Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, I have tested this scenario, but I was not able to replicate the described behavior.

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

Hello Gerry, Thank you for the provided files. I have had a look over the sent .EXE file and indeed it seems that it is not signed. I have also run the setup (.EXE) and, to my surprise, everything worked as expected. This makes me think that there might be something related to your development machi...

Re: Microsoft Build Tools Installer fails when running within my Installer

Hello Andreas, Thank you for your followup on this. I have downloaded the setup and I managed to install it from Advanced Installer. Basically, the setup is failing because there is another installation happening at the same time (as exposed in the log file). To avoid this, we need to launch the set...

Re: Uninstall Crystal Reports Runtime before isntalling as new prerequisite

Hello Andreas, To be fully honest with you, I can not say for sure why the package is not uninstalled. I will try to run few tests on our end and see what I can find. In what regards your second scenario, if the package is an MSI, then you can run msiexec with the repair option, e.g.: msiexec /f {pr...

Re: Microsoft Build Tools Installer fails when running within my Installer

Hello Andreas, There are indeed some installers which can not be installed as feature-based prerequisites (as you mentioned, an example of that would be the "SQL Server" - older versions - or ".NET Framework"). A solution to this would be to add your prerequisite as a pre-install...

Re: How to define language of selected features msi

Hello Frank, Is there another place to define the supported languages of an msi than in "User Interface -> Tanslations -> Languages tab"? Perhaps i have missed a Checkbox anywhere No, the "Translations" page is where you should define the languages. In what regards your prerequis...

Re: Custom Install Paths and Major Upgrades

Hello, Could you go into a little more detail on when this issue might occur? I went back and verified that this was allowed in AI 14.3 (we recently upgraded from). We had made heavy use of the ability to make these properties public (all caps). Changing to property-based folders would be a signific...

Re: File Permissions

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, Please keep in mind that the WindowsApps folder, the one where you are placing your configuration file, is a heavily protected folder with very restrictive permissions. By default, none of your scenarios should be possible. It should not be possible fo...

Re: unable to execute the embeded application

Hello,

That error is an error thrown by the SQL Server installer itself. Unfortunately, I can not say why this happens.

Is the installation successful on a 64-bit machine?

If so, please make sure that you are not using an x64 bit installer.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Catalin
