Hi, I'm also getting this issue (happens on Windows 7 for me; appears to work ok under Windows 8) with AI 10.5.1.
Would it be possible for you to email me the patch too, as I'd prefer not to have to downgrade to AI 10.3 (if I still the installation for that version that is...)?
Thanks.

"Product already installed" text is incorrect for OS
Not sure if this is something Advanced Installer can control, or whether it's part of MSI itself, but the error box that pops up if you try to run the installer when another version of the product is already installed has a message that only applies to Windows XP: "Another version of this product is ...

Re: Native DLL doesn't work when built with .NET 4 framework
I've found the reason, whilst creating a new simple DLL to test as you suggested. My original project's CustomActions.config file in the VS project had the element <supportedRuntime> set only to <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>, which supports only up to .NET 3.5. For .NET 4.0 or 4.5, you ...

Re: Native DLL doesn't work when built with .NET 4 framework
Hi Eusebiu,
I've got it working only by using some very complicated code, and it doesn't answer my actual question - why does my WiX DLL not work from the installer when compiled with .NET 4.0 or 4.5?
Thanks,
Nick.

Re: Native DLL doesn't work when built with .NET 4 framework
For other people's info, I managed to do the enumeration check using the very helpful code from http://dotnetgalactics.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/accessing-64-bit-registry-from-a-32-bit-process/ , for .NET 3.5. Note that I had to query the 64-bit hive first, as querying the 32-bit hive (on a 64-bit ...

Native DLL doesn't work when built with .NET 4 framework
I'm using a native C# installer DLL (built with the WiX toolset v3.7 and Visual Studio 2012) to call some custom functions from my installer. They work fine if I build them with .NET 3.5 framework, but if I use .NET 4.0 or 4.5, they fail immediately the function in question is called.

Re: Get error code returned by an EXE custom action
Don't worry, tried it anyway and it copies that file before my dialog appears, so it's working nicely - many thanks!

Re: Get error code returned by an EXE custom action
Thanks. When will it be copied to the PC if it's set as a Temporary File? I need to run my custom action within a custom dialog that is shown before the files are transferred, as the SQL settings have to be validated before file copying begins (well, specifically, before registry settings are set)...

Re: Get error code returned by an EXE custom action
Hi Eusebiu,
How do I set up a DLL custom action to run an EXE file that is attached to my installation but isn't an installed file? In other words, how do I get the installer to unpackage the 'attached' EXE for my DLL to run? Or will I have to include the DLL as an "installed" file and just delete ...

Get error code returned by an EXE custom action
I've got a custom action running an 'attached file' which is an EXE file. That file returns 0 for ok, or some non-zero value for an error. This is picked up fine by the installer (it fails on non-zero return), but I want to be able to set a property to that return value so I don't have to abort the ...

Re: Service error control not 'continuing' on error
Thanks for the info Dan. Shame Microsoft can't fix such an obvious problem! :)
I think I've resolved the service detection problem; I've made them into out-of-sequence custom actions instead, and now execute them as Published Events when the user clicks the Finish button on the ExitDlg. That seems ...

Re: Left Pane search filter
Hi Bogdon,
I mean anywhere where you can select a Property, e.g. when editing a condition for a new Control Event in a dialog, I can click "Property" under "Insert Operand" in the Edit Condition dialog. That pops up a "Select a Property" popup dialog. Example screenshot attached.
Thanks.

Service error control not 'continuing' on error
My installer installs a service as part of its jobs, which works fine. It is set to then start the service. There are certain conditions under which my service may not start (independent of the installer), and I want the installer to display a warning message to the user (to say they'll need to ...

Find which MySQL ODBC driver is installed?
My installer needs to run an SQL ODBC test. This is done as a custom event using the built-in TestSqlConnection custom event. The [SqlConnectionString] parameter, however, has to be filled in with the MySQL ODBC driver name, e.g. "Driver=[\{]MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver[\}];Server=[HOSTNAME];Port=[PORT ...
