Re: Confirmation when changing installer from MSI to EXE

> Usually, when using something that requires changing the build to EXE, the user is notified. I understand where you're coming from, but typically when you're going to make a destructive change, especially in a program where there is no undo capability, you don't just use a notification that's only...

I work in virtual machines 90% of the time and some operations can take a really long time in certain projects, like clicking on the Files item in the Table Editor. It would be handy if it were possible to cancel that operation by simply clicking on another item instead of completely locking up unti...

Re: How to set License Agreement EULA to use a Project Path Variable

How to set License Agreement EULA to use a Project Path Variable

As such, we are making extensive use of the Project Path Variables to point the different parts to the correct locations when it is time to build. The one exception seems to be t...

Isolating a problem from a command line build

We're in the process of automating our build procedure for one of our products and I've finally migrated the build process of AdvancedInstaller. The problem we're running into now is that while everything works just fine when running the AI application, it does not from the command line. The command...

If I add a value into the Current User/Local Machine when I try to install on Vista, the error is: Could not open key: UNKNOWN/software/... Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or ...

Getting Parent of Searched File

If I know my user is going to have a file on their computer named test.exe and I want to install another file right next to it (or replace it), I know I need to create a search for that file, but how do I specify the file's parent for the installer?
