That would do. I would assume that the list could be sorted by that column (as all columns currently are), so that files for each build would be grouped together. A further enhancement that would be helpful, especially for large projects with multiple builds, would be to be able also to filter the ...

I have a Visual Studio 2013 solution that includes an Advanced Installer VS project (.aiproj) that links to an Advanced Installer project (.aip). Everything works fine when I build the solution from the Visual Studio GUI. I am trying to set this up for automated builds, so have been trying to build ...

Actually, I had previously found (and forgotten about) another method that seemed to be more what I wanted. This involves selecting the file in the the Files and Folders page and selecting Properties from its context menu. In the resulting Edit File dialog, select Edit Source Path Per Build... . The ...

I want to create an installer with debug and release builds, using the corresponding debug and release files produced by Visual Studio. This would appear to require including two files with the same name but different paths. AI does not appear to allow this, complaining that the filename already ...

In light of your email, I see my error. I had overlooked the implications of the part about resolution of feature states in the Paths Resolution action. Moving my script to execute before Paths Resolution did resolve the issue.
As a side note, I had been able to make the install work as desired by ...

I have an install that contains some files that are bitness-specific (and tied to the bitness of the installed version of Excel). I have a custom action to set a property for the Excel bitness. I would like to only install the appropriate ones for the install. I have 32-bit and 64-bit features, with ...

As mentioned in the other thread [Launch attached file (.exe) with dependencies], adding the config file as a temporary file and calling an attached file does not work. In order for .NET CLR to recognize the config file it must have the same name as the base file, adding a .config extension: myFile ...

I have tried including the DLL and config files as temporary files, but when I try to add a Call function from installed native DLL action, the files are not in the list to be selected. I have tried moving them to the Application Folder , but they are still not available. Are the files available for ...

If a custom action is to Launch an attached file or Call function from attached native DLL , and that file has an associated config file in the source, could the installer attach the files as a pair? This would fix possible run-time conflicts. If more detail is needed, I would be happy to provide it.

I built a dll using the WiX toolset that I would like to use the Call function from attached native DLL option on. However, the Wix toolset includes files built on the 2.0.50727 runtime. I need to build on the 4.0 runtime, but when the dll loads, it loads the 2.0 runtime, then fails to finish ...

I am using a custom action, Call function from attached native DLL . In the Properties section, there is an Edit... button. When this is clicked, an Edit Custom Action Parameters dialog appears. I insert a reference to an installation file, and the change appears in the Function: field. Since this ...

OK. That was not clear, since I was unaware of the Add-in Express tool.
Thanks for the clarification. It might help others like me to mention that in the help docs.

Under "How to install an Express Office Add-In," it talks about custom actions using adxregistrator.exe. What is this? Is it something that is supposed to exist already? Where does it come from? I was unable to find it on my machine. Am I missing something?
