Re: Action data maximum length?
Hmmm... I found it. My bad. Incorrect way: string actionData = session.CustomActionData.ToString(); Correct way: string actionData = session["CustomActionData"]; They will differ. The incorrect way will treat the whole string as key/value and omit duplicate ones. Took me some hours to figu...

Re: Action data maximum length?
Hi Catalin, Thank you for your reply. I think I have found the issue. The action data I pass to my custom action looks simplified like this: [PARAM_1]|[PARAM_2]|[PARAM_3]|[PARAM_4]|[PARAM_5] In the custom action I get the string like so: string customData = session.CustomActionData.ToString(); Each ...

Action data maximum length?
Hi, When I pass a large string (around 300 characters) through action data (using installer properties) to a custom action that runs deferred some the string seems to be missing. Is there a maximum length that can be passed? Or is there a maxmum length what each install parameter can be? Thanks, Reg...

Re: Catch installer error code
Here is my solution to get the exit code. Implemented a custom action that runs this code: ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(); processStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false; processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; processStartInfo.FileName = filename; processStartInfo.WindowStyle...

Catch installer error code
Hi, In my installer I'm using the custom action LaunchFileFromProperty to install SQL Server Express 2017 with command line parameters in quiet mode. This happens when the user presses the install button in my last installer dialog. Most of the times it works fine but occasionally the SQL Server Exp...

Re: Always install prerequisite doesn't work
Hi Catalin,
Ok. It will take some time to get you the stripped down AI-file that you can use to reproduce the error. I'll try having it for you by the end of the week.

Jan

Re: Always install prerequisite doesn't work
I ended up changing it to be a custom action (LaunchFileFromProperty) that is triggered by the Install button, instead of being a pure prerequisite. It worked out in the end.

Re: Always install prerequisite doesn't work
I have been struggling with this. I think my approach is incorrect. Instead of trying to install SQL Server 2017 Express as a prerequisite, maybe I should install it using a custom action each time the user selects to create a new instance from the installer dialogs (since it should be possible to i...

Re: Always install prerequisite doesn't work
Adding to this question. What I want to achieve is installing SQL Server Express 2017 (as a prerequisite) each time the user selects to create a new instance of the SQL Server in the installer dialog. I don't want the installer to evaluate a registry key to check if SQL Server Express 2017 is instal...

Always install prerequisite doesn't work
Hi, Thank you for an awesome install product! My feature based prerequisite (SQL Server Express 2017) installs fine when "Install prerequisite based on condition" is selected. When I switch to use "Always install prerequisite" AI does not even try to install the prereq. It seems ...

Re: Text labels vanish mysteriously when pressing the tab button
It seems to me that something is corrupt in the project file itself causing this to happen. When I export the dialog to a repository and import to another project it works.
