How can I return data/values from a custom action (.exe)?
I'd like to execute a custom action (custom .exe) during Install Execution (Execution time: deferred), and then return some text or a status back to advanced installer so I can change the text displayed on ExitDialog depending on what happens during this .exe. What's the best way to go about this? I...

Server 2012 R2 launch condition?
10.7 added "Updated Windows Features support for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2".. but I just want to double-check something. In the Launch Conditions dialog, there is Windows 8.1, and Server 2008 R2, but no 2012 R2: http://i.imgur.com/DcSENKM.png Is this expected, or should there ...

Re: 32/64-bit specific prerequisites for a mixed 32/64-bit app
The functionality you are looking for is in the Prerequisite's Install Conditions tab, specifically in the Launch Conditions section. There's an option for "Windows NT" and "Windows NT 64-bit". "Windows NT 64-bit" is pretty clear: If I only check that one, it will only...

32/64-bit specific prerequisites for a mixed 32/64-bit app
I'm trying to add the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package to my installer, but I'm not sure how to do it since the C++ redistributable has different downloads/installs for 32-bit and for 64-bit. My app is a .NET app, and it's targeted as mixed 64/32-bit. I followed the Mixed 32/64-bit ...

Re: "wait until the service completes"?
In my application, upon initial install the services won't run because they need a database configured and a connection string. I had unchecked the "start on install" because otherwise the services would fail to start, and then the installer would consider the installation failed, and roll...

"wait until the service completes"?
What does the "Wait until the service completes" option do? It's not in the documentation (http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... rties.html)

Making a launch condition for a specific component?
Here's the scenario: I have a product that has a few different applications. One of the applications is a web app. It obviously depends on IIS being installed, however, it is possible to install the other applications without installing the web app. I don't want the whole package to have a launch co...

Re: Specifying components on command line - silent mode
Hi Cosmin, Thanks - I can provide more details. It may be that I don't understand this properly. I have (currently) 5 components (lets say A, B, C, D and E), and any combination of them may be selected (eg, all 5, or A+B+D, or B+C, or A+C+E, etc). This is because there are several different server c...

Specifying components on command line - silent mode
One of the things I am trying to do early on in my current development project is continuous deployment. I'll be automatically installing upgrades on a couple of test servers, so I need to use the /qn option to suppress the UI. I know during upgrades the installer will preserve the selected componen...

Re: Setting output directory in the command line
I agree this would be a nice feature, though because AI uses relative paths there is a way around it: In my project, I have the following checked into SVN: trunk\Installer\ trunk\Installer\Installer.aip trunk\Installer\Staging trunk\Installer\Staging\Component1 trunk\Installer\Staging\Component2 tru...

Detect background changes to .aip and prompt to reload
This is a missing feature that is potentially very dangerous in a multi-developer environment using source control. Advanced Installer should monitor the .aip file it has open for changes in the background. If changes are detected, it should prompt to reload the file. There are two different prompts...
