Hello Zsolt, We do indeed make our own search in what regards the "Default Web Site", but unfortunately we do not save the result anywhere (in a property), therefore I'm afraid we cannot use this as a condition. In this scenario, we will have to go with a custom approach. In our custom act...

Hello Gerry, From what I see in the sigcheck.exe results, none of your .EXE or .MSI files are signed. Question: Is there a way extract the .MSI file from the executable itself, to run sigcheck on it? Yes. You can extract the MSI file out of your EXE file by running the following command line: setup....

You are always welcome, Mike!

I am really sorry this took so long, but as you have noticed yourself, it was really hard to find and isolate the behavior.

Anyway, I am really glad we managed to find the culprit and get this working.

Hello Joseph and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, Indeed, the explanation of why this happens can be found in the article you've linked. Our theory is that throughout the different installs/uninstalls, at one point something got botched and windows still thinks there's a separate resource that ...

Hello Srujan, Thank you for the explanation. I have explained how you can verify if the installation was successful in my last thread. I will paste it here just in case: - you can check Control Panel and see if your application was installed - you can check Event Viewer to see if your application wa...

Hello Mike, That was my reaction as well. Normally, if the files is in use, the system should prevent that. However, since you are running the process under the System account, which haves full privileges (even higher than an Administrator), this seems to be possible. I was speechless when I found o...

Hello Simon, Unfortunately, I was ill last week, so I couldn't test your solution. No worries about this. I hope you feel better now. I am really glad the solution worked for you. Now let's address your issue. Indeed, if the file is not present, then the PowerShell script will fail (this is the expe...

Hello,

In order to achieve this, you can use our predefined "Launch EXE with Working Directory" custom action. This custom action will allow you to select the working directory of your executable.

Hello Diego, When "Não" is selected, simply do not install SQL. If that is the case, then you can proceed as it follows: - open your Advanced Installer project - go to "Dialogs" page - select the Radio Button Group control - when selecting it, please have a look on the right pane...

Hello Mike, I was finally able to manually replicate this behavior on my end. Long story short, this issue is happening because the MSI file is deleted before the installation. Basically, your MSI file is downloaded in the "Updates" folder, which is deleted when the older product is uninst...

Hello Mike,

I've performed the first test and I reproduced the issue.

There is currently no agent connected to it as I reverted the machine to perform some further test.

Will notify you with what I find.

Best regards,
Catalin
