My current installer reproduces it consistently. I can certainly send you the log from that.
Since I have no idea which part of the Uninstall causes it (I don't know what "OnAiRemoveRegs" is), it would be very difficult for me to create a new, sample installer just to test.

Uninstall/Upgrade error on Win11
Testing my latest MSI installer on Windows 11 (built with the latest AI Pro version), I'm seeing consistent errors on an Uninstall or Upgrade. These appear to be AI functionality, not specific to my installer features. An "ugly" error message appears to the end-user and the log always contains ...

Re: Auto-Generate WinGet Manifest?
AFAIK, that is not a tool created by AI. It's a general tool created by MSFT.
If you had a tool, it would be able to look at the project's settings for URL and other values to automatically generate the necessary manifest (it would appear that all of the manifest required properties are in an AI ...

Re: Auto-Generate WinGet Manifest?
Are you recommending some kind of custom, post-build script?

Auto-Generate WinGet Manifest?
Is there a way to ask AI to generate a properly formatted, yaml manifest file for submission to MS "Package Manager" when building an installer?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Code signing failing -- SOLVED!
I am having a similar issue. However, even though I have installed the Yubikey "MiniDriver", I do not get any option to select the eToken Cryptographic Provider in AI 22.5 Professional.
I'm not sure how to proceed with signing my installer. Has anyone looked at this in the past year (since the last ...

Re: file associations on per-user install
Thank you very much for testing. I wonder when this feature/enhancement was added to the product?
Do you have an easy way to search release notes?
Thanks again!

Re: file associations on per-user install
Thank you for testing. The referenced link is, as mentioned, a few years old, but I didn't find any mention that this functionality was updated.

Re: file associations on per-user install
If you are an Administrator (or maybe even "Power User") on the PC, it will succeed. If you are only allowed to write to HKCU, it will likely fail.
To be clear, I did not try it yet, because that test will be difficult to setup other than using a Production/client-target PC, which I am reluctant to ...

file associations on per-user install
I saw in this thread that it wasn't available as of 7 years ago. I'm hoping this has changed and AI now allows us to perform file associations during a per-user/current-user install?

Re: MSI upgrade failing on .net installer custom action
Did you receive my v18.1 project and attempt to discern the differences from that? I'm still not clear as to why this new build works fine on install, but fails on upgrade. Since we are uninstalling the previous version first (per the AI package settings), shouldn't it behave the same at that point ...

Re: MSI upgrade failing on .net installer custom action
I can confirm that the simple project you sent does work as expected.
I am emailing you a previous version of our project (probably from 18.1).
Since the class library (and therefore class) is obviously present, the "Class not Found" makes no sense, unless it's looking for a dependency that is ...

Re: MSI upgrade failing on .net installer custom action
Can you please send me the project you are using to test - that is unable to replicate the issue - and I can test that in my environment as well?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: MSI upgrade failing on .net installer custom action
When I say I reverted the ReqVersion, what I did was re-selected the DLL that contains the Installer Class (my primary binary/distributable) using the AI GUI. This auto-populated the ReqVersion back to 4.0.xxxx. Packaging that up results in the original behavior...there is no error on the InstallLib ...

Re: MSI upgrade failing on .net installer custom action
OK, please help me understand your logic...
The install package (MSI) works perfectly if it is NOT an upgrade. Why would changing the Run under LocalSystem option affect only the upgrade path? The installer appears to not find the requested class during an upgrade - it's not that it can't run it ...
