Hey there,
I tried to follow the steps mentioned here http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... -file.html. But this seems to be outdated as I cannot find the variable [AI_OFN_FILEPATH] nor the event "doAction" (I assume it is "Execute custom action").

Re: Writing Files from CustomAction .VBS File
Yes, I do. The attached failure happens at the end of installing the debugger.
It says: "Error at creating the process <C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Script Debugger\msscrdbg.exe /regserver>. Reason:" I could not find any hint to it via google.

Re: Writing Files from CustomAction .VBS File
Ok It works. My Custom action Execution Stage was set to "Maintenance" instead of "Install".
Regarding this: How do I debug a .VBS custom action?
The Debugger installation fails on all my machines.

Re: When is "APPDIR" available in VB script?
Yeah information seem to be wide spreaded over the net. Passing my property as "Action Data" did not work either the property was also empty. The only way was to pass the argument to a "Launch installed file" action and this does not make sense to me. I agree that the core proble...

Re: When is "APPDIR" available in VB script?
I now made a workaround by launching my script drom a .VBS file. This can be run deferred AND I am able to pass [APPDIR] as an argument.

Re: Uninstallation does not remove files
Hi Dan, I realized that I marked all XML files as such when importing the JBoss folder. This was not necessary as I did not need to change them during the installation. After I imported all files as "normal" files instead of XML files the uninstallation worked as expected. Thanx so far, An...

Re: Non-deterministic behaviour on re-install
Hi Dan,
that makes sense. So whenever I built a new package the old one was uninstalled automatically (though I did not change the ProductID). But in the seldom cases that I just ran a built package again, I got the modifying dialog.
Thanx for the explanation,
Angelo

Hi, when building an MSI package I am doing the same routine over and over again: installing, testing, modifying the MSI package and installing again. Mostly the installer automatically uninstalls the previous installation before installing the new one. Bur sometimes I does not. Then I get a dialog ...
