I have a merge module with a service, and I'm lacking the possibility to set up an "Uninstall Cleanup Wizard" to order all files removed on uninstall. I saw a very old and sort of similar post: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27799 but it doesn't solve my problem a...

For some reason, it is not possible to define uninstall behavior for a folder using the Uninstall Cleanup Wizard for a merge module. I can see, that others have had a similar problem, and a quite cumbersome "workaround" has been presented: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic...

I have a service in a merge module. In my products Product A and Product B, I want to add that merge module, and ensure, that the service it installs is the newest version, and that it is only ever uninstalled if both Product A and Product B are uninstalled. Is that possible? The only idea I had was...

We have a build server, which runs MSBuild on a solution containing our AIP project. On the dev. machine, we use assembly version 1.0.0.0, but the build server will change that to something else, ex: 23.1.0.<build>. That way, we can easibly identify a file, if it comes from a dev machine, or a build...

I have a property, where the default value must be the windows PC name. I saw something about using "ComputerName", but that doesn't seem to work. Edit: I tried using [%COMPUTERNAME], as that supposedly should be the environment variable %COMPUTERNAME%. Alas, it is then set to the computer...

I noticed to my dismay, that when I build my visual studio solution containing an aiproj, MSBuild seems to just skip that. What is needed to make sure my aip/aiproj will be built also? Or do I need to have a command line on my build server that runs AI and builds the aip? I'm sure it's just me doing...

I changed it to an exe with "Run as administrator" and that made me fare slightly better - when I install with full UI, it works. However, I still can't install from the command prompt - elevated or not.

Our customer would like to roll out the installation automatically.

I have an AI project with a prerequisite MSI. I run that MSI with parameters /qn to run it silently. When I start my installer from an elevated command prompt, it works fine, but the prerequisite can't request elevation on its own. I then try from my elevated command prompt to run my AI project's MS...

Thanks for the fast response. Seems like we'll have to consider upgrading to the next tier then. I have added my AIP as a project in Visual Studio. At the moment, our build server seems to build the aip just fine when it runs MSBuild - there is no Advanced Installer on our build server. Will that ch...

Yes, I know I can do something by myself afterwards, but I think that was not the intention. I think it renders the "Pro" (I think it should possibly have been named "Basic" or "Very Basic") more or less unusable. But I didn't get an aswer to my real question: If I crea...

I discovered to my dismay, that a Pro license lacks a feature I assume most people would want: being able to generate app.config files (XML). It suggested I could upgrade to Enterprise (timebombed) which I suppose is all fine and well...but what happens when the trial runs out? Will I then no longer...

Can I create a ProgramData (sub) folder and configure it so all files created there are editable by all users (and not just the user who created it)? We need an editable config file there in a folder %PROGRAMDATA%\MyCompany\Config\ and also a %PROGRAMDATA%\MyCompany\Logs folder where a user might co...

i kept the product code in the hope that I would update the executable path rather than have to get rid of an old service manually.

I have added the previous aip.

I noticed things in services.msc yes.

Sorry for the late answer.

We recently changed the name of the executable in one of our services, but when upgrading, the service's executable path still points to the old exe file. It works fine when installing for the first time on a new machine, though. We're supposed to point to "Logis.VCP.Server.exe" instead of...
