I want to run a powershell script prior to the running the installer, so that it can uninstall the previous version of the application IF it was installed with ClickOnce. If the ClickOnce uninstall was unsuccessful, I want to cancel the install of the MSI. Reading your documentation, and forum posts...

Thanks for the help - we'll investigate

No problem - we already have the script in powershell - we have been using it for a year or so. I just wanted to convert it to AI if possible.

Is there anyway we can set compatability settings for an EXE once it is installed? Specifically we need to set the high DPI settings to *not* override.

thanks!

Thanks Catalin,

is there a help page that can tell me what the special numbers '2' and '3' mean (that are used in the conditions)?

I need to define a scheduled task with multiple triggers (Once, startup and every 3 mins). We are running a Kiosk shell and "Once" executes very early on system restart.

Anyway to setup a scheduled task from AI that has multiple triggers?

I would like to execute a custom action on install only if a specific feature is installed. I saw this posting, however I need o run the action elevated and after the application is installed. https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34512 I would also like to run a custom action ele...

Figured it out.

Needed to add "Flags = SilentInstall|Advertises" to our updates.txt

We are evaluating your software as replacement for ClickOnce and one major feature we are interested in is silent (no GUI) install triggered from our application. Since our install requires UAC we are trying to use your "How to handle updates without Elevation" https://www.advancedinstalle...

Thanks for the tip.

FWIW the issue was that MS Installer does not recognize the last number in the build, e.g. major.minor.version.build

I changed the build number to increment on the 3rd number and it now uninstalls the old and installs the new. (e.g. 99.0.1.0 now goes to 99.0.2.0)

I should describe what happens. I run a build, it creates build 9.0.0.9000 MSI. I download and install in. I run a second build. it creates build 9.0.0.9001 MSI. I download and install it. Both versins are installed. I would expect that when I run the 9001 build MSI, it would say somelike like "...

I our project I have the upgrade options set to: - Automatically upgrade older product versions - uninstall old version first... version number is set to 1.0.0 This is checked into TFS. We use a build server. The AIP is fetched from TFS. The build server command line edits AIP and sets the build num...

After reading about the restriction on patches, I think we need to go down the upgrade route for each time we update.

Howdy all, we are an ISV with a WPF app and we are currently moving from ClickOnce to MSI. We are evaluating Advanced installer to see if it will work for us. So far so good, but now comes the hard part. We like the convenience of ClickOnce updates, and would like to emulate it with AI. I have been ...
