Hi,

The merge modules are not listed on the Organization page.

Hi,

We are moving to a 32/64-bit mixed installer. We have some pre-requisites, files, etc that are 32-bit only and some that are 64-bit only.

I need to specify a conditional rule - how do I write a rule that say "true if 32-bit OS" vs "true if 64-bit OS"?

Hi, The workaround suggested causes the installer to re-install the merge module every upgrade. This causes AI to ask the user to close all applications that use the vcredist module. If I run an upgrade on my machine it asks me to close: - Firefox (all windows). - Thunderbird. - Visual Studio. - Adv...

Hi,

I am attempting to migrate to a 32/64 mixed package type.

What define should be used to detect between 32-bit and 64-bit? (OS, not CPU)

Hi, We need the installer to stop a number of services (not installed by our installer) and to close our applications (for example a utility that sits on the notification bar). To do this I have a small exe that detects and stops/closes the necessary services/applications. The exe has a manifest tha...

Hi, Following up on this - we couldn't reproduce it for a while but customers were still complaining. Figured out how to reproduce it... The problem is when the application needs the C++ Redistributable merge module AND it is the ONLY installed application to need it AND the application is upgraded....

That was the problem - I was using the AdvancedInstaller.exe - thanks!

Hi, How does the script know/detect that AI has finished? Most applications block until completion - the script just executes them one at a time. AI does not block - it returns control to the script and then compiles in the background for the next minute. This creates a problem - how to detect that ...

Hi, I am invoking AI from a build script to update version numbers and to generate the install files. Once AI has finished I need the build script to run commands to build ISOs etc. The issue - AI does not block the execution of the script. How can I detect if AI is finished? (or alternatively, how ...

Thanks!

The work around sounds reasonable - I will test.

Hi, I was trying to avoid having two project files - it creates maintenance problems. I will set up a script to create a x64 project file from the x86 project file each time the build process runs. Feature request 1: Support configuring/generating a single package that will install a 32-bit version ...

Hi, I am not sure of the terminology - is a "package" a "build"? I have set up a 32-bit build and a 64-bit build within this installer project file. I then set up a 32-bit feature and a 64-bit feature. The 32-bit feature is set to only be included in the 32-bit build. The 64-bit ...

Hi, We have 32-bit and 64-bit builds of our application, and need to create web and CD installers. Is it possible to have one installer that will install 64-bit components on a 64-bit OS and 32-bit components on a 32-bit OS? I understand conditionals, but I am not sure how get it to install into [Pr...
