Thanks, I didn't see anything in the help documentation about this. I tried adding a 2nd project, but got a "Duplicate project ID not allowed" error. The 2nd project was made as a copy of the first one with different prerequisites (one of them embeds all the prerequisites in the installer ...

I see in the recent 19.6 release that you can now create a solution to link multiple projects together. However, I don't see where I can do this? The only information I've seen in the Help documentation is details about the Edit Solution Options dialog, but no information on where to find it. I'm ru...

Sorry, I just read the reply in more detail. In my latest installer, I added the .NET 4.8 prerequisite, but I chose to download and include it in my installer rather than download it at install time. I don't recall seeing the notification at the bottom, but I may have missed it.

Also, while I do have prerequisites in my installer, none of them require internet access. This is intended to be a fully offline installer.

I've had this same issue occasionally over the years, and it just happened to me again today. It always seems to happen when I install a new version of AI (I just upgraded from AI 18.8.1 to 19.1 prior to building my most recent installer), although it doesn't happen every time I upgrade. Perhaps onl...

I've tried at least 2 separate projects, both give me the same error.

Hello, I tried importing a Visual Studio Setup Project (made in VS2010, see attached) using AI 15.7 and received the following error message: "The application ran into a problem that it couldn't handle. Sorry for the inconvenience." If I click the Back button to select the project type, th...

Do you have any other suggestions regarding my last update? My deadline for delivering this application is approaching.

Daniel, Thanks for the tips, that got me most of the way there. However, I want to make sure the I don't append the same value to the registry entry multiple times if the user uninstalls and reinstalls the application. I wanted to set a condition of the Registry entry component of NOT ( REG_SEARCH ~...

Hello, I have an existing REG_EXPAND_SZ registry key that I want to add a new path to. However, the Edit Registry Entry dialog only lets me select "Append to existing value" for REG_SZ and REG_MULTI_SZ. How can I append to a REG_EXPAND_SZ, or is there a reason I should not be allowed to do...

Hello, If my installer is unable to download any of its prerequisites, I get an "Error 1001" dialog and the installer aborts with "Setup ended prematurely because of an error." This appears to be the case since AI 13.5, and is still an issue with AI 14.0.1. My prerequisite is set...

Hello, In the "Supported windows Versions" section of the prerequisite "Install Conditions", Windows 10 does not list any of it's later updates (November Update, Anniversary Update, Creators Update). Will these later updates to Windows 10 be listed in the Supported Windows Versio...

Is there any estimate on when .Net 4.7 will be available as a Predefined Prerequisite?

In the case of Windows 7 SP1, will the DirectX Components for WPF KB4019990 be available as a prerequisite as well (see Microsoft's general availability announcement)?

Thanks,

Brandon

Thanks for the guidance. I wasn't actually planning to do this, I just wanted to see if it made a difference in this case. I have another feature-based prerequisite in my actual installer, and I wanted to see if I would run into any issues if it failed. This was just a quicker test to do.

Yes, moving the Vista Platform Update prerequisite after the .NET 4.6.2 prerequisite appears to fix the issue.

It also seems to work if I move NET 4.6.2 to a Feature-based prerequisite, while keeping the Vista Platform Update as a Pre-install prerequisite.
