Hello,

I've just got stuck on this where builds were failing silently - it turns out after upgrading to v23.1 that the output and notifications window has disappeared and there was no way to get them back.

The solution was to rename the following registry key and restart AdvancedInstaller - and ...

FYI hacking the .aip file with Notepad and setting the name manually seems fine so looks like a user interface bug.

Looks like a new bug has been introduced in the last few versions.

We use schema versions for our database updates which apply incrementally - however we're no longer able to use a number for the script name - for example 2048.sql this shows the error "Your input has been filtered because it ...

Hello,

We've updated all of our dialogs to a new style in AdvancedInstaller and got rid of all the old dated fonts.

However we've found when the installer runs in /qb quiet basic mode it shows a dialog we can't find in the dialogs section and the label isn't big enough and the tails of the fonts ...

Hello,

There seems to be a bug on running custom actions on ExitDlg

1. Create a new project
2. Create an open URL action to http://www.example.com
3. Add a push button to ExitDlg and a published event to execute the custom action
4. In builds set the output to a single .exe with the files inside ...

The issue is back in AdvancedInstaller 21.0.1.

Our installer is digitally signed with a third party code signing certificate
The issue is new in the latest release
Only one of our installers is affected
We are seeing the issue on 2 x Windows Server 2022 machines

Hello,

So I think that would solve the issue... BUT... only if they install SQL or run the repair as the same user because your prerequisites are copied and run from:

[AppDataFolder][|Manufacturer]\[|ProductName]\prerequisites

You can specify another folder but you can't specify APPDIR - I ...

Hello,

I have created a sample project:
https://www.centrel-solutions.com/temp/project.zip

1. It doesn't matter whether you use Project A (pre-install) or Project B (Feature-based) they both install the SQL Server 17 ODBC driver.

2. Check that the ODBC driver is installed

Hello,

We are installing the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server as a prerequisite however we have a problem.

If the user then tries to uninstall the ODBC driver (or upgrades SQL Server on that machine) the system tries to uninstall the ODBC driver - however because the prerequisites in ...

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure that the feature you mention is the tools, or whether it's the actual DFS namespaces feature.

Either way the Features section isn't really fit for purpose anymore - it's really hard to use and it's inconsistent between server operating systems and desktop ...

davidjhomer

Hello,

I'm trying to install the DFS Management Tools Windows feature but finding things in the Windows Features Prerequisites in Advanced Installer has become all but impossible.

The user interface doesn't match the Windows Server interface any more. It seems to be a mixture of DISM naming ...

davidjhomer

Yes that works thanks!

I was trying "NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE" which works for English language but does not work for non-English.

It would be good to have this in the AdvancedInstaller documentation as I was also trying to use the built in properties [DOMAIN_NT_AUTHORITY]\[USR_LOCAL_SERVICE ...

davidjhomer

When you install a service using Advanced installer and want to use the NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE account you can enter this name and it works correctly however this is not possible in foreign languages - for example below on a French server.

Option 1: AUTORITE NT\SERVICE LOCAL
If you enter the ...

davidjhomer

Excellent thanks for letting me know.
