Re: installing 32-bit MSI over mixed 32/64-bit EXE

Thanks Eusebiu.

Just a couple of quick questions:

1) Why can't it go in the "Install Execution Stage"?
2) Can it go in the "Finish Dialogs Stage"?

I don't really want to put it in the "Wizard Dialogs Stage" as this before our "DetectProcess" and "StopProcess" actions in the "Install Execution ...

Thanks Eusebiu - this is the last issue we need to resolve before we can roll out our new application :)

Re: installing 32-bit MSI over mixed 32/64-bit EXE

Thanks for taking a look.

In answer to your questions regarding the new installation MSI:

* Updated Product Version from 3.9.4.0 to 4.2.2.0
* Generated new Product Code
* Kept Upgrade Code same

Just tried on another Windows 7 64-bit PC - same result - C:\Program Files\<app> untouched :(

How to exit installation process if app running

When upgrading an app, is it possible to force the installation process to abort if the old app is detected as running?

installing 32-bit MSI over mixed 32/64-bit EXE

To date, we have supplied our app via two installers; a mixed 32/64-bit EXE and a 32-bit MSI.

To simplify things we will supply our new app via just a 32-bit MSI.

The only problem scenario found so far seems to be as follows:

• Installing on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit (Windows 8.1 64-bit is ok, all 32 ...

Re: setup.exe download url

Many thanks for this info - I didn't realise that the setup.exe files differed between installers.

Do you know if I can modify the download URL via the command line? Our builds are automated and all run from the command line for different environments, e.g. test and live.

setup.exe download url

I have successfully built my setup.exe and setup.msi using AI.

I am now ready to deploy these files to my web servers for download. However, before I do this I need to modify setup.exe appropriately. In the past I have done this using msistuff:

msistuff.exe setup.exe -u http://download.devint13 ...

Re: Path variables


Can you please, try to move your files to another partition and redo the operation in a new clean project and tell us what the outcome is?


It didn't work at first, but if I closed down Advanced Installer after making a change to the Path Variables but before running the Convert Paths Wizard ...

Re: Path variables

I also tested the "Convert Path" wizard and I could not reproduce the behaviour you encountered. Are you using Advanced Installer 8.1.3?

The steps I followed in order to to successfully use "Convert Paths" wizard are:

1. Go to "Files & Folders" page and add your files. (Ex: C:\Foo\Foo.txt)
2. Go ...

Re: Path variables

BTW, I've tried the following as suggested by a previous post, but Convert Paths still uses <WindowsVolume> instead of my new variable.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to achieve, but here is the solution I propose. First you can go to "Options -> Path Variables..." in ...

Path variables

I have used the "Path Variables Wizard" to convert existing project paths to use path variables. I would now like to use the command line to set my path variable (in this case <WindowsVolume>) prior to starting a build.

I assume that I need to use something like this:

[<path>\]AdvancedInstaller ...
