After the upgrade, I opened my aip in Advanced Installer, hit save to convert it to 22.8. Went back to VS and opened the aip and get an error. I hit OK and it does open but if I edit a value and hit save, I get another error. If I try to open AI from the extension, I get yet another error.

Using silent install switch doesn't install prerequisites
I'm trying to run the following command (running cmd as admin):
msiexec.exe /i PrePotTestSetup.msi /qb-!
It installs the main package but not the prerequisites. I've tried setting the package to basic user interface, many different options for the prereq, silent, etc. Actually, when I have the ...

Re: Install prerequisite from command prompt, not Powershell
Turns out the Driver package behavior is inconsistent with the silent switch. I ended up using the SDK package and it works is the PreReq section.
Maybe this will help someone in the future.

Re: Install prerequisite from command prompt, not Powershell
I just tried copying the exe and associated files to a known folder, then running a batch file and it does not work.
Command prompt opens, it appears to be installing but it doesn't.

Re: Install prerequisite from command prompt, not Powershell
If I create a batch file with this line, this works when I just run the batch file manually.
Zebra_CoreScanner_Driver -s -f1"c:\kak\zebradriversetup.iss"
I'm not sure why this doesn't work in the PreReq section.

Install prerequisite from command prompt, not Powershell
I'm trying to install a driver package in silent mode and per their documentation, this is the command needed:
"Zebra CoreScanner Driver (64bit)" -s -f1"zebradriversetup.iss"
When I run this from C:\Windows\systems32.cmd.exe it works just fine. When I tried to build an MSI with it in the ...

Re: Installer not picking up changes in csproj file
It only works the first time. Change the <FileVersion> tag, build msi and install. The new number you entered there is not reflected.
I discovered this by doing an in-place upgrade. I incremented the <Version> and <FileVersion> tags here and in the aip project. The app does replace the previous ...

Re: Installer not picking up changes in csproj file
Open the solution I sent, enter something for the <Version> and <FileVersion> tags in .csproj Run the app in debug mode and the version numbers you entered will be in the form's title bar. Now build an installer, install, run - the forms title bar does not reflect csproj

Re: Installer not picking up changes in csproj file
Can't send zips and forum wouldn't let me attach. Looks like I should be able to email it, I'm looking into it.

Installer not picking up changes in csproj file
In my csproj file, I set the <Version> and <FileVersion> tags and then use this in my app to do a verification that the user is using the correct version of the app. I used to use a VS Setup project but recently switched to AI.
When I do a release build, I update those tags and build. When ...

Ugh, 5 minutes after I posted this I figured it out. I had never built the project, as soon as I did, it was fine.

Add Project Output does not add files
I'm currently evaluating AI and ran into a problem. When I first tried it out, it seemed to work great. I believe I updated VS2022, minor upgrade e.g. 17.8.3>17.8.5 then things got weird. I was fighting the tool and thought I was doing something wrong. I did a complete reinstall of VS and extensions ...
