Re: upgrading service now shows two versions in programs and features

Hello Mike, I may have found the culprit here. However, I will need you to test this scenario as you will need to modify the content of your service. Could you please modify your service so it starts the installation process with the following command line: msiexec /i <path_to_msi> /qn ALLUSERS=1 <r...

Re: Custom Install Paths and Major Upgrades

Hello, In order to set a folder for a feature, a property based folder must be used. For instance, you can create in "Install Parameters" page a new property. The drawback to this is the fact that you can not set, in "Install Parameters" page, a property that points to another pr...

Re: Global XML Element Setting For Uninstall

Hello, I have received the e-mail. Thank you for the provided sample project. The CTRL+A keys combination, what it does in fact, is to show the common UI for all the elements. The problem in your case is the fact that you have comment-type elements in your XML file. Since you can not check the "...

Re: Persistent properties during update don't seem to be persistent.

Hello Phil and welcome back to our forums, I've created a persistent property with a blank value, using the comments instead. I think this is how I create a persistent value. In order to create a persistent property, you have to check the "Set persistent property" checkbox for that propert...

Re: How to define language of selected features msi

Hello Frank, That error may be thrown if your prerequisite package is not built to support more languages (it is not a multilingual package). The prerequisite in the frame setup calls the msi of documentation, not the .exe version. Is this the problem? I am not quite sure I understand this. Is your ...

Hello Srujan, By default, two installation processes can not happen at the same time. If you want to install another package during the "Install Execution" stage, please add your custom action at the end of the installation (e.g. after "Finish Execution" action group) and uncheck...

Hello, This is quite strange, indeed. I have tested this once again and everything worked as expected on our end. Please see the video below: https://www.screencast.com/t/DBiubluRFXsa Could you please let me know what version of Advanced Installer you are using (I have tested this using v16.9)? Best...

Re: How to define language of selected features msi

Hello Frank, By "features", I believe you are refering to feature-based prerequisites (please correct me if I'm wrong). If that is the case, are these prerequisites built using Advanced Installer? I'm asking the above because I am not 100% sure this will work if they are not. However, you ...
