Hello All,

I have a question, i need to create some registry keys on a machine before a major upgrade occurs. Is it possible do this in a Custom Action which occurs before installExecute?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

mumbles76

We write some registry values via a powershell custom action. We also have a delete registry entries on uninstall custom action.

That delete registry entries custom action was still running on major upgrades with your condition.

I'm going to try

Code: Select all

( Installed AND ( REMOVE = "ALL" OR AI_INSTALL_MODE = "Remove" ) AND NOT OLDPRODUCTS )

mumbles76

It did not.

Hello All

(Installed AND ( REMOVE = "ALL" OR AI_INSTALL_MODE = "Remove" ))

Is this the best condition to use when removing a program from add/remove programs? Not NOT to execute on major upgrades?

mumbles76

Nevermind, QA error. Thanks though!

mumbles76

We have that checkbox checked. I'm going to do some further investigation and see why that isn't working. But are there any troubleshooting tips or things i should look for in the log file?

Hello All,

Is there a way to have the installer, after major upgrade, remember the installation location of the original install?

We have an installer that is experiencing issues on upgrade. Please advise TIA.

Hello All,

Is there a way within a powershell custom action to write to the install log?

I hadn't thought about writing directly to the install log until recently when trying to debug a particular scenario.

TIA.

One extra thing to consider is if you are deploying to systems without internet connection. Some of the 1st-tier certificate providers (Verisign, Thawte) will have their root CA certificates in windows by default. Without having to run windows update to get updated Root CA certs. We used a 3rd-tier ...

Indeed it did. Thank you.
