When updates are issued often, it's nice to users if the updates happen more in the background and interrupt their workflow less. It would be great if Advanced Installer updated more like Google Chrome:
* Download updates in the background
* Apply on next application startup

Convert AdvancedInstaller BATs into EXEs
I enjoy using the AdvancedInstaller command line BAT files to automatically build MSIs for software via Makefiles, it's really easy. But I sometimes have trouble doing this in other kinds of terminals, such as Git Bash / MinGW / MSYS / Cygwin. These terminals don't work with BAT files, so I can't ca...

* Windows 7 Professional x64
* MacBook Pro 2009

Command line building of AIP into MSI
I like using command line scripts for my build process wherever I can. While Advanced Installer provides a wonderful GUI for building MSIs, I would like the option to construct MSIs from AIP files by some command I can type into a Command Prompt window.
