It clicked as soon as I started to read it. Of course HKCU is different for the local system account... Thank you very much!

Several registry values are created at run time in the application which I need to clean up during uninstallation. I cannot simply remove the registry key. I've written an executable tool to handle the clean up but run into the issue that the entire key (as well as dozens of others) under HKCU are n...

Hello Daniel, I presume, for the sake of completeness, that if it is a mixed-mode (ie: .NET) dll that standard dll would also be applicable? EDIT: Further research led me to http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9443 which pointed me in the correct direction. EDIT 2: It see...

I've tried to follow the steps in http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-c-sharp-ca.html but the option “New Installed Custom Action” is not available in the Add Custom Action tab. Since it's a .dll, would I just use the Launch Installed File and provide the Custom Action name as the Functio...

The web downloader bootstrapper will download and run an MSI. I need to determine which MSi to download before downloading it. Setting the property once it is downloaded does me no good as it may already be running an MSI for which the user is not licensed. It sounds as though we'll have to continue...

The bootstrapper needs to check for an existing license, if it doesn't find one display the licensing dialog, then check the maintenance expiry date and download the correct MSI, then execute the MSI. I'm already doing the licensing checks etc. in the MSI portion of the installation, but it has to b...

Thank you for clarifying. In my work-around I'd found that I needed to replace my static text with a text box (not super thrilled with the UX on a disabled text box, but will deal with it). I'm just calling the UI events to set public properties based on the private properties modified by the script...

We have an existing hand-coded bootstrapper which downloads the latest MSI for which the user's maintenance plan is licensed (if no existing license if found it also prompts the user for their license information); looking to do something similar with Advanced Installer if I can. Is there any way to...

As I said, my trivial example was an illustration of what I'm doing in a much more complex scenario. I cannot use the enhanced UI requires a bootstrapper which will not work in this case. I'm not sure how setting the property through a script differs from setting it through the custom action, could ...

I'm attempting to update the status of a script in a dialog and nothing I do seems to make the dialog refresh. I'm not using the enhanced UI. I've attached a simple .aip to illustrate the issue (v11.6.1). No matter how many times you press the Update button, the control will not update (which resolv...

I've modified the StartMenuShortcutsDlg to include checkboxes which set AI_DESKTOP_SH and AI_STARTMENU_SH. When I uncheck both check boxes, I still get a shortcut appearing on my desktop (whether or not that shortcut is advertised). I do NOT get the shortcut in the start menu when unchecking its che...

Thank you once again Daniel, this worked as expected. I'm curious as to why the inline script's error is suppressed, however. If you have any insights I'd be keen to hear them. If not, thank you very much for the fix!

adamdc78

I'm guessing that this isn't working as intended. The good news is that if I open the .aip I can still see my script text in the actions, I just can't edit them within the GUI. This occurs for 11.5.1 and 11.4.1 projects at the very least. Will re-install 11.5.1 for now.

I have a VBScript Execute Inline Script Code custom action which runs an executable which returns 1 or 0 and sets a property based on that value. When using the UI I can check that value and stop the user from advancing through the dialogs when the aforementioned property is 0. When running silently...

adamdc78

As a work around I've added a Published Event to the InstallTypeDlg's Next button which sets [ProgramMenuFolder] to [%APPDATA]\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs when AI_InstallPerUser.
