We are currently using the 'setup type' dialog and users are complaining that they can't find the install path (its in the custom setting only). Logically we think the install location and the selection of what to install should be separate.

Would it be possible to have a second type of 'setup ...

We also need merge modules, in order to allow our product to be embedded within another installer.

Do you know when the merge module creation feature is planned for release?

Thanks,

Ed.

The new, 'current feature' drop down in version 2.4 is really useful. Thanks!

Edward-Ross

Fantastic.

Thanks for providing such good customer support. I think your company's responsiveness keeps Advanced Installer ahead of the competition!

I experience the same problem. If I create a new build id and run the install again I get a complete new install, including files and two entries in the software list from the windows control panel.

I did check the 'automatically upgrade...' setting. I did change the version number from '2.2.2 ...

I just did some tests. If I don't rebuild then I can uninstall using the run button. But if I rebuild, then I have to go through the control panel.

Edward-Ross

Good point. But if the product id changed then I don't think you get that dialog.
