Thanks, I'll look forward to that in a future release.

Yes, we've been using it that way for many years. However, that requires me to go in and make manual changes through the AI GUI every time a prereq changes (which is a lot). That doesn't mix well with build automation. Unfortunately (and AFAIK), the CLI only offers these limited options: {FileVersio...

I'm in a bad spot, in that I need to create prereqs using a custom search, on the fly during build automation. The prereqs change frequently in both count and options (windows updates). Unfortunately, I'm not finding where CLI or powershell can do this for me. That leaves me with modifying the AIP f...

Looks like I was mistaken on the capabilities of the command line. From what I can tell, It does not have the ability to generate user defined prereqs. I'm not able to find any documentation anyway if it can.

-cmd_line <cmd_line> An optional command line for launching the prerequisite. This parameter cannot be used with OpenSite option. This may get a bit confusing, but I'm trying to build with Jenkins what we have always done manually through the GUI. Here is the issue: Install.PNG I need to mimic this...

I think I found the problem: cmd.PNG I noticed a peculiar cmd.exe file being included in the package after build. Rather than use the systems cmd.exe, A.I. was trying to include its own copy. Of course the system would have none of that, and not allow the included cmd.exe to run. I was under the imp...

Hi, thanks for replying. As you can see from my first post (please refer to the command line image), the argument was processing correctly when run manually. You'll notice the error level under each. Regardless, I changed the quotes in the AI arguments as per your suggestion. It did not work. I stil...

I sent the AIP file, let me know if there is anything else I can do.

HobartSimms

As you can see in the photos from my initial post, I have the same settings as you. However, I re-ran the search to prove that I'm not crazy (installed hotfixes): adv-2a.PNG AI still wanting to install the already installed updates. Please note: the two you see unchecked are found using a different ...

Hi - I'm following the instructions here: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-configure-msu-files.html According to the docs: "Search done by a custom executable - this option enables you to specify your own EXE file that will determine whether the prerequisite is installed. The set...

Just an update.
Building the project in A.I. 13.9 this issue goes away.
The pre-reqs run just fine.

HobartSimms

This is probably not a common problem but don't know where to post. I'm wanting to see if anyone else has encountered this issue. I have an installer created with A.I.. It has worked fine when run manually or via command line (/passive /norestart). However, when Puppet runs this installer, the requi...

If would be very beneficial, in my case, if rule #2 never ran based on rule #1 returning true. For example, the rule #2 .EXE has already been run externally by another application or user - and I do not want it to run again. In fact, this is what rule #1 is actually checking for. This all stems from...

HobartSimms

Hi - I have a prerequisite that depends on all conditions being false. If one of the conditions returns true, will A.I. stop processing the other condition rules below, or are they always evaluated regardless? For example: --------------------------------------------------------- 1. If registry key ...
