I missed it when I received the email somehow. I just went and looked and found it. I'll use that to create account - thanks.

I was told when I renewed maintenance that any purchase would include a free 6 month subscription to Analytics. I'm only seeing an option for a free 2 months when I create an account. How do I go about getting the full 6 months? FWIW: I didn't complete the process of creating an analytics account as...

I have an installer project that I’ve been using for years. The installer is configured to sign a package with a code signing cert. I just found that a couple of months ago, when installing windows warns it’s from an unknown publisher. What's further odd about it, when looking at the properties of t...

I need my installer to behave differently based on the version that it is upgrading. The installer will encounter one of three scenarios. A first time install, upgrade against the current major version, or upgrade against previous major version. The previous installer I wrote wasn't difficult becaus...

I have an installer project that builds an application written in Visual Studio, but the installer is not integrated to visual studio - i run it seperately. The way the installer was created originally was to migrate a deployment project. Now that I have released that version, I want to release an u...

I am working with a .Net setup project that I need to update the references. I use a set of third party controls in the development, and when they issue an update, it will change quite a number of references in my solution. (This is the DevExpress set of controls) Is there a way to have Advances Ins...

I've found where this is done. It is in the Dialogs view. (I had looked there but missed it)

To change grapics:
Dialog view -> expand "EXE bootstrapper" at the top.
Select Bootstrapper UI
Change images in the last two items on right hand pane.

Is it possible to change the graphic that displays during the install of a prerequisite? I've looked at the dialogs list and dont' see where i select which graphic to use.

Thanks for the suggestion --- i got it working now. Wanted to post back with the solution i came up with in case anyone else finds this thread and has the same issue. I defined two seperate custom actions. Both set the label to "hide" in the action. One is "NOT OLDPRODUCTS". The ...

I have a label on the Exit Dialog that I only want to have visible only if an upgrade is being performed. Using the ControlConditions - i've successfully added a condition of "not installed" and an action of "hide" - this works as expected. The issue is the exit dialog is also ca...

When creating custom dialogs, I have a few labels that have text that would be easier to enter into a multi-line text edit box. Attached is a screen shot of the form from AI where I enter the text now. What I end up doing is preparing the text in another program - either notepad or even Word if I wa...

Thanks for your responses - that got me everything I need. Regarding upgrades showing in control panel twice: The critical piece of information that I didn't about know is in the Upgrade Page help file you linked to: "A per-user installation cannot upgrade a per-machine installation and a per-m...

In my installer, I am having two issues when running against a machine with a previously installed version. First, both the old and new version show in control panel. The upgrade code for the old version and hte new version match. I have regenerated the product code. Second (and likely related to th...

fyi: sent vdproj and aip files this morning

Regarding passing the property to the installer class via the dialog: There is something odd in my project. It's a migrated visual studio setup project. I am unable to locate the custom action that the dialog your mentioning is referenced from. If i add a custom action to the Install node of Install...
