Hi Cosmin,

My bad -- RTFM. Thanks for the clarification.

Cheers,

Hello AI-ers,

I have discovered a minor issue with passing content as part of a public property from the bootstrapper to Windows Installer. If I specify a string that contains "//" as part of my command line, e.g.,

MyPackage.exe CONFIGPROPERTIES="/_mywebsite_ 'http://www.mygroovysite.com ...

Hi folks,

This may have been touched on (see http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6879) but I wasn't sure based upon the context of that message, so here goes. Is there supposed to be a way to have the updater's configuration dialog strings localized?
I have a five language ...

Hi Cosmin,

Thanks for the reply.

In order to make sure that the Uninstall process uses Administrator privileges you need to use the "Per user only (with administrator rights required)"

That did the trick as far as getting the process started correctly. Now that the uninstall is elevated ...

Hello AI-ers,

I'm currently puzzled by behavior I see on Vista in Programs and Features (previously Add/Remove Programs). I have configured our package so that the only functionality exposed thru ARP is maintenance mode as we have some dialogs we wish to present interactively everytime the user ...

Hi Cosmin,

Thanks for the comments. The main reason I called out the /exenoui and /exelang parameters being used together was because of the documentation:

You can use both an UI level and /exelang command line options at the same time.

If you are referring to a Windows Installer UI level you ...

Hi Cosmin,

Thanks for pointing me to the documentation resource. With a bit of trial and error, I was able to achieve the functionality I need. I want to let you know that there does seem to be some behavior associated with this functionality that I don't think is intended, however. Specifically ...

Sorry -- I was not quite clear on something I said in the previous post. If I type

mypackage.exe /?

the available options are presented; clicking "OK" causes the bootstrapper to crash.

Typing

mypackage.exe /listlangs

lists the supported languages; no crash results from clicking OK.

Cheers ...

Hi Cosmin,

I've downloaded the 6.2 release and am still having problems. A quick perusal of the documentation does not appear to include any guidelines as to how to make the multilanguage package install silently. Pressing on, I built my package and tried getting information about available options ...

Hi Cosmin,

Any update on when the revision looks to be ready?

Thanks,

Hi all,

Okay, so I had some reading to do about how transforms work (my lack of knowledge was apparent in my previous post :wink:). That and playing around with msiinfo, msidb and WiSubStg.vbs tells me most of what I want to know.

I can get the list of embedded transforms using the latter script ...

Hi Cosmin,

Is it possible to suppress the language select dialog during a command line driven silent install? I thought that using something like

Code: Select all

setup.exe /qn /g 1033

might work.

Cheers,

Hi Cosmin,

Thanks for the reply. I tried a number of workarounds and finally opted for (i believe) the simplest one. In AI's Product Details I checked "Disable Repair" and "Disable Remove" and left "Disable Modify" unchecked. This gives me just the Change button in ARP which lets me present Repair ...

Hi AI-ers,

Is there a way to force the repair and remove options invoked from ARP in the control panel to use the interactive rather than quiet mode?

Thanks,

Steve

Is it me or is this broken? When I enable multiline support I get no scrollbar, enter key doesn't appear to be handled either by the control or the parent, and an hourglass appears as soon as I type anything. Window style and/or message map problems?

FYI I am using 6.0.0.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
