Hello guys,

I have a strange behaviour with 2 msi files generated with Advanced Installer:
The first one "NMDK" v.1.2.0 is installed on my PC and when I try to install the second one - "NMDK - solution 5210" v1.3.0 (this tool is different from the first one, it is not the newer version!), so ...

Hello,

My msi file worked fine until today on all pc in the office. But today I tested on a pc where I observed strange behaviour:
On the target machine the expected env variables are present, but when the installation finish I haven't the files where I expect. Usual behaviour (on most pc): %XXX ...

Hi,

In fact the solution with RemoveFiles standard action is not good for my case, because I want to remove a file which directory path is stored in env variable. I think that when it try to remove the file, the folder is not known yet, and the file is not removed. (I take the folder name with ...

Thanks Mihai,

Very useful help, thanks a lot.
Just a little question:
With the Removal action in File and Folder page, is there any order to execute the different actions:
-First all removal items
-After all add items
because I want to remove a file that I will add in the same time, so the order ...

Hello,

I have to put an existing file on the target PC. Even if the file exists or not I must replace the existing one with the one in my msi file.
I put this file in a separate component and I check the Permanent checkbox to be not deleted on uninstall.
But I see that the existing file is not ...

borislaa

Ok , thanks
In fact if the env variable is not found the empty string is affected to my XXX_HOME variable. So

XXX_HOME="Your Value" OR XXX_HOME=""

is the condition that works fine.

Thank you so much ${L_SMILIES_VERY_HAPPY}$

Hello,

I have a similar problem - my project contains a lot of files ....

Hello Mike and thanks a lot for your answer :))

I tried to make all of your instructions, but I think I do something wrong:
1. I created a new propery in "Install Parameters" called MyDir, but I must associated a value to this property ... so tried to put [%JAVA_HOME],
a string "a", [%JAVA_HOME ...

It will be great if in the Files section you add the possibility
to put files in Env variables. It will be the responsability of the install maker to use the env variables that are folders in tne target computer.

For exemple:
If I want to put some files into %JAVA_HOME% directory
