Re: Update dll every installation

Hello Tardas and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

In the Files and Folders page right click on the DLL and select "Properties" from the context menu. Go to "Operations" tab and try using the "Always overwrite existing file" option.

Hope this helps,
Mihai

Re: Multiple Install Issues

Dear Diego, You cannot have two installations of the same version on the same machine just by using the InstallTypeDlg . Even for different versions you have to enable the "side by side" option from the Upgrades page. When launching the package the second time it will enter maintenance mod...

Re: Setting properties to an empty value for the registry

Dear David, The registry value has formatted type which means you can use [~] to set a null value instead. This is used by Windows Installer to author REG_MULTI_SZ character strings in the Registry table. An alternative to using searches would be to place the registry value in a single key and use t...

Re: MSI and App-V 5.1 builds

Hi Jim and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, Yes, basically you can repackage existing MSI installations to working App-V packages . The functionality has some advantages over the Microsoft Sequencer like detecting drivers from your project, excluding them from the App-V package build and placin...

Re: Launch Excel Application after installation of Excel Add-in (xlam)

Hi Aaron and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

AFAIK simply launching Excel from its install location on the target machine will open a blank worksheet.

The How to launch a file after an installation? article shows how to do it from Advanced Installer.

All the best,
Mihai

Re: Install of multiple Microsoft Hotfix (MSU) files via single MSI file

Hi Robin,

VB scripts can be run from the custom actions page with a Launch attached file or Launch file predefined custom action for example.

However, you could try to add the MSU files as prerequisites from the Prerequisites page.

All the best,

Re: cant remove parameter default value

Hello,

Most likely you have PROXY_PORT property declared in the Install Parameters page with a default value. If you change it in the Install Parameters page it will get updated in the Dialogs page as well.

All the best,

Re: Very Simple Installer Error

Hi Stu,

This is strange, can you replicate this on several machines (even clean ones)? If so please send us the AIP project file and the REG file to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate.

All the best,
