Hi Dan, Many thanks for the reply. The links that you mentioned are helpful. However, using exit code is not an option for me as the Updater.exe is not exiting and will continue running residing in the System tray. This is because, when it hits an error (say network disconnection in the middle of do...

Hi, It would be good if we get a way to catch the fail event if the Updater.exe of Advanced Installer fails for some reason. Right now, it will just show a Systray notification saying Advanced Updater failed. In my use case, its a PerMachine upgrade and happens in silent mode, so if the user doesn't...

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to use our own EXE that returns the 64-bit path irrespective of the package type? Maybe running this EXE as a custom action? But I am not sure how we can save this data that's returned by this EXE even if this way is possible. Thanks in advance. Prasad

Hi Mihai,

Thanks for the reply.

Whether my installer has to be a 64-bit package? Or whether the Outlook installation needs to be a 64-bit installation?

Thanks

Hi, I have included a search in my installer which searches for Outlook.exe. This will be under HKLM\Software\Windows\Current Version\App Paths\Outlook.exe with a Path key (HKLM\Software\Windows\Current Version\App Paths\Outlook.exe\Path). The problem is, this Path key contains "C:\Program File...

Hi Daniel, Many thanks for the info. I spent few days on this and I was able to wait for Updater.exe from my code. But later I ended up with some UI issues as I do the update by keeping my main application running. So right now I am just showing a progress bar (indefinite) and running the updater in...

Hi Mihai,

Many thanks for the detailed reply.

I have a professional license. So I am not able to edit the exit dialog and the controls in it.

Is there a way in a professional license?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I need to start a different application at the end of installation. This will be depending on the registry entries. For example, launching Outlook application. End user will be in different versions like 2010, 2013 etc. So I need to check the registry entries and launch the respective file accor...
