Re: Path Variable

Hello,

When creating a new environment variable, you can see that it is added/removed on a component install/uninstall. Basically, this means that it is created at install time.

With that being said, it is not possible to use it with your UserLicenseAgreement dialog.

Best regards,
Catalin

Re: Leave common applications' feature on uninstall

Hello Tanya and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, Here is how I would go about this: Create an installation package for each of your applications (A, B and C). After doing so, I would create a wrapper for all the 3 above (basically a package that installs the 3 above). Please refer to the "...

Re: Windows Calculator

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, Unfortunately, I am not aware of how that can be achieved. I think that here you could try to contact Microsoft Support team and maybe they can provide the .MSIX package (if there is any) for the Windows Calculator app. Please let me know if there is a...

Re: Dialog when Windows version is not supported

Hello, As a followup to my last response: After further investigations, I think I may have found another way in which this can be achieved. However, unfortunately, this requires a newer version of Advanced Installer to make it work. The solution is a custom one (using a custom action). Basically, a ...

Hello Aaron, Thanks, I'm impressed you went back and tried on an old version! You are always welcome. It's always my pleasure to try and help. :) I have retested this scenario and I may have found the culprit. The "Launch Conditions" table (from the "Table Editor" page) indeed re...

Re: Dialog when Windows version is not supported

Hello, This is strange. I have tested this scenario using the 11.6.3 version of Advanced Installer (the closes I could find to 11.6.1) and everything worked as expected on my side. After changing the description from "Table Editor" page, did you rebuild the project? 1.png 2.png 3.png 4.png...

Re: Launch custom file after install

Hello, This might be happening if your program is returning, upon exit, an error != 0. Windows Installer interprets any error code that is different than 0 as a failure, therefore the message you are getting. The fact that your program is launched as expected means that there is no problem with the ...

Re: Bad behaviour when using Test ODBC Connection dialog

Hello Jaime, First of all, there is a mistake in that page. That is not actually a mistake. Most of the time, the default PORT (1433) is used, therefore it is not a must to specify the PORT in the SQL Connection String. However, when the connection succeeds, the same dialog is kept. I have to click ...
