Hello, I've tested your scenario, but I cannot reproduce the behavior. Here's attached a sample, created with version 9.9 of Advanced Installer, which implements a similar scenario. sample.zip Let us know if this helped. All the best, Daniel Sorry for the late reply. That's quite strange. It works ...

Hello, Please keep in mind this is the default Windows Installer behavior. However, in order to achieve what you want you can use a static text control (having the same associated property as your list box control) like this: Text: [LISTBOX_PROP] Property Name: LISTBOX_PROP Here's attached a sample...

Hello, I know that the value of the listbox takes the value of the selection in the control data, but how do I get that value to show itself in text form? I have a listbox with, let's say, Option1 and Option2. Then at the bottom it'll say in static text Your selection is: [value] where the [value] i...

Simple suggestion really. Can there be a "Copy Dialog" function? The reason is because an installer with customized dialogs can be difficult to expand using the current New/Add Dialog function. It only adds a dialog with its default values, which can prove difficult to change depending on ...

You're welcome, glad to help. "Attached Custom Action" indeed means adding "Launch attached file" without sequence . We'll update the user guide. With this custom action you only need to add its resource once when including it at development time. It will be attached to the buil...

Okay thanks, I seem to have gotten that working but I'm not sure yet as I'm having trouble with the VBS script as stated in the wiki page I posted in the first post (http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-conditional-feature.html). The wiki page seems to be outdated with its terms, such as a...

Hello, So my problem is trying to have only 1 file installed based on the feature selected out of several files that has the same name. A bit difficult to explain, so I'll try to use the following example. Here are the files with the same names. Application Folder\Option Files\Option 1\example.txt A...

Before the actual installer starts, it would be "extracting the main application files." What exactly is the function of this? It can dramatically increase the time it takes overall to install the application (including the time it takes during install) depending on its size. I assumed tha...

Yes, I checked the Enhanced UI settings and it was already set to Always On. I've sent the AIP file for further analysis, thank you.

I just noticed that this also happens on the default Modern UI

Is this a problem with the computer, or something else? I don't recall having these problems in version 8

Hello, So I decided to redesign the Classic theme dialogs, with the use of the AI-provided icons. It all works well and without problems on the installation UI, but I had ran into some problems with the maintenance UI (below). All images that were not a button had a gray background to them, and stra...

So how would I do a search with custom action? It seems that custom actions are dependent on the Windows Installer "AppSearch"

Or is there a way to use the Search function for files, and able to take the directory of the file somehow?

Hello My problem is using the Search Folder function. I use the wizard, "Search for a folder" and try to have the installer search for a folder on my computer named "Adobe" on all fixed drives, with a 10-deep directory search. I test it, and nothing comes up (yes, I do have a fol...

Hi, I'm afraid I don't understand. Why would you need to search for a file that the user already browsed to on the target machine? However, please keep in mind searches are performed at the beginning of the installation, before the dialogs are displayed. Also, please be more specific about what and...

Hello, I believe you are looking for this article . I want the the Custom/Typical/CompleteInstallButton to check the directory that was inputted into PathEdit to see if it has that specific file, and if it doesn't the button will be disabled. You can add a control condition for that button from the...
