Another question about this. If Run As Administrator is required, and Repair is enabled, we add a "Repair" program group shortcut to execute the installer accordingly with Run As Administrator set on the shortcut. However it fails if run from Programs & Features in Control Panel -- as ...

Had an idea and just tried it - was successful. The problem came from our Ant build.xml using a relative Basedir. To explain in case someone else runs across this problem ... Our Ant build.xml runs Advanced Installer in a procedure on TeamCity. The old line was: <property name="installer.dir&qu...

Encountered this today (17 May 2016).

The solution we found came from Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3020338

Hope it helps anyone else hitting their head on this particular rock ${L_SMILIES_LAUGHING}$

I have confirmed the problem discussed above ... that the paths to things get changed to long ..\..\..\..\....... with 12.8.

Any thought on how to proceed?

A little more information: Today I reverted to the project files used with 12.3.1 and got them to build successfully. Without changing a thing re-ran those builds with 12.8 and they all fail with: The source folder "D:\staging\docVue" of the synchronized folder "APPDIR" is missin...

I'm upgrading several projects from 12.3.1 to 12.8, as well as a few other changes. It would appear there are migration problems. To do this work I created a gitHub feature branch and cloned it to a different path than the master project. So the path changed. But now I cannot get it to build. Questi...

A related question: Should advinst.exe be used, or AdvancedInstaller.com ? What's the difference?

thill

Yes, that worked. Now I'm being asked why 3 other (and older) installers that are still being built with 12.3.1 work when we only change the 4th-place version number and generate a new Product Code? I assumed it was the different Product Code. We have an automated build system that runs several time...

Using 12.7.2 with a project created on 12.3.1. Just now trying to get it to upgrade the previous version. However, it does not uninstall/reinstall although set to do that and results in 2 entries in Programs and Features. Our build process increments a build counter and edits the project with that v...

That article makes it pretty clear ... you can't do that. The explanation makes sense to a point.

Thanks. Guess we'll just forget about that one ${L_SMILIES_MR_GREEN}$

Is there a way to set an application's system tray setting for "Show icon and notifications" during an installation?

thill

Here is a piece of log on this: MSI (s) (14:00) [16:44:27:889]: SECREPAIR: Hash Database: C:\Windows\Installer\SourceHash{9854DBF4-A807-413A-90BF-418D0DEE006B} MSI (s) (14:00) [16:44:27:889]: Note: 1: 2262 2: SourceHash 3: -2147287038 MSI (s) (14:00) [16:44:27:904]: SECREPAIR: New Hash Database crea...

thill

The Hash Files option is not enabled. And we do not digitally sign anything. Ours is a server-based product. Because we install a Windows service we have the "Run as Administrator" flag enabled and instruct people to also right-click the installer EXE and Run as Administrator. Not sure whe...

thill

That KB does not appear to apply. We're running the installer logged-in and as Administrator. Yes, the install continues to success. But we get asked about those messages. Is there an option to disable checking the hash of the files? Or a way to create the hash and satisfy it? Thanks a lot. Have a g...

This problem turned-out to be a custom script that was deleting too much too soon in the process.
