My concern with this approach is that we overwrite the version of the file on a customer's PC with one that is different. The end result being that the installation of our application has changed the customer's PC configuration.

Is there a way to compare the versions of the files?

Installing Microsoft OCX in APPDIR

Our application uses the MS Treeview control in "mscomctl.ocx". I've been installing the file into a directory in our application folder and auto-registering it. Everything works fine, but we just noticed that when uninstalling the application, the MS Treeview no longer works. It should be ...

I understand we cannot rename Components through the UI
We have this on our TODO list an will be available in a future release (I have increase its priority). Until then if you really want to rename the components you need to manually edit the AIP file.

Just wondering if there is an answer to this? Can I create my own Component for each directory and have AI place the Resources into that Component without RE-editing the AIP file?

Re: Manually Renaming Components

Gigi,

Thanks for the reply. I did edit the file, but I quoted the real problem below:

Instead , a NEW component was automatically added using the first file found as the name just as though I had never manually added the Components myself AND my Component named after the directory disappeared ...

Manually Renaming Components

Hi, I'm trying to organize our install and give the Components more meaningful names than simply the first object found in the directory, which may or may not always be there. I understand we cannot rename Components through the UI, so I planned on editing the AIP file.

I also understand that each ...

PS. ADDSOURCE

OK, got it. Using ADDSOURCE means I don't need my Property: INSTALLTYPE since I can directly reference the Features. Great!

Is ADDSOURCE a Windows Installer Property or Advanced Installer? I couldn't find any reference to this in your documentation.

Thank you for the reply. This forum is an excellent resource and support tool!

This is a good approach but please tel me why you need to condition features installation since the user can choose what features to install from "Setup Type" dialog. The "Setup Type" dialog can be added from "Dialogs ...

MainAppCmdLine=ADDSOURCE=MainFeature

Hi, I'm a little unclear on two things.

1. The syntax for the INI file. Should the INI entry look like:
MainAppCmdLine=ADDSOURCE=MainFeature (Your above example)
OR
MainAppCmdLine=msiexec /i Setup.msi ADDSOURCE=MainFeature
I seem to get the MSI Help ...

Installing Features Based on Property

Hi,

Since I am new to Advanced Installer, and I would just like to run this by someone to make sure it is a good way of doing it, or see if there's a better way to do it. We bought the Professional level license.

My goal is to have just one Installation script to maintain. Here's my first go at ...

Assigning a Merge Module to Feature?

Can I assign Merge Modules and Shortcuts to a Feature? Do they show up as Components? I only need these Resources installed conditionally, that is, during a "Client" type of install which I will determine with a Property.

Thanks!
Mike

Gigi,
Thanks for the info - it works great. Now, how do I make it run AFTER the install is completed, that is, AFTER the User clicks "Finish" on the final dialog?
