Re: how to include dynamically generated strings in a prebuilt
And so I'm assuming then that there is no way to do the same for the .exe installer file? Meaning, dynamically add strings to it when it is downloaded from our web site.

how to include dynamically generated strings in a prebuilt
I have a download page for my .exe and .msi installers... these files get built by my R&D build server which is not accessible by the web server. What I want to do is when a customer logs into my site and clicks a download installer link, what I want to do is add one or more customer-specific un...

Installation Steps: 1) a non-admin logs into Windows 7 2) runs my installer 3) my installer prompts for the admin password because it must run as an administrator 4) I enter...

how to have my installer check for hotfix kb976477 for vsto
For my VSTO 2005 plug-in installer, I want to use the HKLM way of enabling it for Office 2007 if and only if the workstation has the kb976477 hotfix installed. For my plug-in's .msi installer, can anyone provide me with any insight into what I need to check in the Windows registry that will let my i...

First, I am passing the version string into AdvancedInstaller using the SetVersion command line option. I'm using "x.x.x.build" versioning. === Question 1: Is there a GUI checkbox or a command line option that will let me generate a new productcode for every version string for every langid...

Creating an installer for Windows 7, Vista, and XP
I now need to update my Advanced Installer installer to install on Windows 7, and I'm still using 7.1.3. Should I upgrade to version 7.6.1? 7.7 doesn't have a ".1" yet, and so I'm not sure if I should upgrade to the latest. I'm looking at the enhancements and bug fixes, what does "Add...

When installing prerequisites, if a user has an older version of a particular Microsoft prerequisite, VSTO 2005 runtime, they need to manually uninstall it and then rerun the installer. The installer then installs the correct VSTO 2005 runtime update. What is the best way to code this using Advanced...

Re: localize the bootstrapper to non-supported languages
And that definitely includes languages that Advanced Installer does not currently support that we want to add support for?

Re: source of dialog box on uninstall
Do you have any idea what causes this dialog box to be displayed?
It would be nice if it never displayed because I am displaying my own dialog boxes if specific software is running on uninstall.

bootstrapper screen: title bar text => anyway to customize
Is there anyway to customize the title bar text for the bootstrapper screens?
Let's say my product's name is "Foo".
Right now the title bar says
"Foo Setup"
and we want to change it to be
"Foo Installation Wizard"

any way to disable the resize bootstrapper dialog window?
The bootstrapper screens are resizable windows. Is there anyway to disable this feature?
The issue is that we have our custom dialog image for the bootstrapper screens.
And so if the user does not maintain the default height/width ratio, our bootstrapper dialog image can look pretty bad.

Here is a case I just encountered 1) The product is completely installed by the user. This issue is not possible when the user directly runs our .msi or .exe installer. 2) The user then goes to the Windows control panel and selects add/remove programs 3) The user clicks the "Change" button...

localize the bootstrapper to non-supported languages
If we want to create new dictionaries for languages that Advanced Installer does not support, can Advanced Installer still add localized strings for those new languages to the bootstrapper screens? The dictionaries only cover the .msi strings, which is why I am asking the question. === Context: If w...
