Hello installer team and community, for one of our customers, the MSI update installation failed. Reason was our "File Copy Operation". One specific file is always copied while installation (we backup a database this way) -- usually without problems. We followed this manual: https://www.ad...

Hallo Team, This is about Synchronized Folders (http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/folder-synchronize.html). We know, the files under "Files And Folders" are installed in some defined order. That order depends on the Sequence Number, and I assume all these files are installed whil...

Hello Community and Team, the above error stops our installation. And we know why: I've manually modified the Sequence Number of that file in the "File" table. (No, not just for fun. I set the Sequence Number up to 32000, to be sure the file is installed at last.) :?: Obviously, it is wron...

Thank you, Sorin.
We need a GUI and your second way seems simple and robust. We'll do that.

Warm Regards,

Hallo Team and Users, wen need a scheduled task that is started everytime a users logs on. This must work for all users on the machine. We tried these settings: (Screenshot) Result: The task is assigned only to the user running the installer. But not for other users. Could the task start for any use...

Hello Advancedinstaller, we use different searches on the Search Page. [img] search.png [/img] A Search is created quickly. And all the searches end up with some RESULT_PROPERTY. But to use the result, I often had a painful time with trial and error. I always wonder: - Is the result property a Strin...

Hello Community, This is an understanding question. According to: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/standard-actions.html the searches from the "Search page" run in both the Wizard Stage, as well as in Install Execution Stage - provided we run in UI mode. Is it correct that all s...

Hello Sorin, Sorry. I still can't see a satisfying solution. a) The "Terminate Process" action does not work since it stops processes by name only. Our process is "javaw.exe" - this is far too unspecific. b) The temporary files concept is great. I tested and it does nearly succee...

Hello Team and Users, In our MSI installer, we try to run that WMIC command early, before RemoveFiles happens: wmic Path win32_process Where "Caption Like '%%java%%.exe%%' AND CommandLine Like '%%OurProgramName%%'" Call Terminate The purpose is to kill instances of our software. Otherwise,...

We assume the user optimized the system with a 3rd party tool. The failure happened nowhere else, and we could not reproduce it. We successfully deinstalled with the Microsoft Uninstall Tool: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall (Link is from May 2017) Sorin, Thank you ver...

Hello Team and users, Is it possible that a project, by accident, depends on the downloaded MSI file ? One of our customers could not deinstall because the MSI was missing. The MSIEXEC log contains some interesting lines with "SOURCEMGMT", as shown below. Must we have done something terrib...

There is a command line switch /SetProductCode with --langid and optional --guid:

What is the syntax to set a guid for two languages -- or even for all languages ?

Many thanks,

It happened that our customers installation obviously was destroyed -- by the first machine reboot after the installation. Before reboot, it worked. It was an MSI based update installation. Two of the 4000 installed files got lost. Remarks: - The installation was repaired successfully from the Repai...

This is about browsing for a folder, as described here: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-browse-for-folder.html Example project: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/examples/browseforfolder.zip The problem: The browse dialog shows folders only. Why show files ? To select the right folder,...

That's what I did today. Goto Component (F8) revealed that the new variable was assigned automatically to the component "deployJava1.dll". This is some component inside the JRE bundle. 1. I wonder why this component was choosen. It seems arbitrary. 2. More important, what happens when the ...
