Re: Advanced Installer Predictable Directory
That is working great so thank you again. As long as we are on the subject....

Re: Advanced Installer Predictable Directory
Ok but that starts it in a separate process and doesn't wait for it to complete. The script is intended to build the installers and then copy them to a single location. If I use that then it's trying to copy before the build is done and doesn't work...

Re: Advanced Installer Predictable Directory
Ok so additional question on this after trying it. I was able to get the environment variable and update. Here is my PowerShell code:
$installerPath = $env:ADVINST_COM
for ($year = 2023; $year -le 2026; $year++) {
& $installerPath /rebuild "*my relative path*"
}
When I run this, it gives me ...

& $installerPath /rebuild "*my relative path*"
}

Advanced Installer Predictable Directory
Hi All,
This is a request for AI itself, not the installers it builds. I apologize if it already exists and I missed it but I looked and haven't been able to find it.
I have several scripts set up to build a group of installers that we have using PowerShell. It really just loops through all the ...

Installer automatically cancels?
I have an installer build with AI 22. It seems to work fine but I have one user having trouble. For this user, they select their options and then press 'Install'. It then gives them the "Do you want to run this file" dialog which they select 'Run' and then gives UAC which they accept, and then it ...

Prerequisite for any build of .NET 8?
My question is if there is a way to have a prerequisite for ANY version of .NET 8 to be installed rather than a specific build. My quandary is that I have an application that is an addin to another application, but also has a way to install and run outside of the parent. If the parent is installed ...

Silent Install can't be uninstalled
I had a user point out to me that they were unable to uninstall the application after using silent install. I tried it and I'm able to reproduce this as well. It doesn't seem that the installer is getting copied to the location for uninstall. When you install via command line with silent switches i ...

More consistent install location
Would it be possible to set the install location to something that is not version dependent? Possibly as an optional parameter or something? Currently the install path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer *version*\bin\x86\advinst.exe" and it seems like new versions or point ...

Re: Text File Ensure Line Occurs Once
For anyone else that comes across this I was able to get this working by doing the modifications inside the action itself, I just needed to run the action as deferred and with full permissions because it was modifying files under Program Files.

Re: Text File Ensure Line Occurs Once
Ok thank you. If I'm doing a custom action, though, should I just make the text update inside the custom action?

Text File Ensure Line Occurs Once
I am trying to update a text file through the installer but with a slight twist. I need to ensure that the file exists and that a line exists, but exists only once. End user machines may or may not have the file, and if they do the line may or may not exist. If I do an append it will add it to the ...
