Hello- I need to author an installer that appends data to an existing REG_BINARY registry key that a prior installer has created. Does anyone know if Advanced Installer has a mechanism to help with this or do I need to script something? I see the ability in the "Edit Registry Entry" dialog...

Awesome- thanks so much! I do want Radio buttons- the user has to select which "platform" for which they're installing the files, and it can be only one. It is really cool that there is a bit of "Intellisense" or something like that- I wasn't sure what the condition would be for ...

Thanks Catalin for your help. I've added OptionalFeatsDlg to my project. In the provided example I can't figure out how to add additional entries to the Quick Selection List. I see the button with the three dots next to "Text" in the Properties window. Then a dialog labeled "Edit Cont...

Hello- I am wanting to create an install kit that displays to the user a screen that lets them select via a set of radio buttons one set of files from a selection of four possibilities. Then the set of files that are installed will be based on which radio button entry they selected. Might there be a...

This seems to be a reliable key for the last several versions of Office to determine bitness:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration

Ah, I figured out it wasn't a permissions issue after all. My installer is 32 bit and I haven't checked the 64 bit Powershell scrip checkbox in the custom action. This line of powershell script $regkey_value = (Get-ItemProperty -path 'HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration').Platfor...

Hello- I believe I have some sort of a permissions issue when running a powershell script. Not certain... For my script, two lines are: $regkey_value = (Get-ItemProperty -path 'HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration').Platform Out-File -FilePath $AccessPSLog -Append -InputObject &qu...

Hello- I've been busy with a couple of upcoming releases and have not had a chance to test recent Advanced Installer builds until now. I'm still finding the "bad" behavior with 15.6 where it seems that custom actions begin before the prior ones (marked "Wait for custom action to finis...

Hi all- I need to copy in one version of an Access .mdb file if 32 bit Office is installed and another version of a .mdb file if 64 bit Office is installed. There are VBA macro differences between the two files for the two bitnesses. Anyone know how I can determine what bitness of Office is installe...

FYI: My problems did indeed go away after downgrading to 15.1.

LrngToFly

I'm also seeing timing issues of my custom actions- ones which rely on the prior ones being finished are now having errors, even though I have "wait for custom action to finish before proceeding" checked. I'm downgrading to 15.1 based on the original poster's post. I'm out on vacation unti...

I am seeing this issue too with 15.2. I just jumped up from 14.8 to 15.2- so not sure exactly which version the behavior changed. Thanks.

LrngToFly

Yes, this works. Thanks for your help!

LrngToFly

So to be concise, this should work, correct?

REMOVE="ALL" AND UNINSTALLDRV="IDYES"

I have the quotes correct?

Hello! Thanks in advance for your help...! I have two custom actions in my installer for uninstall. The first is a Display Message Box with a Yes/No question. I have the Output property set to "UNINSTALLDRV". If the user selected the Yes button, in the 2nd custom action I want to run a scr...
