Aha! I didn't spot the little down arrow on the button. Thanks for the quick reply Liviu.

I've just tried installing AI 21.2.2. I didn't see an option to choose the install location, nor the choice that you used to get, to either install alongside or replace the previous version. I looked in the program files folder as it was installing, and it seemed to be deleting files from the progra...

I've found that signing can be done with KeyLocker-hosted EV certificates, without specifying a custom signing tool or using Advanced Installer >=21.0. If you set up the DigiCert KSP library as per the DigiCert documentation, and store your credentials for accessing your certificate in the Windows C...

Advanced Installer 20.9.1 is now online: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/download.html Please let us know if you have any issues with the prerequisites. The "Folder" setting for a URL-based prerequisite still seems to be ignored. The file is downloaded to a folder name based on the Prer...

As per the user guide here , I've tried putting "WebView2?MicrosoftEdgeWebview2Setup.exe" in the "Folder" field for the prerequisite, but it doesn't work. Actually it seems to be ignoring the Folder setting entirely, which is also a change from 20.1. In 20.1, it would download th...

I have a custom prerequisite set up for MS WebView2, with the URL https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703 . This is Microsoft's permalink that redirects to the latest version of the WebView2 runtime. It currently does a 301 redirect to https://msedge.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestr...

It's great to have this available as a predefined prerequisite, but as of AI 20.1, it needs some tweaks to work correctly. On install, it fails with a CRC error if you chose the "download from URL" option. I think Microsoft frequently changes the file that's on the end of that URL. The Int...

Hi Catalin. Let me see if I can explain. In the XML web.config file of any .NET web application, you will likely have an <assemblyBinding> section that contains version information about external libraries (assemblies) that the application depends on, similar to this: <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmln...

I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but I think the issue in the original post is still a problem and there ought to be a better answer to it. Any ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET web API application is going to need to update the contents of the <assemblyBinding> web.config section when doing an upgrade,...

I was able to solve this problem in the end by manually editing the .aip file to insert a new component entry, and link the resource to it instead of the old component.

AndyL

I can drag-and-drop it to a different component, but that doesn't solve my problem because I don't have another component that I want to apply exactly the same conditions and attributes to. If I could manually create a new component, then I could move it there. I can't find a way to add a component ...

I have a component, called "Web.config", which contains two resources: A web.config file, and a web.config XML transform. I want to split them so the two resources are in separate components, because I now want to apply different conditions to each. How can I do this? I can't figure it out...

AndyL

Has there been any response from the dev team on this issue yet?

AndyL

If there's an alternative way for me to get the installers to you without posting them somewhere publicly accessible, please let me know.

AndyL

My emails with files to reproduce the issue keep getting bounced due to size limits exceeded. So it doesn't look like I can send you complete installers to reproduce the issue. I have now emailed some project files that should hopefully allow you to reproduce the issue, if you build them in AI 17.9 ...
