Isn't that what you wanted to achieve? By default, when checking the "Secure property" flag, the property is stored encrypted in your project. By decrypting it, it will return the default value of the property. I was referring to the default value for the property under "Install Para...

Thank you, I will try this, but one question. Can these custom actions be scheduled before the built in StartService custom action? If it's schedule after, it will fail to start the service because this custom action hasn't run yet to get the password and the field will be empty. I just tried this a...

Thanks Catalin, Unfortunately that doesn't explain how I can use this functionality because the example provided is for an external application and not within the installer itself. From the documentation I see that the Secure Property dll (SecureProp.dll) is used along with an internal custom action...

Collins

Is there any way to use SecureProp (https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... y-net.html) to read the password value and pass it to the public property so it can be used during a repair or upgrade of a Windows Service so that the the service account value can be restored?

I added ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server, set is as the driver for the dlgpredefinedconnection and set the SqlConnectionString to: Driver=[\{]ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server[\}];Server=[SQL_SERVER];Uid=[SQL_USERNAME];Pwd=[SQL_PASSWORD];Trusted_Connection=yes; And now the testodbcconnection works. The iss...

You will eventually have to move away from that and it will only become harder later. Can't you stagger your conversion for a set amount of users and see how it goes and make changes if needed? If the upgrade works for them then you can increase your upgrade to more users.

Emoreau,

There was no upgrade path for ClickOnce as the installation directory and shortcuts were completely different. The process was to completely remove the ClickOnce application with the custom action then install the new one using Advanced Installer.

Collins

I had a similar situation and what I ended up doing is uninstalling ClickOnce prior to installing the new version, since ClickOnce is installed under the 2.0 folder and the current application would be installed "Per Computer". A custom action would run to remove ClickOnce entirely: https:...

When AI is updated to a new version and you manually open an AIP after the upgrade it creates a backup, which is great. You can then save the project and you don't get the message again. The problem is if you upgrade AI and you don't manually open and save each project and check it into your repo, i...

Hi Dan, This could happen indeed if your install certificate custom action is scheduled before the "Paths Resolution" action group. All the temporary files are deployed on disk at install time during the "CostFinalize" standard action (part of the "Paths Resolution" act...

Collins

Also, I discovered that while doing a silent install, the temporary file property (AI_FILENAME) is not being set for the certificate. This worked in 14.9 and doesn't in the latest.

Collins

Daniel, That is the way I had it configured, but it now randomly works about 10% of the time. I recently moved the CA under Searches and it seemed to work a couple of times, but then it started to fail again with the message still displaying or just erroring out during silent installs. I see the cer...

Hi Daniel, The error "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {F6D69C22-C70F-416D-80E6-DBA6A90B56C7} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))." dir="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Caph...

I need to install the certificate for the cat driver before the driver gets installed by DIFx so that the "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software" isn't displayed. The issue is that the certificate custom action runs after the driver because of the deferred sequence. Is...

I received an error in VS when trying to build the projects in the solution after upgrading from 15.01 to 15.1: "Unhandled Exception:The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" In the CCNET & TeamCity build log it shows: "Retrieving the COM class factory f...
