Thanks Catalin - that's a great write up. I will take a closer look and see if I can improve on what I have with the Enterprise project.

I am experimenting with the Enterprise license and it looks like I can work around my issues with this version. As my concerns are largely user-experience related rather than functional I think the upgrade makes sense.

Thanks,

Hi, I have an installer working on a per-user basis which covers 99% of my install scenarios brilliantly, but... In some admin scenarios my application needs to be installed silently by an administrator who is not the target user. In this case, the install should be for ALLUSERS. In fact, an install...

Just a note to say that the other support ticket has now been resolved. The fix applied there removes the problem discussed here, so please consider this ticket closed as well.

Thanks again,

That is a fantastic write up Liviu - thanks for your help! I have been working today to implement the instructions and am once again very pleased with the install process. All problems solved. ...I think. ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$

Thanks again,

Thanks for the update. I am working on this now. It's a little weird. The InstallTypeDlg shows a Back button even if the WelcomeDlg is not provided. So the Welcome dialog is required just so the Back button doesn't look stupid. Once on the InstallDlg page, there is no Back button. Which is a weird b...

Thanks for the quick reply Catalin. I had a 'InstallDlg' which collects the folder information before progressing InstallTypeDlg and I cannot change the order. It looks like this dialog type is either no longer supported, or not supported with this build type. I will revisit the dialogs and see if I...

Hi, I have recently added a 'InstallTypeDlg' to my installation project. I have just discovered that this breaks the user specified Installation Path. So, if a user specifies a directory other than the default "Program Files" directory, the installer ignores this and installs to "Prog...

Thanks for the detailed reply Liviu. Apologies for the slow reply - I have been out of office. Please note that I am using Advanced Installer Professional. I think some of the suggestions you made are not applicable to me as I cannot edit the install dialog. Can you please confirm the minimum price ...

Hi, I am having two problems creating a per user mixed install. First, I cannot get the AI_InstallPerUser property to set the default. I have tried both as a private and public property. I have also tried setting the ALLUSERS property, but this cannot be set to the empty string as described here: ht...

Thanks for the quick reply. "Advertised Shortcut" certainly sounds like the problem. I will investigate this further before sending over files, but I have checked and the shortcuts are not marked as advertised in the "Edit Shortcut Properties" window. I can also see no 'advertise...

Hi, I have an installer which installs a Start Menu folder as well as a file association. Everything works great. A customer noticed that if the Start Menu folder is renamed after installation, the file association is broken. Windows prompts with "Please wait while Windows configures ... Gather...

Hi Catalin, Thanks for your reply - I was afraid that might be the case. To my knowledge, I am not 'chaining prerequisites'. My installer is a very simple .Net install with some GAC registration. As I say, my best guess is that the poor performance is related to network availability. Thanks again, T...

Hi, The "Publishing Product Information" stage of the installation process takes a long time on computers with a blocked internet connection (firewall, etc...). The installation does complete successfully, but it looks like the installer is waiting for a connection timeout. My installation...

I am sure that no other language is selected. I fixed the problem by manually editing the XML project file. Honestly - not really sure what I did. Changes were made based on comparison with a previous version. Seems to be OK, but I am not happy about having to make changes this way. Thanks, Toby
