If I use "Place files unpacked" could I change a resource file such as an image for my app for each install without rebuilding the install? For example, if I have an application that displays a company logo on the form (my application, not the installer setup), and I want each client to have their ...

Yes, thank you!

Ok, I've hit this same issue and need to be able to install the Jet driver. I created a search for the msjet40.dll. Now I'm not sure how to go about checking the OS version and running the proper exe. I assume this would go under "Additional Launch Conditions"? Since the main install doesn't support ...

I used your method for checking for the Access Runtime by checking the registry "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSACCESS.EXE\Path". It seems that some users are running the install and it's not installing the runtime yet the runtime is missing from their computer. I'm ...

When creating a patch project for an update does it determine what has changed or do I need to remove everything from the new project that I do not want to overwrite on the update? Example is the original install adds an access database. I do not want to overwrite this on subsequent updates.

I'm a developer who's had little experience creating installs. When a project came up recently that required a fairly complex install (checking for existing files, check for updates, registry, etc), I checked the usual big names in installer software. I couldn't believe how expensive they were. We ...

When I click "Save" it asks if it should create a new ProductCode and I choose "No" as it states in the documentation. I then build the project. I create a new patch project and ...

I tried my first patch and am getting an error that the PackageCode is not unique. Any ideas?

digitalman

I tried the command line version of the install you suggested for just the tools and MsiMsp.exe does not get installed. I will try doing a full install of the PSDK now.

Thanks. I did try searching the forums for this answer but got 11 pages of results and did not see it.

When trying to build a patch, a dialog pops up asking for MsiMsp.exe. I searched my entire drive for this file and can't find it. Is it not included with AI?

Make sure [NETWORK_PATH] is a property based folder defined under "Files and Folders"

I need to do something very similar and am getting an error 2343 as well.

I have a Path Edit on my custom dialog which I default to c:\. However, when I click my adjacent pushbutton I get a dialog with ...

My confusion came from the fact that you select "Set Property" from the dropdown and type [_BrowseProperty] over it. The PathEdit needs to be a valid value. I set it to C:\.

digitalman

Hmm, well I guess I do need to add the "Update" shortcut to the original.
