Updater for different components, and scheduler
Hi there,
We have a VB6 application which has an Access database and associated Word documents, and would like to add Updater support.
Scheduling.
The documentation says that the updater can be scheduled using Windows Task Scheduler. Is it also possible to make it run as a service, checking ...

We're using path variables for our application files to install.
However, we have vbs files and SQL scripts which we want to run, which are also under the same path as our files to install.
is there a way to use path variables to define the location of the attached action vbs files and ...

Re: Update existing IIS virtual directory
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the information - I'll try using VBS.
It would be a good enhancement to Advanced Installer to be able to update an existing virtual directory.

Update existing IIS virtual directory
Hi all,
I need to install a new version of our web application and update the existing virtual directory to point to the new files.
Can someone point me in the right direction, please? I can only see options to create a new virtual directory.
Thanks a lot,
James

Single installer with different components depending on box
Hi there,
We've got a system which consists of components, each of which is to be installed on a different server.
I'd like to have a single installer in which the user can indicate which server they are on, and for the installer to install the appropriate software on the server. The APPDIR ...

Parameter not being set from VBS
Hi there,
We need to allow the user to specify the environment on which they're installing, and set installation parameters accordingly.
To this end I've done the following.
1. Created a new DatabaseServer installation parameter, [DatabaseServer], with a default value of 'MyDbServer'
2. Created a ...

Re: Update status during Custom Action
Hi Cosmin,
Thanks - however the Action Text button is disabled for my Custom Action.
Settings are:
Source Type: vbs script
Execution properties: Synchronous, check return code
Execution options: Immediate execution
Scheduling Options: Always Execute

Update status during Custom Action
I've got my "backup of existing software" custom action working now, using a vbscript file being run as a custom action, which is great.
Is it possible to have the installer display a meaningful status message above the progress bar while it's running the custom action?
Thanks,
James

Re: Debug a vbs script
Hi Cosmin,
I've found the solution, although it needs a registry hack. :D
Before running the installer, set the following registry value to 1, to force Just In Time (JIT) debugging for Windows scripting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script\Settings\JITDebug

Re: Debug a vbs script
Hi Cosmin,
Thanks - yes that works. However, because wscript.exe is being run as a separate process, the installer properties aren't available. I think I'm going to have to resort to writing debug info to a text file as you suggested earlier.

James

Re: Debug a vbs script
Hi Cosmin,
Yes I've seen that article, and tried it. The problem is setting up the environment so that the Installer properties are available to the script. Any thoughts?
