Hello Eusebiu,
In your last reply, you said "However, if different names are set for the MSI and EXE files of the packages, no error should appear."
What you said is what I expect, but it is not true. Advanced Installer always uses the name FILES.7z for the LZMA compression, so multiple builds ...

Re: An error occurred during LZMA compression
It's going to take me a while to do that, but in the meantime, you do this:
Simultaneously launch five separate installers in the same directory that have the same target directory. These installers need to create sizeable install packages (maybe 10MB) to make sure that compressing them actually ...

An error occurred during LZMA compression
I am using Advanced Installer in command line builds to simultaneously create several install packages by running multiple copies of AI in parallel. This has worked fine for at least a couple of years, but started failing when I upgraded to Version 14.

Cosmin,
I am a Microsoft MVP. If you can give me some details on the API you are using and what you are doing when it fails, I can usually get the issue elevated for a response.

I use Norton Antivirus 2010. Turning off antivirus fixed the problem for me also.

Re: Windows 7 Logo Testing Problem
Hello,
I understand that the file is an icon, but the filename is clearly generated based on something in the MSI created by Advanced Installer. I looked at other directories in \Windows\Installer. Out of hundreds of entries, there was only one other case where there was an icon file named after ...

Re:
Has the feature been added yet to register COM EXEs? I looked in 6.7.1 but did not see the option.
If the feature hasn't been added, how do we set up the custom action so that the call to the EXE on Vista is made with Administrator privileges?
Thank you,
Jim

Re: Multiple attached files for custom action
Thanks. I was able to get it to work based on your recommendations, but I was not able to create a Custom Action based on a temporary file. I had to make the Custom Action based on an attached file, then the rest of the files were temporary files.

Multiple attached files for custom action
I apologize if I'm missing something obvious, but I need to write a DLL custom action that requires six DLLs. It's straightforward to have a custom action use a single DLL that's an attached file, but I don't see a way to attach multiple files to a single custom action.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Re: Conditional reboot after custom action
Never mind, answered my own question:
http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title= ... Action_Dll
This article describes that the DLL function is given a single parameter of type MSIHANDLE, which the DLL can use to call MsiGetProperty and MsiSetProperty.

Re: Conditional reboot after custom action
Thanks Gigi, but I'm still missing part of the answer to the question - how do I evaluate the return value from a function in a DLL so I can set the REBOOT property?
If I create a custom action that calls a function in a DLL, I don't see any place to add script or code to evaluate the return value.

Prevent merge module from uninstalling
Is there a way to prevent a merge module from uninstalling? We are distributing the Visual C++ C run-time and would like to leave the DLLs installed if our application is uninstalled.
Thank you for the help.

Conditional reboot after custom action
I have to install a device driver by calling a DLL in a custom action (I know it's the wrong way, but the vendor won't support it installing from an INF file...) If the driver files are in use, the function in their DLL returns a flag saying that a reboot is required. However, I can't figure out how ...
