Re: How to change a subfolder source using command line?

Hello and welcome to our forums.

In order to achieve this, you can synchronize your folder to a new path by using the "NewSync" command as detailed on the "New Synchronized Folder Command Option" page.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Best regards,

Re: Missing libraries after update

Hi Andrii,

Indeed, your scenario is not that simple. The easiest solution that I can think of is to set the "Always overwrite existing files" option for the folder first, then select the "Do not overwrite existing file" for each file that you do not want to overwrite. This way the later option will ...

Re: Missing libraries after update

Hi,

I'm afraid that this is an old Windows Installer bug that has never been fixed as mentioned in the " Why do one or more files disappear after an upgrade is performed " FAQ that talks about the same issue.

This problem appears only when a file's version is decreased in the newer version of the ...

Re: Checkbox Misbehave - Multiple Instances

Hi,

I've tested your project and reproduced the behavior. However, looking at the configuration of your project I've noticed that you use the "Generate instances at install time" option for your multiple instances and this seems to be the cause of the issue.

Please keep in mind that this option ...

Re: has no associated entry in the Media table

Hi,

Thank you for the sample project you've sent.

I tested it and, indeed, I reproduced the problem. This seems to be an Advanced Installer issue. A fix will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer. We will update this thread when the fix will be available.

Best regards,

Re: Path Edit with Browse button

Hi,

Indeed, it seems that the "Suite Installation.aip" project from our suite installation sample contains some misconfigurations. We will update it in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

In this meantime, you can use the the fixed project attached ...

Re: Parameters not getting passed properly to prerequisites (in /qn mode)

Hi,

Thank you for the test project.

Please keep in mind that this happens because the "APPDIR" property is not set to any value at the moment the prerequisite is launched during a silent installation.

During a Full UI installation, the APPDIR property is set on the Dialogs stage and the ...

Re: Updating multiple instances problems

Hi Rafael,

Issue 1: Control Panel Displays Incorrect Information
I'm not sure why this happens, maybe something got corrupted on that machine. Do you reproduce the issue on multiple clean machines? Also, it's strange to me that the installer shows version 1.3 and the "Programs and Features" view ...

Re: FAILURE TO UPDATE VIA COMMAND LINE AFTER VERSION 20.7.1

Hi Henrique,

Thank you for sending me your project so I can investigate it. After looking at it, I've found that the new standard action that is supposed to migrate the properties from the main package to the prerequisite was not added to the project during its conversion.

I've fixed the project ...

Re: FAILURE TO UPDATE VIA COMMAND LINE AFTER VERSION 20.7.1

Hi Henrique,

Your configuration seems correct, indeed, and the property's value should be passed correctly. Can you send me your project so I can investigate it and try to find the issue?

Re: Yes or No messagebox doesnt update property in MultipleInstancesDlg

Hi Rafael,

I'm sorry for my previous confusing answer, but I've tested this again and also talk to the development team and it seems that custom actions are not supported on the "MultipleInstances" dialog.

As a workaround, you can add an extra checkbox on that dialog that the user must check ...

Re: Yes or No messagebox doesnt update property in MultipleInstancesDlg

Hi Rafael,

I've tested this and it worked as expected for me. Are you sure that you set the custom action and conditions correctly on the "Next" button? They should look like in the image below:
