The target machine has .net frameworks installed ('4 extended', '4 client profile', '3.5SP1', '3.0 Service Pack 2', '2.0 service pack 2'). I tried building my .net assembly to target .net 2, but that made no difference. I created a simple visual studio 2008 setup project to deliver the same merge mo...

Using AI 11.2.1, I have created a very simple 32-bit install package. It delivers a merge module, created with VIsual Studio 2008. The merge module has a custom action which is some managed code within an 'Install'-derived class in a .net 3.5 assembly. I can install the package on a 32-bit Windows7 ...

OK, I think that reinforces the need for us to invoke regasm as a custom action, because we define ComRegisterFunctions which perform some extra configuration setup when they get invoked as a consequence of regasm registering our assembly.

Hello. I am a bit confused by the behaviour of this option available from the Properties context menu for a .net assembly file I am delivering as part of my setup. Does it actually cause regasm.exe to be run on the target machine where the setup is being installed? I think it must be interrogating t...

ok, thanks. I had been hoping to avoid writing a custom action, as the file auto-register option seemed to do all the necessary stuff, but if we can't create the registry entry before that operation is performed, then I'll have to do it in a custom action.

I am using Advanced Installer 11.2.1. One of the files I am installing is a .net assembly dll , for which I select the 'auto-register file' option (it is a Windows managed shell extension). However, one of the callbacks called as part of the registration process needs to use one of the registry valu...

ok. Thanks, I 've got it working now. My problem wasn't what I thought, but your reply made me look elsewhere in the setup .

Thanks for the reply, but I don't understand what you mean - how do I convert the value to decimal? I cannot see any way in the registry editor to do anything to the value e.g. [OverlayCount] that I set in the 'Edit Registry Entry' Data field?

I am using Advanced Installer 11.2.1. I wish to pass in a numeric value on the msiexec command line, so that it is available as a windows installer property, and then store that numeric value into the registry as a dword value. However, it seems to me that the custom installer property is stored as ...

I have found an answer to the underlying problem I was trying to get round on another post. I had some custom actions in a 64-bit .net assembly (with class derived from Installer), and I was having problems with installlibutil.dll error 1001. I had thought I might have needed to add the 64-bit insta...

Thanks. I had wanted to avoid modifying the merge module if possible, since it is used by several different setups, but only this particular setup requires the files in it installing into 2 different locations. But since adding the merge module twice is impossible, I'll have to consider what alterna...

I am using Advanced Installer 11.2.1. I have created a simple merge module that delivers a few files to the Target computer/application folder. I would like to deliver those same files to 2 different locations on the target computer, e.g. to the APPDIR folder, and also to a subfolder of APPDIR. I ca...

I am using Advanced Installer 11.2.1. I have defined a path variable, name TFS1 , value D:\tfs1 In the Custom Behavior\Table Editor page, for the Binary table, I am trying to add a new setting, "myfiledata" say, with value that is a file path, which on my development machine is say "D...
