Hello Henrique, Fist of all, please accept my apologies for the delayed reply. Have to admit that this is quite the troublesome corner case. :D To be honest the only workaround I can think of is perhaps not having the prerequisites in the APPDIR and have them installed in their own folders. Hope thi...

Hello Alvin, Managing a patch using the updater is very similar to managing a major upgrade. Here's the "Managing a patch" section of our Updater tutorial. Do i need update.exe and update.ini file for the auto update? The answer here is yes. Since I am going to utilize remote server, do I ...

Hello,

In order to uninstall the EXE through command line, the correct command is the following:

Code: Select all

setup.exe /x //

Basically we are telling the bootstrapper to pass the /x to MSI. The log command is optional.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Hello and welcome to our forums,

If you did not change the version and ProductCode, then the MSI should enter Maintenance Mode automatically.

Hello,

Upon further discussing this with my team, it looks like what you want to achieve should be possible.

However, please make sure you are calling AdvancedInstaller.com (not .exe) in your scripts.

Hello,

Hello, First of all, please accept my apologies for such a delayed reply (we had some days off here due to the Orthodox Easter). Wow, this is really mind boggling, indeed. Are you able to reproduce this constantly on clean machines as well? If so, do you think you can create a sample project that re...

Hello, Please accept my apologies for the delayed reply - we had some days off here due to Orthodox Easter. What I'm saying is that the signtool is at fault here. Advanced Installer uses it to sign your files. If you manually use signtool (outside of Advanced Installer) to sign the MSI and receive t...

Hello, You are always welcome! If I'm right with PS2EXE workaround, I cannot use setting MSI properties through the PS script, right? To be quite honest with you, I am not sure whether this is possible or not as I've never tested it this way. I would assume you are right as the "Run PowerShell ...

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, Since you are not allowed to use Advanced Installer, I am not quite sure how I could assist you here. Perhaps this is what you are looking for if you are not allowed to use 3rd party products: Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension and .NET Best re...

Hello and welcome to our forums, Please allow me some more time to discuss this with my team and I will followup as soon as I will have a conclusive answer. When logging into the machine, do you perhaps see any prompts related to Advanced Installer that require manual intervention? Best regards, Cat...

Hello and welcome to our forums, If possible, could you please let me know how you did call the functions in InnoSetup so I can see whether we have a similar support or not? In the past, I have written the following article which explains how one can use PowerShell to call Windows API functions: Use...

Hello, From what I can see in the email thread, we weren't able to reproduce any of the above customer's issues and, as a last resort, my colleague asked if the customer can reproduce the issue on a VM that he could perhaps share with us as that was the only way forward. The customer did not reply t...

Hello and welcome to our forums, Someone installing it in GMT +6 the time of the files should be converted to 8PM as local time right?? Unfortunately not. This might indeed be a limitation if Windows Installer that I'm afraid we can not do much about. I would advise not relying much on timestamps as...
