Hi, Unfortunately these seems to be false positive detections of Windows Defender. The quickest action you can implement will be to add a Defender exclusion on the output folder where your setup project is built. The best practice when such false positive detection occurs is to submit a report to W...

I am having the exact same issue. The MSI is able to be signed through digital signing but the executable gives the same error as you are describing. This looks like an Advanced Installer specific issue since signing the installer executable without Advanced Installer (so manually through a batch fi...

Hi, I cannot find a way to let the installer set all files within a certain folder as read-only (attribute). I am able to select all files within a folder, right mouse click properties and then select "read-only" which sets all attributes of the files to read-only. But when I have a synced...

Hi Liviu, After some debugging and using Process Monitor to see what the installer was really doing we found it it was a KeyPath in the Component table which had the exact same name as a component in our older installer. Because we enabled Advertising in our feature in the new installer the installe...

Hi Liviu, I have managed to narrow down why the installer isn't installing the correct version of certain files. If I install another installer I made a few years ago, which has completely different GUID's and Product/Upgrade codes, and then install my current installer it installs older versions of...

Small update. I discovered that even if I remove the theme.css files from the synced folder by using the exclude filter they are STILL being installed by the installer. Have you guys ever seen this kind of behaviour? Files which aren't shown within the UI are still installed on the operating system?

Hello, I have a synchronized folder which contains a number of files like CSS files. I used Jenkins to automatically build my projects and this has been working for years. But currently while building a new installer when I change the content of a CSS file on my source drive I can see it getting upd...

Hi Liviu,

We won't be able to update the installers until the start of next year, since we run them within a company protocol, but I am sure this will solve the issue since it is marked as a bug. Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Hello, I have a problem with a message box we use to display a warning to our users. This always worked for us perfectly but now suddenly the text within the message box gets cut off as if there is a max height added to the message boxes. In the previous version, AI v18.2, we didn't have any trouble...

I currently have the exact same issue when upgrading from 18.2 to 19.3. It even doesn't allow me to make any builds which is a bummer. Could you please advise if this has been fixed for you and how? Thanks! Hello, We haven't received any email with the .aip file from Bryan. Please send us the .AIPs...

Hi Catalin, Unfortunately all components are not marked as Never Overwrite or Permanent. I think I am just going to give up on overwriting the files since it's not working at all. I would suspect that "Always overwrite files" would have done the job but it doesn't. I am just going to make ...

Hi Catalin, Thank you for your reply. I have tried this solution. I have set all File Operations of these 6 template files to "Always overwrite existing file" but the file still doesn't get overwritten. When I debug the installer I see that it's still giving the same message which is: MSI ...

Hi, I have an installer which needs to overwrite certain files, with the same name, in a parent folder since a user is able to select a certain language and based on that the correct language files need to overwrite the old files. Now I notice that the new files are not able to overwrite the files i...

Yes indeed, I was talking about that command. I suspected that it wouldn't work but thank you for the answer.
