Is there any chance of a fix to this bug? We've tried to replace the code with a VBscript custom action as per your workaround to launch the application and a button to launch the URL from the finish form but they launch *behind* the installer. It's also a pretty nasty hack when we really want to us...

However when I use [USR_LOCAL_SERVICE] as the username for a Windows Service the service is installed as LOCALSYSTEM. If I install the same service with NT AUTHORITY\Local Service as the username it installs correctly as NT AUTHORITY\Local Service. Is this a bug? Should [USR_LOCAL_SERVICE] resolve t...

Having tried this bewarned running commands after Finish Execution that fail cause all kinds of problems, and stop the installer from rolling back.

Yes I just ran into this. It would be nice to have an AdvancedInstaller set permissions custom action which we could call later rather than cobbling together a script or using cacls.

We fixed it by just bundling the ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server and configuring AI to use that specific driver. Driver={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};Server=[DATABASE_INSTANCE]; Trusted_Connection=yes; Database=[DATABASE_NAME] As a feature request it would be good for Advanced Installer to support a...

Hello we currently use the {SQL Server} ODBC driver which isn't compatible with TLS 1.0 being disabled. If we want to use the new SQL OBDC driver or SQL native client how do we do this? We don't want to hard code "SQL Native Client 11" or "SQL Native Client 12" in the list howeve...

Hello, Yes this has resolved the issue and has been tested our client and server products, thank you! I would definitely recommend that this is mentioned in the UI or the help because this setting does suggest that the setup will be run as Administrator, whereas this doesn't apply to Add/Remove prog...

davidjhomer

Yes, exactly what I was looking for! "This issue is not related to Advanced Installer." Well it is related to Advanced Installer because it doesn't elevate unless you tick this box. This works with the sample, we will now fully test this with our main application and confirm that this is n...

I tried calling support, no-one answers and left a voicemail.

We've clearly presented a bug in UAC elevation during uninstallation but no one in support is willing to listen. I'm getting very nervous now with the large number of security related bugs we are reporting to you with this product.

Hello, At the request of support the installer has been modified so that the uninstall custom action occurs before the "Remove Resources" stage. This does NOT fix the issue. The .aip file is attached. Here is the application compiled http://www.centrel-solutions.com/temp/breakingapp.exe Th...

Thank you for the reply, please let me know as soon as possible when there is a solution. Our customers cannot remove our software unless they have the specific Administrator user credentials.

Thanks,

Dave

We have a major issue with uninstalls failing to work 1. Create a new project that has a folder called "Secure" set the NTFS permissions so that only SYSTEM and Administrators can access the folder. 2. Place in the folder cacls.exe (this is just an example our project this would be a Windo...
