Hello Kraig, I apologize for the delayed reply. I've tested this scenario as per your instructions and everything seemed to be working fine on my end: Screenshot_127.png Here's what I did: - built the VS project first - buit the AI project after - took the MSI and copied it on my VM - ran the MSI an...

Hello, As you mentioned, sometimes it is hard to keep up with the speed at which these packages are released, despite trying our best. If you want to add the latest version to your Advanced Installer project, you can proceed similarly to how you mentioned: - add the newer version manually as a prere...

Hello guys, As a followup and for whoever will stumble accross this in the future, the solution is to use the . AIC file, where you have to specifically use the /Save parameter in order to save the project. The project will not be modified by the edit commands specified in an AIC file. The Save comm...

Hello,

Unfortunately this has not yet been added.

However, I have increased the ticket's priority and hopefully it will be implemented in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Hello, I'm glad you managed to find the culprit. Normally, the AI_DATA_SETTER custom action is used to set the "CustomActionData" property, to further use it on the "Deferred" stage of the installation process, since other properties are not accessible during that. The main way o...

Hello, You are indeed right about that, it looks like I overcomplicated it on my end. Apologies for that. What you can do is indeed: - have two browse operations - have a "Set property" custom action that will set APPDIR to the desired value Note: the "Application Folder" value i...

Hello Luka, Thank you for going above and beyond. Say hello to Eusebiu. You are always welcome and sure, I've sent your regards to him. Now, regarding your question, it is possible to pass the command line by using the "Command line" field from the "Update Installer" tab. However...

Hello Goran, In order for me to run a test and further investigate this on my end, please forward me the following resources by email at support at advancedinstaller dot com : - a copy of the AIP file for the penultimate version (e.g. if the latest version is 2.0, please forward me the AIP file for ...

Hello,

What I'm thinking would help here is the use of "Synchronized folders", which will automatically remove the file if it was removed/moved from disk.

Other than that, I'm afraid I'm not aware of any method to bypass the "file not found" build error.

Best regards,
Catalin

Hello David and welcome to our forums, This is indeed an interesting scenario. What I'm thinking we can do is perhaps two different custom dialogs, the first where the customer selects the Website and then another one where he selects the Physical path. The only issue I see here is how the files wil...

Hello Kraig,

Apologies, it looks like I somehow overlooked your email.

In order for me to further test and investigate this, please forward me a test-case as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,
Catalin

You are always welcome, Stefan!

Glad I was able to assist. ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$

Thank you for your followup on this, Steve!

I'm glad to hear everything is working as expected now.

Best regards,

Hello Luka, I've actually talked to my colleague Eusebiu and he told me that at the time of that post, he was with the company for like 3 months, so the answer is indeed wrong. :) Also, is there some way of triggering the Wizard Dialogs stage in a hidden way or just briefly in order to accomplish th...

Hello Stefan, That might be happening because the feature that contains the file is not actually "reinstalled" so it overwrites the old value. To achieve what you want, you can proceed as it follows: - in "Components" page, move the data.xml component to a new feature, let's call...
