Hi Catalin, an email has been sent with a link to a simplified application example.

Hi Catalin,

We'll work on providing you with a straightforward example soon. This particular case is a bit more complex because it involves the updater feature, which necessitates a web server and multiple files that must interact together.

Kind regards,

Hi Catalin, We've further pinpointed the issue to the "Notifications" feature, particularly how it handles the "Image URL". It doesn't set the permissions correctly on the downloaded image, so any subsequent "update" using the same image fails with that error "Open...

Hello Catalin, I apologize if that was not clear. We are using all the setting as outlined in, "How to handle updates without elevation", however the above symptoms are what we are observing. Is there something fundamental we have missed? https://i.imgur.com/YDNVRwM.png https://i.imgur.com...

We've identified a potential issue related to where updates are downloaded in the updater settings. The option to "Download updates to this folder" is set to use the "[CommonAppDataFolder][Manufacturer][ProductName]\updates\ path. Download updates to this folder: [CommonAppDataFolder]...

Hi, We have a customer that is running our install and the installation is reporting success, but it is not actually installing anything in the "Program Files" folder. We understand they have differing group policies depending on the users role in the company, but uncertain what exactly is...

It looks like it was a quoting issue on the command. The path had spaces in it.

Needed to be:

Code: Select all

command = "icacls """ & configFilePath & """ /grant *S-1-5-32-545:RXW"

Please consider this resolved.

We are building an installer that has some custom actions that create a file (which works) and need to modify the file permissions. We cannot use inline powershell script due to some group policy limitations. Using powershell this is easy with icacls, but not sure how to do this in VBScript, as it d...

Please consider this one closed. That article covers it. Thanks!

I do see this article. I'll work through that first and post if that doesn't solve the issue for us. https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... dates.html

Is it possible to use the upgrader to have a regular user upgrade without admin access? I know some offerings run as a system account and perform the upgrade in this scenario?

Hi Liviu,

Thank you for the continued investigation. We'll keep monitoring this issue on our end and see if we can find any more information with the suggestions you provided.

Kind regards,

Hi Liviu, Still working on getting the files requested. I did reproduce this with the Advanced Installer 20.5 uninstaller. The log is attached this time. Also not all windows 10 machines behave this way and I'm not sure what makes these slower uninstall machines unique. Machine details: Processor: I...
