Re: Prevent fresh install based on condition, but allow update to proceed


Hello Henrique,

In my searches, I found some users saying that sometimes, some properties (like Installing, OLDPRODUCTS and etc.) aren't populated in time. I have tested myself and displayed Installed, OLDPRODUCTS and UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE (this one just to check the test) on the installation ...

Re: FAILURE TO UPDATE VIA COMMAND LINE AFTER VERSION 20.7.1

Good morning, Eusebiu

We have made the requested adjustments: a new property, "APPDIRCLONE", was created in the properties tab:

A custom action was added to set the value of "APPDIR" to the new property "APPDIRCLONE"

Re: Custom Actions Not Executing in Silent Installation Mode

Hi Eusebiu,

Thank you for the explanations regarding the installation flow; I understand how it works now. However, unfortunately, the incident continues to occur even after configuring the prerequisite to run after the installation of the main package.

Re: Adding User-Defined Parameters to Existing Installer

Good afternoon, apologies for the delay in responding.

We need to pass the information to the already created .exe so that when the user executes it via UI or command line, the properties are already filled in without the user having to enter them.

Practical example:

We have a portal where the ...

Re: FAILURE TO UPDATE VIA COMMAND LINE AFTER VERSION 20.7.1

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your response.

We conducted tests by installing the prerequisites before the main package, and the scenario remained the same, with no values in the properties.

Do you have an estimate for when the incident will be fixed/released? We need to use some functions ...

Re: Missing installation folders after update - Suite Installation

Good morning, Catalin

Sorry for delay.

We have identified the reason for the removal of prerequisites.

The MAIN application is updated after the prerequisites are updated, and when it is updated, it deletes the APPDIR directory to update it, thereby removing the installation folders of the ...
