Re: MSIX Build failure
I'll first try to troubleshoot, now that I know how you are checking. It sounds like an issue in finding signtool. I'll recheck configurations. I do notice that some of the files it complains about are part of the package but are not in the list of files to be signed in the aip configuration, so per...

MSIX Build failure
Have app that builds to MSIX. Upgraded Visual Studio to 2019, Advanced Installer to 16.2, VS Extension Advanced Installer for VS 2019 added. Perform clean and rebuild on project and the setupproject fails to build. For every file reference (including dependencies not touched during rebuild) the Adva...

VS 2019 Integration
VS 2019 is now up to version 16.2.
So maybe the Advanced Installer Extension for Visual Studio 2017 might be updated to support VS2019?

Re: License Server and User_Agent in http header
OK to ignore this. I got the hosting provider to turn off the filtering for User_Agent which solves the problem.

License Server and User_Agent in http header
I am using the licensing component. It's been working great, however our hosting provider just added an application firewall which is incompatible with the license activation. The problem is that the application firewall insists on parsing the User_Agent field in the http header. When registration i...

Building MSIX package: Bad PE
I can create an MSIX package that includes my AppPersonalization.exe file using version 15.8. In version 15.9 the build fails claiming that the file is not a valid PE file. The error appears in both Repackager and the Advanced Installer AIP projects. I think you already have the exe from me in the p...

Re: Error signing appx file
I had the same problem - and it is a missing signtool. The VM was on insider's build and has now been upgraded to pre-19H1 build, which removed the installed Windows 10 SDK, and thus signtool was missing. Reinstall for signtool solved it. This post helped.

Re: 15.4.1 Trial.dll failing
I ran a clean on the VS solution and after rebuilding the issue went away. I don't know what was wrong in the end, but this did resolve it.

Re: 15.4.1 Trial.dll failing
This is an existing product that was working fine with the trial licensing. A few changes were made to the product software (code which isn't reached), but the AdvancedInstaller was upgraded to 15.4.1. At runtime, there are no error messages, the app starts and then shuts down silently without showi...

15.4.1 Trial.dll failing
Upgraded from 15.3 to 15.4.1
Rebuilt the project and app fails to start, apparently due to the licensing module. Replaced trial.dll with the copy from 15.3 and everything works.
Any ideas?

Re: InitTrialReturn
I do have a backup copy of the AIP file, although it is an older one and many installer changes have been done since then. I can copy the LibraryID from the old one but past is not allowed in that field. Would it be possible to do something similar to the XML directly? <ROW TrialwareName="Trial...

InitTrialReturn
I upgraded to 15.2, and also upgraded Visual Studio to 15.8.1, and the licensing module seems to no longer be working. The call to InitTrialReturn() does not return, terminating the application. Are you aware of any issues, and do you have advice on how to troubleshoot since I can't run the debugger...

License kill in InitTrial/InitTrialReturn (Solved)
I had a nasty issue after rebuilding a .Net app using the licensing, which was previously working. The changes were to edit a custom action on the installer. The AI was version 14.9. The symptoms were that the call to either InitTrial or InitTrialReturn would kill the process. This kill (probably no...
