Sorry if this is a duplicate already on the forum but ...

Re: .NET 3.5 Software Launch Condition fails

Hi,

I've had a similar problem - .NET 4.0 does include things like System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement that we use in .NET 3.5.1 however unlike previous versions of .NET Framework they have no longer included the previous versions in .NET 4.0 but have instead replaced them with new .NET 4.0 ...

ODBC Connect: timeout exceeded

Hi,

I have recently been having problems running SQL scripts where the installation reports ODBC Connect: timeout exceeded.

We use a .NET application that tests the connection to the SQL server (using System.Data.SQLClient rather than ODBC) which always reports that the connection is fine.

Re: Administrator rights on Windows 2008 R2

Hi thanks for the quick reply!

I'm finding it hard to understand what is happening here - I see that if a user runs as the local or domain "Administrator" account specifically that UAC seems to be ignored hence why this passed testing.

OK so this is the scenario that I see when installing as an ...

Re: Administrator rights on Windows 2008 R2

OK I realise that I can change the Custom Action to "Deferred No Impersonation" the only problem is that I NEED impersonation for the SQL connection....

So I guess there are 3 accounts in play at the moment

1) The account the user is logged on as (non-administrator)
2) The account that has been ...

Re: .NET 4.0 not backwards compatible

I still see a problem that we have a pre-requisite that says I need at least .NET 3.5

If .NET 4.0 is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (and the .NET 3.5 SP1 feature is not installed) the prequisite passes however my software then fails as most of the .NET dlls such as System.ActiveDirectory ...

Re: Modify MSI Properties in a .NET Custom Action

Hello - thanks for the information - I'll see if theres a way to work around this with VBScript

I see that .NET Custom Actions don't have access to the MSIHandle so they can't call the MsiSetProperty - I take it there is no way to pass the handle to the custom action via properties?

Re: Upgrading IIS Application Pool Issue

Hello,

This is a first install then uninstall.

I think the only way to have IIS application pools with custom credentials with Advanced Installer is

1. Write a custom action to actually create and uninstall the application pool or

2. Write a custom action to get the current application pool ...

Modify MSI Properties in a .NET Custom Action

Hello,

Within a .NET Custom Action you can access installer properies by using
Context.Parameters["Propertyname"]

Is it possible to change / set these properties from within a custom action?
Using Context.Parameters["Propertyname"]="NewValue" has no effect




Thanks,

It would be extremely useful to be able to call custom actions against .NET code within dialogs the same as you can call them during the actual installations
