In doing some further research, I was able to find this thread: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8146 That suggests using the method shown on this page: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-32-64-bit-registry.html While this is currently working for me, I'm wonderi...

Hello, I currently have a multi-language installer in which the user chooses their install language as the first step. After the user chooses their install language, I would like to set a registry value based off their selection, as my program reads the registry to know what language it should displ...

I am creating an installer that will get updates. This installer has 4 builds: DEV, TEST, STAGE, PROD. In order to maintain 1 single installer that can point to 4 different URLs (DEV url, TEST url, etc..) for updates. This is done by making a property called "UpdatesURL" and for each build...

Hello, I am wondering if there is a property that I can reference that will expose the language the build is currently being built/run in. Currently, I am translating an installer from English into Chinese. In the future it is expected to expand to other languages as well. In our installer, we have ...

Daniel, When I run the command: Updater.exe /set loglevel "Error|Debug" I get no command line output from the updater to indicate either success or failure. I am also unable to see any logs output in the download location. I'm looking in the downloads folder that's specified in the "C...

I am using AI version 14.7. I have been trying to make an update for my program and have been running into an interesting issue. When I run the updater to check for an update, it sees that I have an update on the server and does the download, then I see a quick flash of text that says "Checking...

Hello, I am wondering where the value for the updates frequency check is stored in updater.exe. In this thread: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34128 it is mentioned that in the updater.ini file, there is a "CheckFrequency" line. However, my updater.ini doesn't hav...

Hello, We are signing our program with a EV code signing certificate from DigiCert. This certificate lives on a different server from where the AI build runs. I have 2 questions: First, I am wondering if the following scenario will produce any issues: After I finish my Visual Studio build, I transfe...

Hello, I am trying to configure AI to detect if a particular driver is installed, and if it isn't run a custom action to install it. I am doing the detection with a powershell script, and that works fine. However, I followed the instructions here: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-execu...

Eusebiu, Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to better understand your first suggestion, looking into properties seems to be promising, but I'm wondering 2 things: 1. Is there a way to swap out the values of both the Pre-install updates as well as the updates configuration file URL's at build time base...

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the pointers on what to do, it was a help. The solution you posted does indeed help, and it worked for me. For my last question related to this, I am wondering about the installation of drivers using the drivers page. I have done some research and contacted the support team and...

It would be very nice if AI could support having updater options be available per build. For example, I currently maintain 4 separate AI projects with the only difference between the 4 of them being the location that is pointed to for updates. This is so I can maintain a DEV/TEST/STAGE/PROD versions...

Hello, I am looking into the other workaround mentioned as well, I'm trying to find the best solution of my available options. I was wondering about the vbs script option. I tried to add that code and change bat.bat to the name of my script, however, I get an error message saying the script failed t...

karlf

Thank you for the response. I have decided to go with the workaround provided, of just running the entire installation as administrator. That seems to work for now
