Re: Installation type not properly preserved

Hello Catalin,

Hahaha, ok, fair enough. I understand the pain that the complexity of Windows brings. Thank you for going above and beyond. Say hello to Eusebiu.

Ok, one final question, I hope. There are two ways where I could manage this problem, during the update process or during the ...

Re: Installation type not properly preserved

Hello Catalin,

I understand. For me, the confusion has arisen from this post I found from 12 years ago from who I assume one of your colleagues who describes using PreservedInstallType to solve the same problem I have by placing it in InstallExecuteSequence as well. https://www.advancedinstaller ...

Re: Installation type not properly preserved

Hello Catalin,

Thank you for the explanation about the ALLUSERS property. However that is not exactly where the problem lies here. My main issue is that PreserveInstallType is working only partially when the silent install/update is performed. It seems to be working well to detect where the new ...

Re: Installation type not properly preserved

Hello Catalin,

No problems. Ok, I will send you the mock project first thing Monday. And as for the repro, could you read through my second reply? You should try the trigger the update and then the uninstall. I described two ways in which it can be done. On is just by closing our app, which ...

Re: Installation type not properly preserved

Hello Catalin,

Thank you for a swift response and for taking an interest in our problem. Could you clarify just a bit more what the sample project would look like?
The thing is I would try to keep the project unchanged, or with only the necessary changes. If I am not mistaken you would only need ...

Installation type not properly preserved

Hello dear folks at Advanced Installer. We have been a happy customer of your product for about a year, ever since it has helped us solve some rather quite tricky problems, mostly related to updates. While I have been able to solve most of them by reading the Community page and playing around, I am ...

Re: Optional updates without elevation

Hello Catalin,

Thank you for the answer. It is quite an interesting solution. I played around with it today and if the prerequisite installers are set to be executed silently, it is almost a seamless solution (apart from a double admin prompt but that should be fine). The doubling of the size of ...

Optional updates without elevation

Dear community,

I just found out about Advanced Installer after having spent a lot of time investigating how to create a per machine install that can be updated without UAC elevation. Stumbling upon the relevant AI page https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-elevated-updates.html made my ...
