Re: Install failure on only one of three identical computers
Sorry about that, I thought I had successfully uploaded the files. However, I have just recently learned that the failure occurred due to an error return from our customized software addition, so the problem is ours, not Advanced Installer's. Thank you for your prompt response, but you may close thi...

Install failure on only one of three identical computers
A recent build of our software is failing to install on one of three computers, allf which are identical, as far as we know. All three computers have the same Win7X86 operating system and the same type of motherboard. The error returned at the end of the log file is 1603 which seems to be a bit myst...

Install attempt brings up Windows installer dialogue
I am attempting an installation without full administrator rights. I don't know if that is relevant or not, but the behavior is odd. None of the installer dialogues appear, and no log file is generated. Instead, a message box listing windows installer command line options appears [attached]. I have ...

Re: Updating a prerequisite installation
I considered a recipe entry as a marker that indicates whether or not the software is resident on the machine, but the issue is that existing installations will not have that registry entry, so they will not identify as needing an upgrade. It seems the only way I can accomplish this is to write my o...

Updating a prerequisite installation
Sorry if you have already covered this, but the forum search will not permit "update" "prerequite" "conditional" or any of the words that might link to this topic. I need to install a custom software package as a prerequisite, but only on the conditions that (1) the tar...

Re: Faling build
A hard reboot seems to have fixed the problem. Sorry for the panic.

Faling build
I just build my project yesterday when I left. This morning I found an error, and tried to rebuild -- but it is failing with an error I do not understand. Screen shot attached. Please help! I have a deadline!

Re: Global Desktop Shortcut when installing for a single use
Aha, you nailed it! I had the wrong setting despite having noted the correct setting in my procedural document.

Re: Global Desktop Shortcut when installing for a single use
The issue has recurred with my latest build. I do not know what has changed, certainly nothing intentional that is related to my program shortcuts. In the verbose log it clearly shows the desktop icon being created on the public desktop, not the for the current user as the other icon in the start me...

Default folder during custom action execution
I had an installation failure on one computer, that was not repeatible on another. I have a custom action executable file that is executed before files are copied to the target computer. Part of what this executable needs to do is to create a temporary file, and that attempt resulted in a system err...

Re: Global Desktop Shortcut when installing for a single use
I was reproducing the error reliably before, but now it seems that I cannot. Whatever has changed, I do not know. The verbose log is attached if it is of any use to you, but the issue seems to have gone away.

Re: Crash when downloading .NET 4.0 prerequisite
Windows installer version: Windows ® Installer. V 4.5.6001.22159 So far we only have Advanced Installer on my XP machine, and all the other developers have Windows 7, so I will not be able to make an exact replication of the error on a "clean" machine, unless it shows up on a Windows 7 mac...

Re: Global Desktop Shortcut when installing for a single use
I am getting identical behavior with regards to the desktop shortcut. I create my project to install per user, but the desktop icon is placed in the public desktop rather than that for the current user. My operating system is XP sp3. Project file attached.
