Great, thanks! I think I did try that and had an error message 'invalid parameter' error box.
Tried it again now and that worked.

Hello! I have read this article: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/exe-setup-file.html to learn how to run the uninstall when using the .exe bootstrapper. It appears that the command line like this: setup.exe /x will result in nothing happening. For the uninstall to proceed, it appears th...

Dear Liviu, thanks for chiming in.

Though it seems a solution is found, it appears I have other properties that need to have the same treatment applied to them.

What would be great, if there was a reason/explanation given for this behavior...

Thanks!

Here is what I found. The 'missing' property was declared (present) in the separate Properties table that can be displayed by the AI UI via the left navigation tree. Now, I went into the Table Editor and added the same property in the Properties table there. Lo and behold - the 'missing' property is...

FWIW, I am observing a similar behavior. A property set at the Wizards stage is not passed to the Execution stage. I see it set, I display it in a message box right after it's set, but when I try to use it , it's empty. The property is listed in the Properties table. It is set via the Session.Proper...

Well, here is a really crazy thing. Even the installer built by Jenkins *doesn't* have the problem when it's run from anywhere, but the Downloads folder!
It's pretty amusing that it happens and I don't have a slightest idea why/how that happens...

sasha

A puzzling fact is that the issue is not reproducing when built my local dev VM. It happens when built on Jenkins.
I'm trying to see if I can create a small repro case.

Thanks for reply, Catalin. Indeed, the actions are hooked up tp the 'Finish' button. The problem is that the ExitDialog is executed twice - please see the log in the original post. By the time I see the dialog displayed, the custom actions have fired already. And that's the problem. Nobody clicked t...

Hello, thanks for looking at this issue. I have converted our installer project from producing an .msi file to produce an .exe. The main reason being the UAC prompt that is presented at the time of the launch, rather than later. That solves a number of inconvenient issues for us. Now, what I observe...

Thank you!

Thanks! I did try online Base64 decoder and it returned garbage. Should've tried more.

Still, I implore you to stop the encoding, as it makes code reviews very difficult.

sasha

Hello! The problem with the encoded state of the scripts is that it's impossible to perform reviews on them. I doubt very much users manually modifying the scripts in the .aip file is such a huge problem. The inability to perform proper source/version control via code reviews is a much bigger proble...

I understand. My post was more of an alert the issue is still happening out in the field. If I find out more information on reproducing it, I will share it.

sasha

Unfortunately, I don't think I can do that. I personally have never seen it, but our QA see the issue occasionally. On the same system it happens So, coming up with a sample project is unlikely... Here is what the QA reported: files are copied or moved to C:\AI_RecycleBin\ folder under a unique fold...

sasha

Well our QA just alerted me to this issue happening when using AI 20.7.1.
