I have inherited an installation file and have existing Registry entries such as:

ItemPath REG_SZ [New_Folder_1_IR]
OtherPath REG_SZ [New_Folder_2_DIR]

If I double click on the entrie and click Properties, I get a list of what I assume are predefined folder entries, but nothing that indicates what ...

I am installing to a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine. I have sent a scaled down setup and AIP file to your support address.

As stated, installing and then uninstalling leaves several shortcuts behind in the Start Menu.

Thanks.

I am testing an install/uninstall on Windows XP, and have gotten myself into a real jam.

I have 5 shortcuts in my application start menu. For some reason 3 of then were not being removed when uninstalling the application even though I could see no differences from the ones that were being ...

I have created an application search named "ACTIVESYNC" with the name set to the MajorVersion. I use this in my Launch Conditions as:

ACTIVESYNC >= "#3"

that works fine. However, I now need to only execute this launch condition if the operating system is older than Vista (e.g. XP).

Is there a way ...

It is a single AIP file. When I release an update, I simple increase the Product Version (e.g. "3.7.1" to "3.7.2"), and change the the name (e.g. "My Product 3.7.1" to "My Product 3.7.2"). The update works fine, and successfully removes the previous version, but the Start > All Programs menu will ...

Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned above, I do have the "Automatically upgrade older versions of the product" option checked, but the old shortcut still remains. Note that the old version is removed during the installation process, its just that the shortcut is left behind in the Start Menu.

Any ...

I want to list the version number at the end of my product name. For example "My Product 1.0".

When I create a new version, I change the Product Name to "My Product 1.1". The problem I am having is that the Program name on the Start Menu never gets removed when a user upgrades. So I end up with ...

Starting with a blank project is something I would prefer not to do if possible.

If I were to make a copy the previous product AIP and create unique GUID's for the PackageCode, ProductCode, and UpgradeCode wouldn't that create a unique unique install?

I am attempting to create a new separate install based on an existing install. I have duplicated the install and renamed the product and everything works fine. The problem is if I uninstall the opriginal product, my new product is uninstalled as well. I am assuming this has something to do with a ...

Under the Registry settings for Project Definition I have a key that was previously added which I would like to rename. If I right click on it, I get a menu with a "Rename" option which is disabled. Why would this be disabled?

Thanks

I am attempting to abort the installation if the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\MajorVersion DWORD registry value is less than 4.

First, I created a Search named ACTIVESYNC using the Search Wizard with the following properties:

Root: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SOFTWARE ...

The error is displayed when running the program, not when the user is attempting a repair or remove from the control panel. Is there any other reason that the MSI file could possibly be accessed?

I'm not intentionally using Advertised Features. I'm using Advanced Installer 2.6.2, and couldn't find anything in the help on Advanced Features.

My Installation project has a Custom Action that is another setup EXE used to install a second program on the Pocket PC. This works fine, although it ...

I am getting occasional reports from users where they are using the successfully installed software and get an error:

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to try a folder containing the installation ...
