Hi Catalin,
can you tell me a bit more about this new feature? Where can I select what? Do you have a link to the changed part of the documentation?
Best regards,
Simon

Launched exe stays in background
Hi all, I did some research in this forum and found out that for an application being launched by the installer to be in the foreground, it might be necessary to select "Run under the LocalSystem account with full privileges (no impersonation)" for a custom Action "Launch File". ...

Re: Upgrade an installed build with another build
Just to keep you updated: Today, I was able to install the latest small build on a machine with the big build already installed. Maybe just some special versions didn't work together... I will continue to have a look on this issue, but for now, it seems like, the thread can be closed...

Re: Upgrade an installed build with another build
But I need to use four fields (see the linked thread) in order to be able to install an internal upgrade on our test machines. When I used three fields, I could not upgrade version 9.0.0.12000 to 9.0.0.12005.

Re: Upgrade an installed build with another build
Hello Catalin, I already had implemented the upgrade rule "Include maximum version in range" as you suggested here: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=45257 upgrade.PNG When I try to install a newer version of the "large" setup (including SQL) everyt...

Re: Clickable image with link behind
Hi Catalin,
thank you very much for your very detailed description. I tried your approach with another image and it now works as expected.
Best regards,
Simon

Upgrade an installed build with another build
Hi team, in the past (using our old installer logic) we always have been offering two builds of the same project (one including an SQL Express Setup and one without SQL) and we would like to continue that approach in the future. I have installed one build (including SQL)(e.g. version 9.0.0.12000) on...

Re: Clickable image with link behind
Hello Catalin, can you tell me a little bit about the expected dimensions for a custom image that is added in such a dialog. For example, when I try to add this image calendar@256px.png it looks in the installer like this: customimage.PNG What am I doing wrong? I assume that it comes from the fact t...

Re: Install SQL Server Express as post install script
Hello Catalin,
unfortunately, that does not work. I took the sample project that you sent me via email and only moved the feature based prerequisite to the post-install stage:
I get the error that another installation is already in progress.
So what should I do?

Re: Extract Substring from Product Version
Hello Catalin, after having changed the upgrade rule, I encounter the following problem: I can install one package normally on a virtual machine (e.g. version 9.0.0.12000) When I try to install a newer version (e.g. version 9.0.0.12005), I always get an error that the first custom action after the &...

Install SQL Server Express as post install script
Hi support team! I would like my installer to install SQL Express Edition and afterwards launch an installed exe to do some configuration on the database. I managed to install the sql server after the installation by scheduling a custom action after the "InstallFinalize" Execution stage on...

Extract Substring from Product Version
Our software is using a four part version (e.g. 9.0.0.12865) where the last part (12865) only reflects the Changeset Number. I have been using the Version extraction in the Product Details page to read this version from an exe file. This has been working fine, but lead to the undesired behavior desc...

Re: AppLogoIcon in Surface Theme
Hello Daniel,
it would be much more convenient to use PNGs here. Please consider implementing this feature in the future.
Using BMPs and JPGs, I always have to colorize the background.

AppLogoIcon in Surface Theme
I am using the theme "BlackSurface" and I would like to change to icon. I know that I can do that via "AppLogoIcon" under "More options". However, sometimes the image looks very strange and sometimes it is pixelated. But I don't manage to produce a nice looking image th...
