Thanks, Cosmin. I wrote a detailed reply yesterday, but apparently this page timed-out and I lost everything I wrote. Anyway, that's unfortunate about the Custom Name field. Here's what I'm trying to do:
I'm creating a generic install where I can just drop in unique customer files and burn a disc ...

Use an INI file parameter in Custom Name
Does anyone know if there's a way to use an INI file entry in the Custom Name for the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs name (under Product Details)? I already have a custom search set up to read the INI file value that I need, and I successfully use that value on the Application Folder name, but it ...

Generic Installer to Copy Folder and Contents?
I need to create a generic installer that copies a folder from a CD that has user-specific data to the target computer. Rather than being required to create a separate install program for every customer, I'd like to just drop the customer files into a folder and burn the CD. I've seen the question ...

Re: Referencing Property Values in Shortcut Name
Thanks for the note and the welcome, Mihai. Resolving the value at build time is fine, but right now it's not being resolved at all. If the values are being pulled from an INI file included in the build, and the referenced values are already included in the INI file, and a pseudo-formatted type is ...

Re: Trouble Getting Digital Signature
Bogdan, installing the trial certificate and then telling AI to get it from the system store worked great. No more UAC warnings! Thanks for the tip.

Referencing Property Values in Shortcut Name
I'm using an INI file in the install source folder that I reference using [SourceDir] to populate some properties using Custom Search. The results from the Test Search are always blank (does this ever work?). The properties are referenced successfully to specify the target installation folder (the ...

Re: Trouble Getting Digital Signature
I recently obtained a free trial Code Signing Certificate from ascertia.com. Perhaps you can get that to work better than I can.
The price is only 1/10 the price of other suppliers, but the Windows 7 UAC window still pops up and tells me the install is from an unknown publisher. The company name ...

Re: Install Custom Action Executing During Uninstall
Thanks, Cosmin. I appreciate the help. That worked, although it's definitely not intuitive to configure!

Install Custom Action Executing During Uninstall
I'm opening a message box from a Custom Action in the Install section of the InstallExecuteSequence. Unfortunately, this action is also running during the Uninstall. There are no Custom Actions defined for Uninstall, Rollback or Commit. It doesn't seem like an Install action should run during the ...
