Hi Daniel,

The most important part is that the 4th set is "Build Number" and has no effect on the process of patching, 1.00.00.0 is no different from 1.00.00.999999999999 as far as windows installer is concerned.

The third set is designated as Maintenance number. This is the set that would ...

Thanks, Dan. I have done a similar function with another checkbox on another dialog. I was unaware the ExitDialog controls were protected.

wyzerd

I have been searching all day and haven't found it yet. The ExitDialog on my installation has the option to start an installed program (so the client may set up the license). While this is helpful after the installation of a full release, it is not needed for patches nor maintenance as I leave the ...

Ah! I see. I thought ProductVersion was just another property.

Thanks!

Here is the output from a Jenkins job I am running. The ProductVersion is set to 5.10.00 in the installer itself as that is the main release we are currently working on. However, we also have another team starting on 5.20.00 as it will be an involved process with some major features added. While, I ...

This functionality is documented and supposed to be supported. I was looking for an answer to this as well since the documentation on how to call this is a little vague.

Here is the text from your help:

Advanced Installer 11.3

Usage:
advinst.exe <path_to_project_file>

Thanks, Dan. Yes I am aware of that. Perhaps I should have provided an example of the process I described.

The aip I have added is a truncated version of an actual installation I am authoring.

The Prerequisite is installed in passive mode if the Directory is defined in the registry via the ...

I have been tasked with installing a prerequisite where the run behavior can change depending upon the machine state.
1. If it is the first run, it must ask the user for the installation path.
2. If it has been installed, it should use the path defined in a previous installation
3. Optionally (and ...

Organization->select Feature->Installation Behavior radio buttons are confusing. I spent almost an hour to determine what the intended function is. It is counter intuitive to have a radio button disable its text counterpart. It IS logically correct, however, it is also against every UI I have ever ...

Whoops, I though tthis was fixed once before. I guess it wasn't;

Sorry, I forgot about this. I wrote a custom action to resolve this issue (since it was already in the field), I copy the contents of C:\*.* to SystemSave and next copy them back to C:\. The problem occurs on XP64 systems only. The Installations I have included will produce the undesired effect even ...

Ok, the package is extremely large. and yes it is exceeding 20 minutes to complete the installation which is mostly a file drop. However, this message box is enough for the average user to abort the installation;

I found that my guess was correct. By making the prerequisites single EXE types the DVD started working again. Please have the developer who changed this function fix it.

I have also found this behavior in 10.3. Creating a package and running from the network location works fine, however, installing from DVD fails and does so so early, it does not even produce a log file.

It seems single file prereqs work but multi-file do not.

Tonight I am going to try converting ...
