Re: Startup failure check and DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandle

Thanks Daniel,

That appears to be OK but can't be sure as, in order to test the patch, I've had to partially rework a fix that we'd already implemented as a work-around. So everything is working for us but can't be sure whether it's entirely your patch that fixed it.

Presume the patch to the stubs ...

Re: Startup failure check and DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandle

Hi Daniel,

As requested, I have sent you a link where you can download the AI installation package and attached the associated .aip file.

Startup failure check and DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler

I am having a problem with setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(...) not working when the Java application is launched from AdvancedInstaller.

When the java application is launched from the command line, uncaught exceptions are caught and handled by the application's UncaughtExceptionHandler. When ...

Re: Preserve Existing Environment Variable

Humblest apologies.

Didn't see the "On install:" option in the environment variables properties dialogue :oops:

Preserve Existing Environment Variable

What is the best way to avoid overwriting an existing environment variable?

I want to set system environment variable "CONFIG_DIR=ABCD" but if variable "CONFIG_DIR" is already defined then I don't want to change it.

Thanks for any guidance.

Re: Moving Existing File or Install if Not Exist

Sorted it out.

The log is in fact indicating that the file wasn't found. Needed to do some experimentation to find what was "normal".

The file wasn't found because "[APPDIR]" was specified as the location to search. This was the correct location but I'm guessing that it wasn't defined at the point ...

Re: Moving Existing File or Install if Not Exist

Don't think that will handle some of the more obscure use cases. e.g., user uninstalls previous version first. Although this will leave the MDB file, the install of new version will then overwrite it as it currently does.

Solution I'm currently pursuing is to run a search for the file and set the ...

Re: Moving Existing File or Install if Not Exist

Not sure whether this helps me?

We aren't using the SQL Scripts page. It's a Microsoft Access database i.e., a single ".mdb" file which has been pre-built with default tables etc during the build process. We just install it the same as any other file. For my purposes you can ignore the fact that it ...

Moving Existing File or Install if Not Exist

Can someone suggest the "correct" approach for dealing with this situation.

Earlier versions of our installer placed a database file under "C:\Program Files\Company\Product\" which was fine in Windows XP. However, we now install this file into the Common Application Data directory instead. When ...

Re: Pack200 Fails in ANT Script

Setting the JRE as you suggested seems to have fixed the problem. However, there were a few oddities.

I don't recall ever setting this on either machine. The machine where everything appeared to be working was set to the bin directory within JRE7. When I tried to take it up a level (i.e., drop off ...

Pack200 Fails in ANT Script

Just started working with Pack200 compression and LZMA compression. Both work fine when I build interactively on the machine where I prepare the .AIP Works fine on this machine with my ANT build scripts also.

However, when I attempt to run on the build server using the same scripts, every JAR file ...

Will the fix be in the next release or are we looking at a number of releases before it is fixed? Not urgent, just inconvenient.

Clearing Comments Field in Product Details

Is it possible to clear the "Comments" field in the "Product Details" section?

If it is cleared in version 5.1.1, the next time the project is opened it has reverted to "This installer database contains the logic and data required to install [|ProductName]."

Originally we had wanted to use a much ...

This continues to be a problem.

Can I get this raised as a bug as I'd prefer to revise the path for the application instance rather than alter the user's PATH just to work-around this issue?


THANKS
