Re: 64 bit registry permission does not take effect if "Keep existing permissions" is checked

How would this Custom Action/s look if I want to set the permissions on both the 64-bit registry and the WOW6432Node registry in 64-bit OS and 32-bit OS? Can you give a concrete example? Also, I still don't see the bugfix listed in the 12.5.1 release notes. Was it intentionally dropped from the list...

Re: 64 bit registry permission does not take effect if "Keep existing permissions" is checked

Is there a workaround that can be done for 12.4? We'd like to hold off upgrading since it may require more time w/c would delay our release.

Also, why is the fix not listed in 12.5.1 release?

64 bit registry permission does not take effect if "Keep existing permissions" is checked

I sent this issue thru email 2 days ago and still haven't got a reply so I thought I might try here. We'd like to report what seems like a bug when setting 64 bit registry permissions w/ "Keep existing permissions" checked. With this setting, the installer doesn't seem to add the permissio...

Re: Message PopUp in silent Installtion

For future reference, another way is to get the CLIENTPROCESSID via Session object, then get the process' main window handle, create a NativeWindow instance, assign the main window handle to it, and then use the NativeWindow instance as the owner parameter to MessageBox.Show().

Re: Install directory relative to another

@Blueberry thanks for this hint, I was able to set APPDIR to the install location in my patch. For some reason unknown to me, APPDIR is empty on the start of patch execution.

Re: Filesystem permissions do not flow to sub folders

This has been working for quite a while, but the only problem is this shows the command window. I tried the following and I somehow can't get them to work as I still end up with the permissions not applied on subfolders and files. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?... http://www.advancedinstaller.com/...

http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashpl ... player.exe no longer works. My installer fails during prerequisite installation because of this. Did adobe change the URL? Is there a new URL I can use?

I tried to follow this post here. http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8703 But, somehow I still don't see my reg keys getting removed. What am I doing wrong? I even placed MessageBox.Show inside the VBS just to see if they get called but no message box appears. Is there a...

Re: Registry key removal on uninstall

I'm having the same issue. I tried to resolve it by applying the same fix @werelord made but this causes the registry key to be removed when uninstall is done via upgrade (and even with the condition (AI_CLEAN_RESOURCES_UNINSTALL = "1") AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) in place). My requirem...

Currently only one user is having this problem as far as I know. It used to happen on a few end-user machines as well, but the workaround reported was that they had to use an old installer and never upgrade to the latest one. We discourage not upgrading of course, else we will never know what's goin...

Re: Filesystem permissions do not flow to sub folders

Well, well... apparently there's a way. It seems setting the folder permission via the Permission tab only applies the permission to "This folder only". What we want is to apply to "This folder, subfolders and files". This can be done via custom action as follows: Create a "...
