Hello, I have tried to find a forum post that was exactly the problem I was having, but could not. So, we have been pushing this problem forward on several of our installers for some time. We sign our exes and dlls on our build pipeline, then stage all of our files on a server that has our private k...

Catalin,

I wasn't able to create a project to recreate this behavior. I tried, but wasn't able to replicate it.

The answer to the second question is that it is easy to reproduce on every machine we install it on.

Thanks,
Bryan

I found a different approach for this, by just computing free space available using powershell in a Custom Action. I did find the ReserveCost table as a possible solution, but it seems the files would already have to be in the component list with their sizes and it didn't allow for me to change it p...

Hello, This is similar to https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=51161&p=129622&hilit=costing#p129622, but I didn't want to hijack someone else's post. Here is the scenario: Our application has been around for quite some time, and we save off a lot of data in .sdf f...

Sorry, have been busy. Will try to provide some of the requested actions in the next couple of weeks.

So, recently we noticed that the installer doesn't uninstall from the Control Panel by using 'Uninstall/Change' option. It works fine by right-clicking on the .msi and selecting 'Uninstall' and also by running it from the command-line. When looking at the log, it says it was 'reconfigured' rather th...

I did actually figure this out. There is no button on the Control to ask if you want to localize it, but there was an entry on the User Interface/Translations (Project Strings tab) Since, from another post, I learned for this to work with the Html Host Control (as a file, not URL) you have to add th...

Hello, We recently switched over to hosting our End User License Agreement as a HTML file in a Html Host Control rather than a .rtf file in a Rich Text Control. I cannot figure out how to change to the other languages' versions. There doesn't seem to be the Localization button on the file selector f...

Hello, I am experiencing an issue with my installer when I try to execute it silently. I don't experience this issue when running Full UI. I have two feature prerequisites: Microsoft .NET Runtime 5.0.12 and Microsoft ASP.NET Core 5.0.12. When the installer finishes running, the service we are instal...

I figured it out...as with JordyMeng2, I had to go back through the dialogs and re-remove the controls that were deleted. But the error was caused by one of the Dialogs having a duplicate Control Event. In my case, it was a Close Dialog Published Event on a button. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Bryan

Hello Liviu, I did a diff of the .aip file that I sent you and you fixed. So, the fix was basically to delete the "DeletedRows" attributes for components: caphyon.advinst.msicomp.MsiBinaryComponent, caphyon.advinst.msicomp.MsiControlComponent, and caphyon.advinst.msicomp.MsiControlEventCom...

Hello,

There seems to be a discrepancy between the screen shot for the "Edit Failure Action Dialog" and the description below it.

Hello, So, we have been pushing along some errors for some time. When I open the project, I get the following: Loading error: could not find control SQLServerConnectionDlg-TestConnectionLink for control event Loading error: could not find control SQLServerConnectionDlg-BrowseDatabases for control ev...

Catalin,

I understand. Thanks for the timely response.

Hello,

I have a quick question related to this solution. Does the "Upgrade Code" field in the Extended Search work with the [|UpgradeCode] alias? I couldn't get it to work with it, but I don't know if it was something I was doing wrong or if this was by-design.

Thanks,
Bryan
