Error openin file while creating CAB
I'm trying to build another installer for my software and facing this issue: when building, AI complains that it cannot open XML and TXT files. Previously (I'm using the same project file) build worked very well without issues, but now it doesn't work. I can confirm that files are available and are ...

Re: Custom MSI switch
sounds good. Is there a way to rename this checkbox to some user-friendly name? I see, there are multiple references to checkbox name.

Custom MSI switch
In the MSI dialog manager I modified FolderDlg by adding a checkbox there. If checkbox is unchecked, default path is used, when checked -- an alternate path is used. I created corresponding events, so in GUI it works. The question is: is there a way to attach a command-line switch, so end user can s...

Re: MSI signing with smart card -- too many prompts
If your certificate file doesn't have a password, then this option will be hidden There is no password, because the certificate is stored on smart card, rather than PKCS#12/PFX file. Starting with version 11.2 of Advanced Installer we have added an improvement so that multiple files can be signed a...

Re: MSI signing with smart card -- too many prompts
Sorry for delayed response.
No, I can't enable this option as it is not showing in the Digital Signature page. I'm using AI 10,9. Maybe, it was added to newer versions?

MSI signing with smart card -- too many prompts
I'm using a signing certificate (from digicert) which is stored on a smart card. When I create and build an MSI I'm receiving too many PIN prompts for smart card during the single build. It can be more than 10 prompts (depending on a binary files count in the project) at the time, it is way annoying.

Re: Add published events (dialog editor)
Yes, I'm concerning on installation paths only. I've decided to use only per-machine installs (and request elevation if necessary), so only administrators can install it and my solution is sufficient for me.

Re: Add published events (dialog editor)
First of all, you should know that Advanced Installer offers you a predefined dialog from which the user can select the install type, you can simply add it from our list of predefined ones yep. However I was unable to figure how it works and how do I specify the path depending on active radiobutton...

Add published events (dialog editor)
I'm looking to slightly imporove user experience with installation paths depending on setup type (for all users or current users). I've started with dialogs — edited FolderDlg by adding 2 radiobuttons (choice — install for current user or for all users). Default value is AllUsers. My thought is to a...

[APPDIR] mappings
I've searched through this forum, but was unable to find a related topic. My package installs additions (they are platform independant) for a built-in Windows application, that is available in both, x86 and x64 boxes. In order to support cross-platform installations, I've decided to use mixed 32/64-...

Re: A1 8.8 Signing Files
It seems that AI fails if a certificate contains Key Usage extension (regardless of the extension value or extension criticality status). As far as I understand, the problem is in certificate filtering process. When you select a certificate from the store — it displays all certificates from the Pers...

Re: A1 8.8 Signing Files
I can confirm this issue. I'm storing my signing certificate on Smart Card. However certificate selection UI displays it as active (smart card CSP copies certificate public part to the personal store).
