Hi Shlomi,

We have not found the problem because the user did not sent us the requested files to investigate them. Please send your project file and the verbose log of the installation to our support email address, so we can try to find why you encounter the problem.

Hi,

Hi, A custom action is not necessary for this. Just create a property-based folder that points to the "C:\pgSQL" location (e.g. PGSQL_FOLDER) and move all the files into that folder. Then, go to the "Organization" page, select the feature containing all the resources, check the &...

Hi,

In order to achieve this, you can create a "[|ProductName]" folder under the "Application Folder" from the "Files and Folders" page and place all your files under that folder (see the image below).

Hi,

Please see a similar scenario described in the "Setting APPDIR to dir on a drive which may not exist" thread.

Let me know if that helped.

Hi, I've looked over the files that you sent and I've noticed the following things: 1. In the Updates Configuration project, "Update Installed Detection" tab you set the "Do not try to detect if the update was installed" option which means that the updater will not check if an up...

Hi,
