Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
We do not have any configuration under Windows Server Roles. All we have done is added a Windows Features Bundle which should install the following features:

Prevent IIS Features Being Installed
Hi,
We are currently developing a web application that will be installed to IIS using an Advanced Installer setup. As this is a public-facing web server, we want it as tied down as possible and only have the specific IIS features that we need installed. However, despite going through all of the ...

Default installation folder on upgrade
Hi,
We are in the process of converting our existing .NET products from separate 32- and 64-bit applications to single "Any CPU" applications. Part of this work is to update the installers to use mixed 32/64 so that the default installation location is the "Program Files" folder irrespective of the ...

Automatically choosing installation type
Hi there,

What I would like to accomplish is that when our installer upgrades an existing version, it will conditionally not show the Setup Type dialog and instead, automatically choose either "Full" or "Typical" based on what's already installed. Here is how I plan ...

Can a 32-bit installer upgrade a 64-bit application?
Hi,
I have a problem that I hope you'll be able to help with.
We have an application that we have previously made available in both 32- and 64-bit versions. The installers share the same product code and upgrade codes, which ensures they cannot be simultaneously installed.
For the next release ...

Re: Custom Action DLL: Unable to see AI_INSTALL etc.
Hi,
The answer is yes, there is... It's called UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372380.aspx
As the documentation says, it is only configured when an old product is removed during an upgrade. Problem solved!

Well, I have made some progress. I was evidently wrong about the AI_MAINT and OLDPRODUCTS properties, as I can see that they do get values. Howevever, AI_MAINT only receives a value when you use the maintenance dialog; I know this sounds obvious but you don't get it when you use the Uninstall ...
