Re: How to define language of selected features msi

Hello Frank, That error may be thrown if your prerequisite package is not built to support more languages (it is not a multilingual package). The prerequisite in the frame setup calls the msi of documentation, not the .exe version. Is this the problem? I am not quite sure I understand this. Is your ...

Hello Srujan, By default, two installation processes can not happen at the same time. If you want to install another package during the "Install Execution" stage, please add your custom action at the end of the installation (e.g. after "Finish Execution" action group) and uncheck...

Re: Global XML Element Setting For Uninstall

Re: How to define language of selected features msi

Hello Frank, By "features", I believe you are refering to feature-based prerequisites (please correct me if I'm wrong). If that is the case, are these prerequisites built using Advanced Installer? I'm asking the above because I am not 100% sure this will work if they are not. However, you ...

Re: Silent installation by passing parameters

Hello Srujan, This is quite strange, indeed. You previously mentioned that your setup needs some parameters which you provide through the UI. When deploying the setup silently, did you also pass the parameters? You can pass the parameters as it follows: setup.exe /exenoui /qn YOUR_PROPERTY_1="v...

THe problem here is the fact that your install.bat file is executed at a time where there is no .BAT file on the machine. In order to fix this, please proceed as it follows:...

Re: Installer fails with 'Are you sure you want to cancel the installation?'

Hello Gerry, First of all, I am glad you have found a workaround for this. Please allow me to elaborate on your questions: One update: on Digital Signature page Enable Signing is NOT checked.
