I am not sure what happened but I removed the component from the AI build and added it back again. Now when I run the installer it behaves as it should.
Annoying that I could not get to the bottom of why it would not uninstall but pleased that it is working now.

New dll is not uninstalled when the uninstaller is run
I have an installer that I have been using for many years. It consists of about 15 different dlls most of which are added to the GAC by adding them via the Assemblies area of AI. Previously whenever I have installed and then uninstalled the product all of the dlls have been removed too. I have check...

Re: Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 extensions incompatible projects
I managed to resolve this by repairing both versions of Visual Studio.
One thing that was not obvious was that even though they were both repaired the projects still showed as being incompatible. I had to reload them inside the solution for them to be recognised.

Re: Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 extensions incompatible projects
What is really strange is that I removed the extension, but I still get the error message coming up!

Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 extensions incompatible projects
Relatively recently my AI installer project stopped being compatible inside both Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 (I use both for different projects). I cannot work out why. In response I upgraded my AI to the latest version and there are no new versions of VS to upgrade to. When I start up VS I get the ...

Re: Invalid MSI Identifier string
Thank you. That seems to have solve the issue. When I look at the export of the registry, I can see some strange characters there as shown below: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Caphyon\Advanced Installer\Projects\{EC2A18BB-E2F6-484E-9277-480308CDB2A1}] "PathVariablesUsage"="0" "...

Invalid MSI Identifier string
I am getting this error with a number of my AI projects. These are slightly older projects that I have not opened for a while. I have about three or four that I open regular and those work fine. I think that they are all based on the same original custom template but I am not sure why I am getting t...

Re: Unhandled Exception:Retrieving the COM class factory
I realise that this is an old issue but I am also getting exactly the same error. The build works fine in AdvancedInstaller but when it is run as part of a setup project it fails. I am on version 16.7.4 of Visual Studio, and 17.5 of AI. For expediency, I will also just rebuild the set up app but I j...

the target ResolveAssemblyReferences does not exist in the project
When building in Visual Studio 19, I am getting the error: The target ResolveAssemblyReferences does not exist in the project. My AI project is really quite old and has gone through many upgrades. (I am not sure if this is relevant or not) but I have had similar issues in the past e.g. https://www.a...

Error building is VS - The target "ResolveProjectReferenceOutputs" does not exist in the project
I just upgraded to 14.4 and all of a sudden I am getting this error in Visual Studio when I compile a project. It worked a the previous version. It sees as though the VS component was automatically upgraded as I was not able to compile with the updated version of AI itself so I upgraded AI to 14.4 a...

Re: Apply template to Visual Studio setup project
Hi,
That seems to work, thank you. Does this mean though that it is not possible to have more than one template type. My template is very specific to a certain setup that we have and we would like to retain your default template too. Is this possible?
