I'm not sure why your EXE custom action does not find the .config file. The file is indeed extracted in the %temp% directory, but it uses a temporary name (i.e. MSI6F1.tmp), however this should not cause any problem.

Ahhhh, that's the problem then. If AI is unpacking my attached .NET .exe using ...

Hi Eusebiu,

Thanks for the reply. I tried making my .config file a temporary file but when my attached .exe is launched, it doesn't appear to see the .config file. My .exe is a .NET executable which is built against .NET 2.0. The only reason I need the .config file is to tell Windows 8/8.1 that my ...

I've got an installer that needs to launch a .exe file after my installation is complete. This .exe is *not* part of the files that get installed on the system. I'm using a custom action ("Launch Attached File") and this works well but my .exe has a small config file (myExe.config) that needs to go ...

Thank you, Eusebiu. That's exactly the information I was looking for!

I'm building an installer to deploy a plug-in for a 3rd party application. This application is a 32-bit app and it writes information about its install path to a couple of registry keys. On x86 platforms, these registry keys are located at:

HKLM\Software\CompanyName\ProductName\AppDataPath
HKLM ...

Just a couple of updates to my question:

- I'm using AI 10.8 with an Enterprise license
- The prerequisite that I need to download and install is FFmpeg
- The URL I'll be downloading from is http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/static/ffmpeg-latest-win32-static.7z

- It doesn't appear that AI has ...

I have an installer that deploys my code and most of it's dependencies. However, one of my prerequisites has a very strict redistribution license and as such, I need to download and install it manually. This particular prerequisite is actually a 7zip archive (.7z). I know it's possible to download ...

I have a simple .NET application that consists of an EXE file and a couple of DLLs. I'd like to use NGEN to pre-JIT my .exe so I added it under Assemblies and selected the following options:

- Destination: "Private Install To: APPDIR\filename.exe"
- Type: .NET assembly (also, the "Generate native ...

I think this problem stems from the return code coming back from dpinst. It looks like a non-zero value is what I should be expecting when the driver installs properly but that causes the installer to fail if the "Fail installation if custom action returns an error" checkbox is selected. I'm not ...

OK, I set the custom actions as follows:

To install the x64 driver:

Set File To Launch as [&dpinst_x64.exe]
Check "Use 64-bit Launcher"
Condition is VersionNT64

To install the x86 driver:

Set File To Launch as [&dpinst_x86.exe]
Condition is VersionNT

When I run the installer (I'm testing on ...

I am trying to build an installer that deploys a driver using dpinst. My driver package is signed and contains the following files:

dpinst_x86.exe
dpinst_x64.exe
driver.inf
driver.cat
amd64\driver.dll
amd64\driver.sys
x86\driver.dll
x86\driver.sys

Can I add these files to my installer as temporary ...

Please consider this as a request to get this implemented in a future release! ${L_SMILIES_WINK}$ In the meantime, I'll look at splitting my existing INF file into separate x86 and x64 INFs.

I found a post from a couple of years ago which indicates that Advanced Installer only supports separate .INF files for each driver in the Drivers Page. Is it not possible to install a driver for multiple platforms using one INF file?

I need to build an installer that does nothing but deploy a driver (the win32 port of libusb which can be found at http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusb-win32/wiki). The INF file (see below) specifies files for the x86 and x64 platforms. Presumably, the package type will need to be "Mixed 32/64 ...

Is it possible to set all or part of the version number of our installer as a build event? We use a command line tool called SubWCRev.exe (part of TortoiseSVN) to stamp the SVN revision number into the version number of our application assembly and we'd like to do something similar for the installer ...
