Re: Project opens with the wrong custom action order
Hello Catalin,
Thanks for the response.
This issue occurs both with our current installer project and a new test project I created to test this issue. After some further testing it appears this issue only occurs when the custom actions are placed at the end of the wizard dialogs stage. Putting ...

Project opens with the wrong custom action order
Hello,
I found a bug that occurs when opening a project with more than 20 custom actions in the wizard dialogs stage. An easy way to reproduce this is to create a project containing more than 20 custom actions (any kind, I just copy pasted a 'Set Installer Property' custom action) in the wizard ...

Re: Appending timestamp to the log file.
Hello,
Thanks for the information! I never would have thought to use the exit dialog to achieve this goal. This solved our problem and will allow us to retain our log files.
Thanks again,
Logan

Re: Appending timestamp to the log file.
Thanks Catalin,
I figured this would be the case, and I am aware that the date and time is shown in the log file. The reason we wanted to put it in the filename is that we have had a couple instances of installs encountering errors, and then when the installer is run again it wipes out the log file ...

Appending timestamp to the log file.
Hello,
We are currently using the Bootstrapper Options MSI Command line to create a verbose log file at a custom location eg. /L*V "[WindowsVolume]Temp\Installer.log". Is there any way that we can append a timestamp to the end of this filename so the filename would be something like Installer-2018 ...

Re: Installation cancelling itself without user interaction
Hello Daniel,
The setup that encountered the issue was running on machines with internet connection. I tried running the setup on a few test machines with no internet connection and it seems to work fine.
Are there any other possible causes that we could check?
Thanks,
Logan

Re: Installation cancelling itself without user interaction
After building our installer with the most recent version of Advanced Installer (14.2) we are still encountering this issue. We are using Advanced Installer to sign the installer files and have verified that the digital signatures are trusted. The installer pops the cancel dialog right before the ...

Hello,

Preparing backup operation
It seems like the action AI_AIBackupImmediate takes a long time on most computers, and since I could not find what it does online I just wanted to know what exactly this does. Since I'm not sure what it does I do not want to disable it, but if I could that would be great as this takes up the ...

Also, for future reference, at what point during the installation is the old package uninstalled?

Issue with temporary files when upgrading
My issue is that when upgrading an older version of my product, the temporary files I have in my installer are removed when the old version of my product is uninstalled. It seems like because the two installer share the same temp files, they are removed when the uninstall is run. I was able to work ...

File overwrite behavior
Just a quick question for future reference, how does the overwrite option on the file (file operations) and the overwrite option for the component (organization page) interact? Does one override the other or how do they affect each other?
Thanks in advance,
Logan
Thanks in advance,
