Wow. Thanks for the excellent information Daniel !
In my case, this truly is a Prerequisite that must be installed before my components can be registered, so I can't wait until the Finish stage to run it.
I tried calling out to the msi during the Install sequence and it says "another installation is ...

Install a prerequisite installation into my appdir
Hi. Hard to title this.
My product requires a certain prerequisite which I have setup as feature-based. so far so good.
But I would also like to leave this prerequisite behind for my users to deploy along with my components -- so I would like to install the install :-)
I can add the prerequisite ...

Re: How to make prerequisite selector work
This became a non-issue.
I have the prereq linked to a sub-feature giving the user ability to disable the prereq in the Custom option.
so I don't need the prereq dialog at all.

How to make prerequisite selector work
Hello.
I have a feature-based prerequisite (or two).
I added the optional prerequisite dialog to my dialog sequence to give the users a chance to decide if they really want the prereq installed.
1) The selector control is a little ugly - big white box in middle of pretty theme.
2) Even though ...

Error Policy in Edit Text File dialog doesn't save
Hi. I'm using the "Edit Text File Update" dialog. Under "Error Policy", I try to use "Skip File" setting (to ignore any errors that might occur), but when I come back into the dialog, it is always reset to "abort install" setting.
(AI 8.8.1)
perhaps I can change the option flags in the XML manually?

Re: Error with signed installation
This seems backwards to me.
It sounds like you are suggesting that the developer(s) would now be stuck building on the commandline rather than from within the tool.
I want the developer to have full freedom in the tool (build, test, etc from the gui) and also not worry about turning off the signing ...

Re: Error with signed installation
Thank you Bogdan.
I am signing the exe as part of my build process since only my build server has the signature certificate.
How can I tell AI only to sign during the official build?

Re: Error with signed installation
Hi. I have the same error with AI 8.7.1.
I am using signtool to sign the install. unsigned, it works. signed, it gives the popup window error "The access code is invalid" after I click the 'Install' button. I have verbose logging on yet I don't find any log files anywhere.
