Hi,

This warning is displayed when a package is not digitally signed. So you need to sign your packages in order for Windows to be able to verify their authenticity.

Hi Jeff, Thank you for your suggestion. We already have on our ToDo list the possibility to specify a place for the MSI to be extracted. It will be present in a future release. In the meantime, in order to perform a repair you have two possibilities: 1. Run the EXE again 2. Use the /extract option w...

Hi, The Publisher field contains the value of the Manufacturer property. This property can be edited in AI in the "Product Details" page. According to Microsoft documentation this property is required: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/manufacturer....

Hi Iain, The only way to change the upgrade code is by editing the AIP file directly. But if you have different products you should change also the component GUIDs and the product code. To get a new GUID you could use a GUID generator utility (there are many free available on the Internet). Another ...

Hi Marv, If you don't want to write your own custom action the simplest way would be to use the updater capability to delete those folders. The updater already uses this capability to delete the folders when the product is being uninstalled. However, deleting those folders may be dangerous if you ar...

Hi Marv,

Advanced Installer sets the folders to be deleted when the product is uninstalled, since it is the safest option.

You cannot set the folders to be deleted on upgrade. If you want to do this, the only way would be by defining your own custom action for this purpose.

Hi David,

I am afraid that this feature can not be implemented. Windows Installer does not allow you to get the return value of a custom action.

Hi Aaron, If you use a custom action DLL there is no need for any editing with Orca, as the custom dialogs will be displayed by your application. If you are accustomed to UI applications I would suggest using this approach. The approach used by Advanced Installer for the serial validation dialog is ...

Hi Tom,

I am afraid that there isn't any property that you can use to retrieve the CD-Rom drive letter.

You could use a custom action that displays a dialog and gets this information from the user.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

This is because the while loop take control of the processor. You could try to call the sleep method inside the loop too. This way the processor only checks from time to time whether the service is stopped and releases the processor in the meantime.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion. This is a good idea. We will add it to our Todo list.

It will be implemented in a future release.

For now, I am afraid that the only way to do that is by changing the AIP file before build and modifying the PackageName attribute.

Mihai
