Hey team,
We're using the AdvInst 10.6 with the default air theme, and when the user presses the EULA's print button, they were surprised that the whole license was immediately sent to the default printer.
They expected they would get a printer dialog that allowed choice of printer, print settings ...

Re: chained msi with bad APPDIR property fails, returns
Ah, good to know. Thanks for the reply!
That would be worth the upgrade for us; we've encountered another example (Error 1401 - permissions in registry) in a chained installer that wasn't elevated, that wasn't throwing a fatal error. The 11.3 update generally handles chained failures as fatal ...

Re: merging chained msi logs, log levels
Thanks for the reply, I'll see what I can add myself.
If anything, I would set up the main installer with a custom action to log each of the lines in the chained log files.

merging chained msi logs, log levels
Hey there,
I am getting started with chaining component msi installers.
I see that I can enable a specific logfile, but it can be difficult to support our customers if they have to find multiple output files.
Ideally, I'd like to see all the logged information inside the parent's log file, using ...

chained msi with bad APPDIR property fails, returns
Hey there,
I am trying out chaining some of our msi components in advinst 10.6.
I put our installer's shared data into an msi, and then chained it from our current msi.
Since the parent msi sets APPDIR/TARGETDIR, I passed APPDIR along to the child msi in the properties field for installation.
The ...

Re: Running a pre-install prerequisite that halts installati
I deleted and re-added my prerequisite, and it seems to be working this time without calling the x64 application.

Re: Running a pre-install prerequisite that halts installati
Oh. There's a checkbox in the global bootstrapper settings, which checks defined launch conditions before pre-install requirements, but only if there is a requirement. This is almost exactly what I need, I think. More testing required.

Running a pre-install prerequisite that halts installation
Hi authors and developers!
I am working on an installer for an x64 product.
It correctly throws the msiexec 'wrong processor type' dialog when run on x86 operating systems.
Our users report that specific error dialog is confusing, so we'd like to throw our own error dialog before that one shows up ...

Re: SEH_AV_DEP_BADPTR
Hey Daniel,
Thanks for your reply.
That is interesting; we are using a customized version of the default air theme.
Besides changing png/jpg, some buttons send web request events.
It looks like we also hit this erratically: I have 3 total developer-logged cases since March, but every time, the ...

Re: Property Based Folder Installing Into Weird Locations
For us, using advinst10.6 mixed x86/x64 mode, a file search using a registry location as the folder base might be reliable at returning the folder I needed (based on a file's existence in that folder). I'm not convinced yet that it will return a null/empty string.

Re: Property Based Folder Installing Into Weird Locations
I have a similar issue with registry search for folder returning <bootvolume>PROPERTYNAME with advinst 10.6. This didn't happen when using an x64 MSI, but we transitioned to x86/x64 mixed mode, and instead of null/empty, the registry search always returns this bad value instead.

Hey team,
Checked in today to see if there is a new version available, but it doesn't look like one was released yet.
When should I check back?
Kind regards,
