Re: Another version installed: EXE vs MSI
I gather that the solution therefore, when attempting to Mix & Match installations/un-installations from both EXE and MSI installers for the same product, is not to build EXE and MSI builds separately, but instead to build one EXE and run the /extract command to extract the contained MSIs which can ...

Another version installed: EXE vs MSI
I have a product that builds an EXE and also two MSI builds (for 32 and 64 bit).
Under Upgrades is set:
Automatically upgrade older product versions
Use Original Installation path when upgrading
Uninstall old version first
Supposing I install from the EXE. I then run the identical EXE again (no ...

Re: Detecting Uninstallation mode in InstallExecute?
Hi yes it does. UILevel is 5 when launched directly, or 3 when launched with msiexec.exe /x (as is done by the add/remove programs tab in Control Panel).
When UILevel is 5, we show a checkbox on VerifyRemoveDlg called "Remove Configuration Data".
When UILevel is 3, however, all we have at the ...

I have custom action VBS scripts running under InstallExecuteSequence->InstallExecute
They are to remove files and folders left behind by the application. (Configuration files).
I need to allow the user the option to either execute these scripts, or not, upon uninstall.

Re: Creating folders other than Key resources?
"Create folder on target machine" is already selected but the Folder shows under a Component of the same name, and is the Key Feature.
Therefore it cannot be moved to another Component?

Re: Creating folders other than Key resources?
Sorry I made a typo. Should have read
Under Files & Folders, StartMenu->Programs, I have created a FOLDER named [|ProductName]
It is the creation of this folder that is the issue.
I need to know how to create a FOLDER and move it to another component, so I can assign it under a conditional ...

Re: Creating folders other than Key resources?
Also, I have not used the Application ShortCut Folder because I am manually switching-out the shortcut creation by their features, and this would lead to the Application ShortCut Folder being created regardless.

Creating folders other than Key resources?
I decided to manually implement the control of Shortcuts during installation so that I can flexibly control these from command line arguments.
I have manually implemented Shortcut checkboxes which set properties, these properties control Features under which are Components containing Start Menu and ...

Re: Cannot move Shortcut to new feature/Component?
Hi mihai,
we still have both problems. Even if I use a new ShortCutsDlg with its default settings, then switch off the checkboxes, Desktop shortcuts are prevented from installing but not Start Menu shortcuts. We are on Win7 using AI 8.0.2
Our start menu shortcuts are standard shortcuts to ...

Cannot move Shortcut to new feature/Component?
The Shortcuts Dialog seems to be buggy. The lower two checkboxes cannot be hidden (when set not visible, one of them remains visible) and, is only effective for Desktop shortcuts, the Start Menu shortcuts are created regardless. I have therefore decided to implement my own switches to control the ...

I am distributing an .EXE bootstrapped installer which contains .NET framework 2.0 App, and is intended for all 32-bit and 63-bit windows versions from Windows 2000 SP4 upwards to Win7.

Set Product/File Ver with Version read from a file?
I wish to automatically set Product or File Version for my MSI installer.
Ideally I would like to read in the file version from a file I am installing (major/minor/build) and have that automatically set as the file version which shows in my final isntaller file.
Alternatively, I would like to read ...
