Re: Version Selector or Launcher to run correct version of AI

Is this a feature yet?

Working in multiple version of Advanced Installer on a regular basis, I'd definitely be interested in having the correct version of AI launched when double-clicking on the .aip file.

Environment variables not being removed on uninstall

Hello -

I am using AI v12.4.2 and have created four separate system environment variables. Two for paths related to the application, and another one for the Java JDK and another for the JRE.

All four get correctly created, however when uninstalling only the two related to the application paths ...

Re: Convert software launch condition into custom action using aicustact.dll?

For those interested in the sample project I posted, I just caught mistake.

Be sure to change the following line in the inline VB Script for the custom action labeled 'SetJREHome'

strJREVersion = Session.Property("MIN_JDK_1.7X64")

to

strJREVersion = Session.Property("MIN_JRE_1.7X64")

Re: Convert software launch condition into custom action using aicustact.dll?

I did have a chance to test out an inline script for reading the correct 64-bit JavaHome value out of the registry for both the JRE and the JDK based on the minimum version found.

In case anyone is interested, I have attached the modified version of the sample project Dan originally provided ...

Re: Convert software launch condition into custom action using aicustact.dll?

Hi Dan -

Thanks for the quick response.

After using your product for nearly 8 years I really appreciate how I can post a question or send a request to support at the end of my day and often get a response by the following morning. Awesome!

I was finally able to schedule some time to look at your ...

Convert software launch condition into custom action using aicustact.dll?

Hello Everyone -

I have an installer I am working on, where it needs to check for a minimum version of both the JRE and JDK.

Using the software tab under launch conditions, I found the check works great when the MSI is first launched.

However, I am looking for a slightly different user ...

Re: Unable to add comment to Internet Shortcut

Never mind, I made a mistake and jumped the gun.

The comment was actually from a previous version of my installer project, where the shortcut was actually a shortcut to an installed file (which was an internet shortcut in my AppDir) and NOT an Internet shortcut. Somewhere along the line I changed ...

Unable to add comment to Internet Shortcut

I noticed today that you cannot add a comment for an Internet Shortcut in the Application Shortcut Folder. (Any comments will then appear as a tool tip.)

Prompt when makeing changes Media/Bootstrapper tabs

Hi -

While experimenting with some different option on the Media and Bootstapper tabs, I found that Advanced Installer forced some changes on me when I would have rather been prompted to make them. (BTW - I think it's great that AI realizes a change needs to be made.)

For example, I was on the ...

Oh, that makes sense - the application is configured to install per machine. But I did have a registry setting that is installed in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive. (Which was a actually a fix from the component vendor.)

I tried the permission you recommended (and kept the user registry setting) and it ...

Modifying permissions on registry causes installer to loop

Hi -

I am trying to create an installer for an application where I need to create a couple of ODBC connections for connecting Crystal Reports (version 8.5) to a SQL database.

I accomplished this in the AIP project, by importing the registry key from a machine where the ODBC connections were setup ...

Are there any plans on supporting WIX?

Just curious, but I wondered if you were planning on supporting the generation of (or importing of) Windows Installer XML (WIX).
