Re: How to prevent Uninstall from removing folders?
I was able to resolve this problem via this hint in your documentation ... using Method 1.
Haven't tested with an upgrade/update yet, so will have to see if this is really going to work for me.

Re: Custom Action that displays a Window behind AI Dialog?
IGNORE this post, I was able to resolve the issue via my application code to force my message window to display in front of the AI Dialog.
In my case, I just need to adjust my code and subscribe to the activated event (on my window) and then do a this.Focus().

Re: How to uninstall if custom action fails?
Hi Catalin, I think you mis-understood my post and/or I wasn't very clear in my post. The default behavior I was referencing is here: CustomActionDefaults.jpg By default you folks have this "Checked" ... IMHO, it should be "Unchecked" by default. Thanks for the link, very helpful...

Custom Action that displays a Window behind AI Dialog?
I've tried just about everything to get my CustomAction that runs exe that has a window that prompts the user to be "focused" on top of the AI Dialog, but nothing seems to work. Is there some setting in AI that I can check to say give my CustomAction EXE topmost focus?
Cheers, Rob.

How to prevent Uninstall from removing folders?
I'm running a custom action on Uninstall that will prompt the user to keep or discard application data. Which works fine. However, AI will always remove the folders even if data in those folders have been modified by the user and more recent than the original files installed. Reading your documentat...

Re: Not being prompted on Uninstall for Data Cleanup?
UPDATED information: UninstallCleanUp.jpg AIDialogs0.jpg AIDialogs1.jpg With the Uninstall Cleanup Wizard, if I only check "On a full UI Uninstall" it suggests I need to use a "VerifyRemoveDlg" which as you can see is NOT available when I'm in the Dialogs section of AI. Perhaps t...

Re: Control Panel icon not showing?
Hi Catalin, The issue seems to be related to updating from v18.1 to v18.2. I touch nothing with my AI project other than "build" after updating AI to v18.2 (original project was created with v18.0). However, when I reselected the icon in my AI project and then perform another build, this s...

Re: Not being prompted on Uninstall for Data Cleanup?
Hi Catalin,
Unfortunately this is NOT working for me on version 18.2 (Pro not enterprise).
I don't get prompted per the Theme I was using (BlackSurface). Here is my setup:
Thoughts?
