Hi, Please note that the "New Dialog" Published Event on the "Next" button from "ExcludeFileListB" dialog has not been set correctly. Currently its argument is set to "ExcludeFileListA"- it should actually be "VerifyReadyDlg", the same as the Control...

Hi Thomas, Note that you need to use Public Properties (only upper-case letters in their name) for the virtual directory names. This is necessary because the values of Private Properties do not pass from the InstallUI Sequence (when dialogs are shown) to the InstallExecute Sequence (when IIS virtual...

Hi, Please also send (or attach) the folder corresponding to the "DigiPOPDetails_Final_F1" Repository dialog. The directory where the Repository resides is "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Caphyon\Advanced Installer" (on Windows XP) or "C:\ProgramData\Ca...

Hi Kim,

So I guess my package would have to be a .exe file and not a .msi because of the bootstrapper?

Yes, the EXE bootstrapper handles the detection and installation of software Prerequisites and subsequently launches the MSI package containing your application.

Hi Zhang Shangyi,

After the above code is changed as the following code, will not prompt an error in installation process. If the backup folder does not exist.

Hi, From the log file you have sent, the problems seems to appear for 2 unversioned files: "Connection\ReadMe.txt" and "Read Me.htm". For both files select the option "Ensure that this file overwrites any installed target file" in the "Version" tab of the &quo...
