Had the same Problem, and Ionut's resolution solved it for me.
Anyway i think, there should be a import function for older version aip files..

Short problem description:
In the Path field in the Media Tab, i'd like to enter the product name + the version, but i cant do that, cause i cant use dots (".").

It should look like that: product3.1

Is this any problem, or just a forgotten feature?

Maniac

Like the title says.. is it possible to create line breaks in the comments section of the support information of the Add or Remove Programs panel?

Maniac

Since i have only 2 exe files and 1 dll (and no ocx) in this whole project, a script won't be nessecary^^

But i'll keep it in mind, for future projects!

Thanks for your help,

Maniac

Well.. that was what I was afraid of..

In my Project I saw a few components that had the same directory, and was able to move the resources.
Is or will there be in future releases any feature like "clean up components" which merges all components which have the same directory?
With more than 1000 ...

But.. if I have two files. One is installed to TARGETDIR\folderone and the other one to TARGETDIR\foldertwo AI won't let me to put them into one component.
Only if they are in the same folder i can drag 'n drop them..
My question was, how to move them if they have different targetdirectorys?

Maniac

Is there a way to reduce the count of components, without reducing the count of files?
From that what I saw, every component has it's specific folder, right? So I can't put files from different folders into one component?

Maniac

This isn't really a problem, but a question.

Do you have tips how to increase the performance of the install process?
Because.. now I have more then 1000 components, and the installation/uninstallation takes very long..
Can I maybe do something like merging components?
Does it increase performance ...

Maniac

Great! That did it!

Thanks a lot, Mike!
I wish every Software distributer would have such support ${L_SMILIES_SHOCKED}$

Maniac

Thanks, that worked fine..
But i have another scripting problem, that seems to be installer related:

Im using this line to remove the folder i got back from installer:

fso.DeleteFolder filespec,true

But i always get a Path not Found error.
Im trying to remove it during the InstallFinalize ...

Maniac

Might be a dumb question, but maybe u can help me..

It's been a while since i had to code something in vbs, that's why i have some problems with it now..

Function Main
Dim fso
Dim filespec
Set filespec = Session.Property("CustomActionData")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject ...
