I would like to have the possibility to release updates to smaller groups of users to check that app doesn't have issues without bug risks.

It is up to you how to implement the mechanism. Here is a simple example of possible logic:
An additional property in updateConfig.txt files (for example ...

Hey,
My installer project has a merged module with NETADAPTERCX21_Property parameter.
It is not clear how I could dynamically pass the parameter in Advanced Installer project.
There is Parameters section In the Configure Merge Modules, the section has one item NETADAPTERCX21_Property. I can enter a ...

Hey, guys
I would like to add merged modules to an installer project. There are three merged modules which have the same driver for different platforms (x86, x64, arm64):

Advanced installer is able to add files or folders in Resources/ Files and Folders. On project build, the build process checks if all files exist and fails if any of files are missing.
Can I configure a project to do not fail to build if some specific file is missing?
For example, if the file ...

It seems I have found how to specify a build:

Code: Select all

Rebuild -buildslist $buildName

Thank you very much for the clarification!
I've got a question from the maintainability perspective: If I understood correctly there are two projects created from one template in your proposed option. Does it mean that in case of a new custom action, I will need to create a custom action in one ...

At the moment CI pipeline builds an advanced installer project using PowerShell script with command line tools:

We would like to have two different installer versions of an application.
1). An installer has several prerequisites based on "Download single file from URL" approach. The installer size is small and it can download prerequisite files during installation and install them before application.
2). The ...

How a separate build could help in this case? It seems the build configuration doesn't have a package type parameter.

At the moment I added an additional advanced installer project for ARM64 version. The ARM64 project has only one difference: package type is set to Arm64. I'm not happy about that because now I need to do same changes in both versions.
Is it possible to have only one installer project and set ...

Hello,

Yes, you should be able to do so by selecting the appropriate option as I've mentioned above.

Best regards,
Catalin

I've managed to install an Arm64 application using Advanced Installer. However, during installation in Task Manager/Processes the installer process is marked as (32 bit ...

Hello,

What I'm thinking here is that in case of failure, you can set a property and then see it in the "Custom Properties" section of your Installer Analytics account.

Have you tried that?

Best regards,
Catalin

I'm sorry, probably, I wasn't clear enough.
At the moment Advanced Installer ...

In case 1, we can do as you said in your point 1. However, for the second case, there's nothing we can really do.

And most of the times, in an corporate environment, we are talking about the 2nd case.

Just to double check, are you saying that if the Execution Policy is set using GroupPolicy ...

Hello,

The script doesn't have any try/catch block and do not return any exit values.

This is something you should add to your script if you need it.

The script either returns success or error, these are the only options for the Windows Installer service that interprets them.

Best regards ...

An installer has several "Run PowerShell Inline Script" custom actions. We have found that some users face installation issues because of PowerShell ExecutionPolicy settings. How can this case be handled?

1). Probably we could have an additional custom action that would change ExecutionPolicy to ...
