Re: Updater does not detect a new version
Hello and welcome to our forums,
I have tested the scenario and replicated the behavior using your sent (over email) test project. Even though I cannot say why this happens, this seems to be very project specific as I cannot replicate it in a new project with same configuration.

Thank you for your patience on this!
I have tested your setup project and replicated the issue. It seems the behavior is caused by the fact I forgot to document one last step you need to configure. I apologize for this.

Re: Copying over registry keys
Hi Zsolt,
Unfortunately we do not have any built-in support for your request.
The only solution would be to create your own custom action code to run during installation.
If you have any questions or doubts just let us know.
All the best,
Daniel

Re: Adding User-Defined Parameters to Existing Installer
Hi,
A possible solution for you will be to build the setup project on the fly. For instance you can try to trigger an installer build from your web site after the customer fill in his data and then upload the built installer to your customer.

Re: Value passing between custom actions
Hi,
You should be able to write in the 64-bit section of the registry as long as your PowerShell custom action is configured to use the "x64" platform. I have just tested this and successfully ran and created the 64-bit registry.

Re: Value passing between custom actions
Hi,
This approach does not work because during a deferred custom action you cannot set an installer property. Only from an immediate action you can set an installer property.
The correct approach would be to try writing your value in a temp resource (e.g. registry, file) and then accessing it from ...
