Hello Peter, From your details so far, I am thinking that perhaps the PowerShell custom action executes and modifies the file prior to the custom action that reverts the file. If you own an Enterprise license or above, we can check this by going to the "Table Editor" page --> "Install...

Hello, We ship our installer to French and Japanese customers. Should I be worried about this? Is there some step I should take to fix it? Not quite, and yes. You can translate those by going to "Translations" page --> "Project Strings" tab. Screenshot_135.png Hope this helps! Be...

Hello Andrii,

Thanks for the sent files.

Let's continue the thread over the forum for now so we avoid duplicates.

Hello, So I've tested and investigated this, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the bottom of it just yet. At least for now, we have the ps2exe workaround which seems to be working fine. I will continue my investigations and will let you know if I will be able to find anything useful. Thank y...

Hello, In order to check for an upgrade, you can use the OLDPRODUCTS property . This property will be set to the previous version ProductCode if an upgrade is in place, otherwise it will be empty. Since you do not care about its' value, we can use it as it follows: OLDPRODUCTS this would imply the p...

Hello Andrii, Do you want to see AV logs, did I understand you correctly? No, not quite. I was just curious if the AV somehow complained about the script execution, but this doesn't really make sense as it would block the entire script not just one cmdlet. Do you think it would be possible to replac...

Hello,

You are always welcome, glad to hear everything is working as expected.

Hello, Indeed, the search you have configured is executed during the "Search" action group from the Custom Actions page. What you can do to work this around is doing the search thorugh a custom action and then using the respective command to set the APPDIR property. How to set an installer...

Hey James and welcome to our forums,

Let's try to continue this over the email thread we already have going on.

This is currently under investigation on my end and I will followup as soon as I will have more information.

Hello and welcome to our forums, This strange behavior might exhibit due to multiple causes. One that I can think of might be the use of the 4th field in the Product Version - How do I remove the old version when using the fourth field of the Product Version? FAQ might help here. Could you please ru...

Hello and welcome to our forums, I have to admit that I might not be the most experienced when it comes to WDAC. So far, the solution I've found to be able to run MSI packages was to have the certificate installed on the machine. Please allow me some more time to test and investigate this and I will...

Hello Mike, Thank you for your followup on this and for the shared steps. This is happening due to some internal logic that is going on behind the scenes. What you can do, if you want to hide those buttons, is to select it and then create a Control Condition that will hide/disable it. Screenshot_134...

Hello, For many users, installing and uninstalling software involves navigating menus and clicking buttons. But beneath the graphical interface (GUI) lies a powerful command-line world, and within that world resides PowerShell. PowerShell offers an efficient and customizable way to manage software o...

Hello Mike,

I am not quite sure why this is happening.

In order for me to further investigate this, could you please let me know what theme you are using and a test-case (e.g. the steps you are taking in order to reproduce this)?

Best regards,
Catalin

Hello Chris, Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. As per my observations so far, it looks like this behavior does not exhibit when the "Framework" option is checked. I've noticed this by observing the behavior for .NET Framework 4.8.1 which does not have the same outcome. Best regards, Ca...
