Re: File Associations of the same type for multiple programs

If I do this, AI combines them in some kind of way.
Try to add the same extension twice and use different exe files and different verbs.

File Associations of the same type for multiple programs

Hi,
my setup has two exe files to work with a certain file type. One for editing, one for viewing.
So I'd like to use the verb Edit for the edit.exe, and Open for the viewer.exe.
Is this possible?
How can I accomplish this with AI, so that the Windows Explorer has both entries in its toolbar and ...

Re: Custom Action in Rollback

Thanks for your reply.
Is there a reason to put it in front of configInstall instead of behind it?
Which execution stage condition should I choose?

Custom Action in Rollback

I have a .NET custom action which installs custom files during install phase.
When I hit "cancel" while the MSI is installing, the log shows this:


MSI (s) (F0:F0) [13:19:56:145]: Executing op: TypeLibraryRegister(...
RegisterTypeLibraries: ...
MSI (s) (F0:F0) [13:19:56:157]: Executing op ...

Re: MSP can't be built on headless server

In the meantime we found out, that this is an issue with user rights, not with headless machines or windows service restrictions.

When we ran the msiexec command in a cmd which was started using "runas Network Service" ( how to do this ) we got this error message:
"The Windows Installer Service ...

MSP can't be built on headless server

We have a build task on our build server, which runs a script to generate MSP files via command line version of AI.
The windows service hosting the build task runs as "network service" user. Currently the build gets stuck at this step, when generating th pcp database:

msiexec.exe /a "path to.msi ...

How to remove any patch for my product

How can I remove any patch which may be applied to my MSI, prior to applying a new patch? This should work as follows:

Scenario 1:
- MSI only installed
- MSP is executed and applies immediately


Scenario 2:
- MSI + MSP is installed
- a new MSP is executed, removes the old MSP and applies ...

Re: How To set a patch name using CLI

Hi,

I doubt that creating MSPs in an automated build environment is such an uncommon use case. From looking at the aip structure for patch projects I guess that modifying additional fields is a very simple task for you. We are on the enterprise maintenance plan for over 3 years now which is a lot ...

Re: How To set a patch name using CLI

Hi,
is there any change for this topic for the current release? (v 10)
I think this is very basic functionality when I look at the aip file for a patch project.

How To set a patch name using CLI

Hi,

how can I set the name of a patch using the command line version of AI?
I'd like to have it show up in the control panel like
Update for XY
Hotfix for XY

Alternatively, is there a way to set the classification using the CLI?

Re: Pre Build not executed on CLI version

the prebuild tasks are not executed on 9.5 either. On 9.4 it works.
I'm using an enterprise license.
