Installer not working for 1 user

We have an installer which just one customer is unable to run. The user had an earlier version of the same product which was installed successfully. After removing the old version, the new version does not install. On investigation, the old version seemed not to have uninstalled properly so the user...

Broken Microsoft download links

I have discovered specifically in AI 14.4.2 and 17.3 that the following 4 download links are broken: - SQL Server Native Client 2012 SP3 x64 https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/6/1/3610D28C-D02D-4663-A850-CB77A24A5361/ENU/x64/sqlncli.msi SQL Server Native Client 2012 SP3 x86 https://download.m...

Extended Validation Certificates and remote building

We build our installers nightly on a remote server and we are looking to use an Extended Validation certificate. From reading various discussions on the internet it looks to me like we have to have a USB device plugged in during the build and somebody has to enter the token password at least one. I ...

AI_AiBackupImmediate failing using AI 14.4.2

Hi, As far as I can tell AI_AiBackupImmediate is failing during a product upgrade at the point where it is taking a backup before removing the previous installation of the same product. This is happening for only one customer and I need to find a way around the problem. I am attaching the verbose lo...

Re: AVG 13.0.0 reports trojan in installer

For the record I contacted AVG and they confirmed there was no virus and corrected their DB in a new update and now the builds are working again

Re: AVG 13.0.0 reports trojan in installer

I have a video that shows that after removing ExternalUI.exe a repair results in AVG immediately flagging the file.

The zipped AVI is 43MB, too large to attach.

Re: AVG 13.0.0 reports trojan in installer

This problem persists and is causing disruption to our business.
Are Caphyon looking into this problem?

Re: AVG 13.0.0 reports trojan in installer

This is getting stranger. Maybe it is an AVG bug. When Windows Explorer has the folder open that contains the ExternalsUI.exe then AVG immediately reports it and removes it. However if Windows Explorer is not viewing the file and I scan the file then AVG says it is fine but as soon as I open the fol...

Re: AVG 13.0.0 reports trojan in installer

From VirusTotal FAQs A given antivirus in VirusTotal detects a file and its equivalent commercial version does not VirusTotal antivirus solutions sometimes are not exactly the same as the public commercial versions.

Re: AVG 13.0.0 reports trojan in installer

I would suggest that VirusTotal is not using the latest version of AVG as AVG is definitely rejecting the file every time I repair the installation. The problem is not limited to our build server or to only new builds. One of our managers uses the latest AVG and reports that it started to reject ins...

Re: AVG 13.0.0 reports trojan in installer

I performed a scan of all contents of Program Files use AVG with latest updates. AVG reported the same trojan in a Caphyon file ExternalUI.exe. I guess this is included in the installer and so throws the same false positive. I repaired AI 13.6 installation and immediately AVG reported the same probl...

AVG 13.0.0 reports trojan in installer

2 days ago we upgraded AVG to 13.0.0. Since then the output from Advanced Installer 13.6 has been reported by AVG as carrying 'Trojan horse SCGeneric1.CORO'. No other changes occurred on the server. We clearly have to ensure our installers are clean so we cannot simply exclude the file from AVG. Can...

Re: Suggestions for predefined prerequisites

I would like AccessRuntime 2016 x86 and x64 added to the prerequisites.

If anybody knows the static download links for these it would be useful in the short term until they are added to AI

Re: Chained prequisites not allowed from/to repository

On further investigation I see that the prerequisites repository is not what I thought it was. It stores an aip file describing the prerequisite but not the msi file itself. What I'm after is a relocatable store of the chained MSI files so I can build the same installer on 2 PCs with different folde...
