Ok, thankyou, I can do that. But it is easy enough to do as you say. At least I know the behaviour is related to a corrupted registry key.

I waited 10 minutes and gave up ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$
I will send you the reg key but it is unremarkable.

Hi Folks.

I am trying to add a new registry key but this little wait box simply spins on forever. Never completes:

It is part laziness on our side - no question. But because most of your other file pickers update related controls, you just expect it. But in this case I typed in the executable name some months ago. Since then my dev team changed the executable name for install. The folder sync and pickers in all ...

Hello Dan. That wasn't my point. When I choose the file for the version it correctly fills the version number box but NOT the file name box. This is the problem. It has a file picker which is disabled. More to the point, you should be forcing us to select from the files to be installed because after...

Ok, all cool. Thanks.
I will look forward to this ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$

GSchaller

Actually no - it isn't :( Well the version number is correct but the file name is not. I didn't notice this before but the file path is not selectable via the ellipsis button but it is in the expected value box. So when we look up and choose the executable to select the version number, it does not u...

GSchaller

Yes - the version is correct on the target machine and it matches exactly the value expected.

Is there any way to control where the backup is created? At the moment it goes into the same folder as the aip file being edited but with over 50 aip files, this is becoming a nightmare with all the versions. Is there some way to control this?

Hi Folks. I have attached AIP files but I thought you might have some pointers for me first. I have a very simple installer and updater pair for all my installed apps. Most work perfectly. Change the version, rebuild, target sites detects the version increment, downloads the file and installs. Hit t...

I'm all good now. Didn't realise how it would choose the Visual Solution project correctly but I am full bottle now.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Folks, I am looking for some advice on how to construct Outlook and Word add-ins as MSIs. I've followed the wizard to the point where it asks you to point to "resources" but it never finds files of the "type" that match. But I don't know what "type" of files it is lo...

Ok, after I rebuilt my Advanced Installer environment, it is all ok now.
Sorry to bother you.

Hi Dan, Yes, the lookup just fails. The UI accepts the URL (of course) but at runtime it just fails. The syntax I was using was: ftp://www.softwareobjectives.com.au/Anonymous/Installers/Craftsman/Craftsman.msi I have placed a file there (it is public) and in a regular browser the download occurs but...

Hello. We currently use an HTTP site to host our updates and this has worked well for several years. However now that public resource needs to be closed and I would prefer to use FTP. It is simple, safe and secure but not allowed by your updater. It specified http only. Are there any plans to change...
