Hello, maybe I just don't understand which criteria Advanced Installer uses to determine if a file in a synced folder is new: I have a folder that contains DLLs. The Version of 3 DLLs hasn't changed, just the file date and the file size have. Unfortunately the file sync does not recognize these DLLs...

Hi, I have a package that depends on .Net 4.8. I have checkmarked that it gets downloaded ("Download single file from URL"). However, it seems that the installer looks for an internet connection even if .Net 4.8 (or newer) is already installed. Can I prevent AI to do that somehow? Reason: ...

Hello, does anyone know about a whitepaper on how to use MSIX packages for automatic software deployment on Terminal Server (Server 2016,2019, 2020) via SCCM? As you might know, these tasks are done with SYSTEM rights, no user interaction and fully automatic. But MSIX packages are installed in user ...

Today I did some further testing: 1) using version 21.10042.0 to update package 19.10064.1 --> Did not work (a newer package of "package name" is already installed 2) using version 20.20042.0 to update package 19.10064.1 --> Did work. Question: Why is the first section ignored? My understa...

honestly.... I was not kidding...

Hej guys, maybe I am a little confused, but... since when is version "19.10064.1" more recent than "20.10042.0"? I cannot install my major MSI update because the package (20.10042.0) claims that a newer version is already installed. I have Adv. Installer 17.3 installed... what is...

The good thing is: You can checkmark ANY file in the components as "shared DLL Reference Count". Even if not all files are listed within the above mentioned registry key, they will be properly tagged and not uninstalled as long there's an instance installed that is using them. However, I d...

Hi, thanks (again) for your reply. However, it didn't help. So I monitored what happens when you de-klick the "dynamically determine port" checkbox and enter the port your config needs. It creates and HKLM entry (at least for a "system" ODBC entry): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\W...

Hi Daniel,

thank you so far. What is the correct syntax for defining a PORT in the ODBC config (Data Sources dialog)?

I now have used

Code: Select all

Server=Servername\Instance,Port

and LASTUSER=username with no password (but there's one)

Olaf S

Thanks Daniel, I'll explain... 1) I have set up the ODBC connection in the package (which does not allow me to set the PORT so that the default config applies (checkmark for Default Port is set): https://ibb.co/s3cQ0kd The setup is as follows: https://ibb.co/vdbNk8T 2) I have setup up a predefined S...

Olaf S

Hello, this problem revisits me from time to time... sorry... :-) The reason it comes back is, that the tag "use default port" in the ODBC client configuration dialog is NOT UNSET when defining a custom SQL connection which I do as follows in advanced installer: Driver={[DBDriver_PROP]};Se...

Hi, "simply" the topic: I want to install multiple instances of a software on the very same machine. This should be steered by an MSI parameter. Example: software.msi INSTALLTYPE=variant1 should install in PROGRAMFILES\Software_Variant1 software.msi INSTALLTYPE=variant2 should install in P...

Hi, I have a package that needs to launch an exe from the installation target folder after installation. The exe registers some program modules and such and snapshoting the registry by a "repackaging project" was not successful for some reason. So I decided to use a custom action instead, ...

I just discovered th...
