No matter what I do, I cannot right-click and 'test' the feature of getting a file's version? Even simply checking for the version of "C:\Windows\notepad.exe" shows 'empty'. This is in 10.3 and 9.8 as well. Does the test failure mean the search will fail?

hi! I just downloaded the zip attached here, http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/serial-number-validation-dll.html and upon opening it in 10.2, it appears to be read only? Nothing is editable and the CA items are not shown. I was just going to quick look at it to see how the CA is done for t...

Your answer was extremely helpful!

Now if I want to call my DLL function from a GUI dialog 'Next' action, can I do that? I am not getting the selection option.
thank you!

Thank you so much for this Install Feature Based on Condition in 9.3 (2012-06)! I had tried to do this in an earlier version and it was very difficult for me. The new selection is incredibly helpful. AIP's frequent, significant updates are a huge blessing.

I think , Daniel, that your code for the substitution files should include the parent node element, config, right? The OP wanted to remove the other option, so that seems necessary. In other words, for Option A; <Config> <add type="OptionA"> <attribute name="value1" value="[...

hi! This is from a previous post but I wanted the subject to be right. http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25936 Re: Vbscript for MSI use ; documentation?

I'm moving my C# questions to a new topic so the subject line is clearer.

I'm essentially trying to flavor a configuration file to be machine-specific. The regex pattern in the ComputerName tells me what kind of deployment options it should use. So, given that computation of Flavor, then I want to edit config files to include the proper values. I didn't want to use the ni...

Thank you so much for this hint! Is a DLL custom action availalble to be rolled back/

AnneTheAgile

hi! I wonder if you all know how to search for the documentation for the flavor of VB (cscript? wscript?) which is allowed by Windows installer? I continually find the commands discovered by google are not allowed, and it is very slow to debug.
thank you!

Radu was nicely offering me help offline and I thought maybe i should post it to the forum. I'm trying to paste modified files into my installation appdir, after the regular install is done. I could not do it with this; >To achieve what you want you can follow our "Install a user specific file&...

I think this cannot be done but wanted to be totally sure. Can I call a BAT file from a custom action VB script? I would like to do this because I was running a BAT file a custom action and I can't figure out how to give nice return code differentiation for debugging. I would love to provide details...

AnneTheAgile

For (me?) in the future, stripping quotes in a bat file can be done via the tilde search/replace function in BAT language.

I wish I could Modify a session property.

AnneTheAgile

I hear with the Visual Studio installer, file additions or deletions are automatically detected. Thus the installer msi knows to include or remove them.

Is there a way to have AIP recognize such changes to the csproj project files, which document such content changes?
thank you!

AnneTheAgile

Thank you! Your post helped me understand the "setup.iss" "answers file" better in the AIP context. I have never seen the main AIP installer create one, right?
