Re: Silent software updates

Pablo, this thread is over 4 years old, I imagine the H&M software has probably changed quite a lot in this time.. You would be better off starting a new thread and describing your specific issue.

Re: Workflow Question - Best way to keep track of AI project updates?

Hello Andre,

First of all, I apologize for the delayed reply.


No worries, this is an open-ended question anyway, there won't be only one correct answer.. :)

I think that, given your scenario, you may find useful having a look over our "Working with Synchronized Folders" article.


I believe ...

Re: Workflow Question - Best way to keep track of AI project updates?

Just adding a little bit to the context of this question, the other part of AI that confuses me slightly is the prompt that comes up when I update the product version number. I haven't quite wrapped my head around creating patch installers, so I tend to generate a new product code and build a full ...

Workflow Question - Best way to keep track of AI project updates?

I believe the points I'm looking into here are slightly outside the scope of the Advanced Installer program itself, but I'm hoping to get a few ideas on how best to handle this from other members who deal with similar scenarios.. I work with a small team of devs, building apps on various platforms ...

Re: Can I have conditional JVM Parameters in my setup?

Thanks again Daniel, I managed to get this working perfectly using the custom action you described. :)

Re: Can I have conditional JVM Parameters in my setup?

Ah... I didn't think to try the Custom Actions route. From some of the options I saw, it looked as though I could achieve this through the "Published Events" in the Dialogs page.

We've been migrating a number of (badly written) Java programs from one server to another this week, so I haven't had a ...

Re: Can I have conditional JVM Parameters in my setup?

I've tried using a property in the "Install Parameters" page to store the string I need to conditionally add to the runtime parameters, thinking I could use the current checkbox state to change it's value between a single space (because it can't be an empty string) and the "pdfonly" string that I ...

Can I have conditional JVM Parameters in my setup?

I've got a setup package for a Java desktop app that uses a single JVM parameter to control some of the runtime logic, but now that we're moving the app from batch file launching to an AI project, I'm battling to work out how to control this from the setup wizard...

I have confirmed that having ...

Re: Any recommendations for distributing "Release Candidate" packages?

Also please take a look on this article: How do I remove the old version when using the fourth field of the Product Version?

Hmm, have I perhaps missed something with what AI allows us to do with versions..? I can't say I remember reading that exact FAQ entry before, but the description there ...

Any recommendations for distributing "Release Candidate" packages?

Greetings, one and all.. :)

This may be a bit of a strange question, but I'm not sure if what I'm asking is actually even valid or not.. So let's start with a different question: Do any of you create setup packages for release candidate software builds?

To clarify: Where I work, nobody from ...

Re: Java application won't run as a service on Windows Server 2003

In the interest of not leaving this thread unanswered: it seems this may quite possibly be an incompatibility with our application and the Windows Server environment. Even though I'm not sure how or why, when I tested this with a simple "endless loop" Java method installed as a service through AI ...

Re: Custom action (run batch file) doesn't execute correctly from setup package

So, can you please uncheck the "Run as administrator" option for your custom action and see if it works?

Disabling this option for the custom action itself (no other changes from the file I sent) still doesn't update the file and results in the following log output:

Action 09:22:22 ...

Re: Custom action (run batch file) doesn't execute correctly from setup package

Thanks for the info.. I didn't actually have the "Run as Administrator" option checked when I first created these custom actions, but I did change a number of different settings trying to get it to work. I'd also like to create a new project with only this custom script and see if that makes any ...

Re: Service with created user cannot be started

Sorry if this is a silly question, since I haven't ever tried this sort of installation setup myself, I may very well be missing something here..

But just out of curiosity, would it not be easier to just disable the "Register product with Windows Installer" option in the prerequisite project that ...
