In March 2022, we launched “The Installer Testing Guide” ebook (if you don’t have it already, grab your free copy now).

With Advanced Installer’s PowerShell automation, you can automatically create the Updates Configuration File –the one placed on your server and used by the Updater to determine if there are any updates available.

If you are a System Administrator, IT Pro, or Developer, and want to find out how to perform a silent MSI or EXE installation – this article is for you!

As a developer or ISV, you spend most of your time developing and improving applications to meet your users’ needs.

Advanced Installer 19.4 brings you a new built-in functionality to help you automate the process of adding context menu items to your application.

In this article we’ll go through how you can preserve customizations between IIS (Internet Information Services) updates in just one-click.

Prior to Windows 10 version 2004, if your MSIX package contained an HKCU registry and your application tried to modify it, the operation would crash.

Applications behave differently when running within an MSIX container. For example, you cannot set a non-executable file as a target for your application by default.

In this ever-changing tech world, we are constantly adapting to keep up with the changes and remain relevant in the software sector we work in.

We extremely recommend you to validate an MSI before attempting to install it for the first time.

We are so excited about our new Github Actions integration that we can't help it.

Microsoft pre-released the possibility to directly upload MSI and EXE applications to the Microsoft Store.

You are invited to join our upcoming LIVE Webinar to see a demo where Advanced Installer presents its own GitHub Action integration, and learn how to use it.

In our previous article titled "How to automate the MSI building using GitHub Actions", we saw how you can use Advanced Installer's own GitHub Action to automate the build of your MSI packages.

In this article, we will take a look at how MSIX technology handles log files whenever an installation issue occurs.

What's the most efficient way to perform quick edits to an MSI package?

The new version of Advanced Installer comes with a new CI/CD integration: GitHub Actions.

The GitHub Actions platform simplifies the automation of your software workflows. It allows you to build, test and deploy your code directly from GitHub, making it a super reliable CI/CD platform.

MSIX has been available for almost four years now, since Microsoft first announced it. Although 2021 did not deliver all of the advances I had hoped for, I was pleased to see MSIX adoption continue to expand on a regular basis.

When Win32 applications run inside an MSIX container, they behave differently than when they are installed natively. Because of that, we come across errors in the operations we often perform.
