Maybe I didn't make it clear enough.

Part of my installation is DLL that program A may or may not be accessing at the time the installation is initiated (it is separate application). If it was being accessed then the installation would not install the dll (can't overwrite dll that is currently ...

Conditional install if process is running

I need to abort installation, with custom message, if certain process is running.

I can not kill that process, I can only prompt user to exit it and try installation again.

Is there some easy way to do this? I tried custom action which kills the msiexec process if the running process is detected ...

Licensing

Today, I downloaded version 4.7.2 of Advanced installer.
Yes, I received the warning that my Maintenance period expired, but since I'm interested in bug fixes and not the updates, and since it allowed me to download anyway, I proceeded.

After install, I received message that it will revert my ...

Yes, the problem indeed still persists. Unfortunatelly I had to find out after the CD's shipped to customers. It happens on some machines, it doesn't happen on others. That's all I can tell you right now.

Pop-up when removing last CD in multi-CD installation

Whe I run multi-CD install, sometimes when the last CD is ejected after installation is completed, message that setup.exe can't be found pops up. The setup.exe is on first CD only, but adding it to last CD doesn't seem to help.

Interestingly, the msiexe is still running at that time even though the ...

I was wondering about this because I may have a need to do it eventualy, too.

I figured that I could find the process by name (MSIEXEC) (GetProcessByName) and just kill it. Since the msiexec is doing nothing at the time (just waiting for the custom action's return value), I think it would be safe ...

Uninstall - files not removed

I know this must be something silly, but so far I was unable to figure it out...

I'm installing all the files into folder that already exists (was previously installed by other installation application) and already has some files in it. My app is just a DLL to be part of the other application ...

Thank you for your help - I must have missed the document in user guides...

One more question, this doesn't seem to be covered: If I have multiple billboards on the same dialog (usually progress dialog), can I switch between them at some pre-set intervals, or perhaps link the billboard updates to ...

Custom dialogs

Is there any way to display custom dialogs with some instructions or advertisement while the installation is in progress? Something like Windows installation does...

Thanks for your suggestions.
