Setting permitions for different language versions of Windows fails
Hello everyone, I have an Advanced Installer project that works just fine on an English installation of Windows Server 2012 R2. Among other things, it adds permissions to the Installation Paths so our services can access it. Ideally, I would like to add permissions to "NetworkService", but...

IIS ~ Configuring ASP.NET .NET Error Pages
Hello everyone, my Advanced Installer project is coming along nicely. However, just now, I've run into something that I can't figure out how to do. During the installation, the installer correctly set ups an IIS web page, and that web page works just fine, running an ASP service. However, now I want...

Re: Advanced Installer Team City plugin ~ Build Step fails
Hi Daniel, by now, I managed to work out a solution. Apparently, there was still some sort of "Zombie File" in the work directory of the TeamCity build agent. What I believe happened is that the AdvancedInstaller build runner found that Zombie File, thought that the build had already compl...

Advanced Installer Team City plugin ~ Build Step fails
Hello everyone, this is a tricky problem, and I'm at my wit's end here. As of yesterday, one of our Team City builds using the Advanced Installer fails during the Advanced Installer step. It either runs infinitely long until it times out, or it out right crashes with the following error in the build...

Re: Installing Server Certificate from ThumbPrint fails
I managed to figure out what caused this issue. I had the right ThumbPrint (Hash), but the wrong System Store Name. By going to the IIS Server Management Studio on the target machine and selecting Server Certificates from the server features, I was able to find out the correct System Store Name. Aft...

Re: Renaming Custom Actions
Hi Sorin, I was able the reproduce and resolve the issue. Apparently, the custom actions can't have names with spaces in them. Using names without spaces worked for me. However, there is one exception: I was not able to name a custom action "InstallServices". I guess that is because that n...

Renaming Custom Actions
Hello everyone, I have an Advanced Installer project that uses a number of custom actions, such as "Run PowerShell Script File" and "Launch File" (to launch bat files). I would like to rename those steps since they're currently all called "LaunchFile", "LaunchFile_...

Hello everyone, I've come across a the following problem: I've manually modified a few apache server configuration files which were to be installed from my Advanced Installer Project. However, Advanced Installer does not recognize the files as changed for some reason, and I can't find a way to tell ...

Re: Windows Service Fails to start
I'm having the same issue with my project. However, none of the above steps helped me fix it. When running the installation file, the installer takes forever at the step "Starting Services" before eventually failing with the error message "Service 'XXX' (XXX.exe) failed to start. Veri...

Re: Uninstalling Patches
Hi Dan, thanks for the information. It's good to know how these things work. I've tried what you suggested, and it worked perfectly. The uninstaller is also nice touch, although for some reason, unlike the regular uninstallation routine, the uninstaller does not remove the folder the project was ins...

Uninstalling Patches
Hello everyone, I am just experimenting with patches. I've successfully created a project where the V1.0.0 installer installs two .txt files, and the V1.0.0 -> V1.0.1 patch changes one of the text files, leaves the second as it is, and adds a third one. However, after applying the patch, I can't uni...
