Hi,

Please note that /justcheck doesn't use a check frequency, it's immediate. For immediate silent checks you can use /checknow with -minuseractions.

Hi, MSI Installer showed error that “Directory Manager not initialized.” It looks like one of the merge modules is calling ResolveSource standard action before CostInitialize. I noticed that some custom actions were executed before ResolveSource, so perhaps one of them triggered it: - setUserProfile...

Hi, Unfortunately this cannot be done for the Windows Installer launch conditions (the ones checked by the MSI). Windows Installer evaluates conditions one at a time and stops immediately if the current one is not met. However, we will consider including these improvements in the EXE bootstrapper. I...

Hi,

This is already supported by Visual Studio through build events. Simply create a build event which executes the commands you need.

Hi,

Fragment files cannot be opened directly in Advanced Installer. But they are simple XML files, just like .AIP project files. So you can open them with a text editor and modify them (text editing).

Hi,

We added this improvement on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version. Thank you for your suggestion.

Hi, This is already supported. You can show the notes pane by using Notes button in View ribbon tab, or by using the View -> Info Panes -> Notes Pane application menu on older Windows version. Notes cannot be added for individual control events, but you can add them for each dialog. Regards, Cosmin

Hi Moritz, After hours of investigation we found out that the "FileVersion" detection just didn't work. That's strange. Can you please give me more details? Did you use a file installed by the update package? Why can't the Updater.exe show more expressive error messages like "Error: T...

Hi Gary, For chained installations the main progress bar is controlled by Windows Installer. So there's not much we can do about it. However, a solution would be to add your packages as feature-based prerequisites instead of chained packages. This way the progress will be more accurate. Regards, Cos...

Hi,

Yes, we are planning to support App-V 5.0. I can't offer an ETA for now, but it will be included in a future version.

Hi,

During the build process Advanced Installer uses whatever content the files have on disk. So you can simply include the files in your project, modify them on disk and then build. So your script can simply modify the source files on disk and trigger a build.

Hi Binyam, If you are using a database file, you can simply add it in Files and Folders page. If you are using a script to create the database, you can configure it in SQL Scripts page. You can also add an SQL Server prerequisite in Prerequisites page to make sure that SQL Server is installed. Regar...
