Hello Catalin, Here are the steps I took in creating the project that I sent in my original post. 1. Create the project by using the following command "C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 16.0\bin\x86\AdvancedInstaller.com" /newproject "C:\TestProject.aip" -type win...

Hello, I am working with a Windows CE project to create a cab file for distributing our software on WinCE devices. I am using version 16.0 of Advanced Installer for this project. I have run into an issue that prevents me from opening the 'Files and Folders' section of the Advanced Installer editor. ...

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 them ...

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 dial...

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

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 ...

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 Instal...

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

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 in...

Hello, After building our installer with the enhanced UI enabled we encountered an issue where some of the properties we set in the user selection dialogs are not actually set at the end of the install. I have attached a small test project that can be used to reproduce the issue. When the enhanced U...

Have there been any updates on this particular issue? We are encountering the same behavior in our installer.

Thanks,

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 majorit...

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

Thanks,

Logan

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 ...

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
