Hello, What I find a bit confusing is this: - the MSI install the prerequisite and then uninstall them after that the installation freeze Could you please ellaborate more on this? How is the prerequisite installed and then uninstalled during the same installation process of the main package? Or even...

Hello Markus, First of all, I am glad you managed to find a workaround for the issue. Now, regarding the Powershell script, have you tried setting it as 64-bit? If so, did it help? Pretty sure that the 64-bit option should launch the 64-bit version of Powershell from the system. Best regards, Catalin

Hello Zsolt,

You are always welcome! ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$

Regarding your question, I'm afraid that might not be possible currently.

However, I will discuss with our dev team to see whether or not we can improve our current support.

Hello Markus, If the script is not running, I would advise checking the execution policy set on that LTSB2016 machine. To do so, you can open a PowerShell and then run the following cmdlet: Get-ExecutionPolicy . For more information about execution policies, please refer to the following article: ab...

Hello and welcome to our forums, The fact that this only reproduces on one customer's machine means it will be quite hard to investigate, as most likely it's a corner case. I honestly can not think of any reason why setting the property would fail. Does your customer have any AV software installed? ...

You are always welcome, Goran.

I am glad that I was able to assist.

Hello Ian, Is there a way to centralise where all temp files are located during a build of a project? (I've not found any documentation on this yet). I'm afraid that is not possible. However, I think you can whitelist the %temp% folder together with the build folder and that should suffice. Hope thi...

Hello, If the EXE that you are trying to launch through a custom action is an actual installer, I would advise adding it as a prerequisite in the "Prerequisites" page. In that page, you can define the installation conditions so that the prerequisite (the ODBC driver) is only installed if i...

Hello, This might happen if the "Ask me at every change" option is set for your Version field in the "Product Details" page. For more details, please have a look over the following thread which discusses a similar problem: Never ask to "Generate new Product Code" Hope t...

Hello, Indeed, I have noticed as well that the documentation regarding framework prerequisites is quite slim and I have created a task so this can be improved in the future. The "framework" option is meant for some prerequisites which are more "troublesome" by design. One example...

Hello Matthew and welcome to our forums, Please note that the Surface theme (the one that you are using) requires a features called "Enhanced User Interface" which itself requires the use of an EXE setup. That being said, that's why your MSI UI looks quite malformed, because the Windows In...
