Re: Bootstrapper EXE ini file
I have existing installations out deployed already (over 1000 of them). I was hoping to be able to read the INI file so that when current deployed installations go to update themselves (with our custom updater, not AI's, because of the server/client deployment scenario), they could read the INI file...

Re: Bootstrapper EXE ini file
Here's the issue... We have a client / server application. We have a server installer, call it ServerInstall.exe, and a client install, call it ClientInstall.exe. The application that performs the updates is included in the installer (EPSUpdater) but it is not the application itself. EPSUpdater poll...

Re: Changing the package Install Drive
There are probably a few ways to do this. The easiest that I can think of is making use of the public MSI property "APPDIR". If you are pushing out these packages and your drives/install paths are therefore standardized, you can "push" the APPDIR location to the installer at inst...

Bootstrapper EXE ini file
I have written a custom updater application that wraps Windows Installer using the AI EXE with all installer files packaged in the EXE. (I need a custom updater because I have a client / server application - so I have to pull down my server portion to the server, update that, then publish the client...

Setting IIS MIME type clears all IIS7 MIME types in Vista!
I am setting a custom MIME type (.ex_) in the root of IIS with advanced installer. (I now realize I am also setting it in one of the virtual directories, which is not needed if it's set in the root if IIS, but FYI). When I run the install package on Vista, it clears all MIME types in the metabase so...

Error extracting files
I have a custom updater application that is calling my packaged installer (MSI & CAB/7z files included in an EXE) with the /extract command specifying a specific path and I'm receiving a "An error occurred while reading the file" error. I have emailed a screen shot of the error to supp...

Yes, I agree. That's not the problem. In previous versions, I can package all the files into the EXE, but leave the CAB separate from the MSI. Therefore, when the EXE is extracted, there is bot a CAB and an MSI file. As it is now, AI is packaging the CAB into the MSI no matter what - and then packag...

I just downloaded 4.6.1 and this still appears to be a problem. Are there any known work arounds for this? Did I miss something with a setting somewhere? When will this be fixed- or has it been already? We need to put out an update by the end of this week and our custom automated updater depends on ...

IIS VDirs don't appear to work with more that 2 VDirs
I'm not sure if I am the only one experiencing this, but as soon as I add more than 2 virtual directories to the IIS portion of my aip file, Advanced Installer fails to build with the following error: Building package (en): \\Epssvc1\INSTALL_STAGING\Field-Comm\Field-CommServer.msi Creating CAB file(...
