Hi Robert, Please note that the registry you put inside an MSIX package are only visible to your app, not for the rest of the apps or the OS. With this in mind, the Run key is useless for what you want to do. The solution is to go to Declarations page and add an app declaration for a startup task, a...

Hi Rachit, For APPX/MSIX packages the app user data is migrated/preserved automatically by the OS when you install a new version of the package, as long as the new version has the same package identity (eg/ " YourApplication.YourCompany ") as the old version. All you have to do is to run t...

Hi, re you seriously suggesting that "trying the latest" version might fix the problem? Since the AV vendors change their heuristics daily, sometimes this helps, just as you can see in the initial messages from this thread. We do not guarantee that an upgrade to the latest version will fix...

Hi, This problem will be soon fixed, starting with version 15.0 and future releases coming this summer. We have re-written completely the way our VS extension communicates with Advanced Installer to make it possible for you to have different versions of the VS extension and AI installed without enco...

It does not matter on what OS you're running the server. As long as your server knows to handle correctly HTTP/HTTPs request correctly the updater will work with it. To test it place your updates file URL in a browser, if the browser can load the file from your server, then the updater should be abl...

Hi Zsolt, Indeed, the command line you are passing in the updater is correctly passed to the installer, the updater is not at fault for the error. You see the error in the updater dialog because you are incorrectly using the property REMOVE. Thus the detection criteria of the updater gives the error...

Hi, What command line are yuo using to launch the JAR? Outside of the setup package. The MSI just included an EXE launcher that in the background calls java.exe and passes to it your JAR and the appropriate command line parameters, based on the configurations you made in Java page, in your Advanced ...

Hi Eric,

Try using Process monitor to see where that setting is saved in the OS and then replicate it into a setup project.

Usually such settings are stored in the registry.

Hi and welcome to our forums,

Customizing themes requires access to our Dialogs Editor feature, from the Enterprise edition.

Thus, the option is available only in the Enterprise and Architect projects, for the currently selected theme.

Hi and welcome to our forums,

This component is used by the setup package, you should not delete it.

Just move it (drag and drop) to another feature from that package that always gets installed.

Hi Kira,

We now automatically localize the most used user/group accounts, so you can use the property corespondent to the targeted user/group from the linked article.

I believe the property GRP_NETWORK_CONFIGURATION_OPS is the one you should be using.

Best regards,
Bogdan

Hi and welcome to our forums, First of all, let's clarify what PseudoFormatted means. The Advanced Installer PseudoFormatted data type is a string which can contain references to Properties . At build time the property references are replaced with the value of the respective properties. References e...

Hi, You can allow side by side installations of multiple versions of your application. However, this will not remove the newer version of your app. This is not supported by Windows Installer. Only when you install a newer version you can force the removal of the older ones, but not the other way aro...

Great, thanks for confirming.

The other two problems will disappear the moment your app/account is evaluated and accepted by the Microsoft team for upload in the store. Here is a similar situation on the the MSDN forums.

Bogdan
