Re: Vbscript for MSI use ; documentation? Wscript vs Cscript

Hello,

Indeed, a custom action can be executed during installation rollback. In the custom actions properties there is an "Execution Time" grupBox and one of these options is "During installation rollback".

Best regards,
Dan

Re: Launch signed exe with working directory

Hello, I'm not sure why you have encountered this behaviour. Can you please tell us a more detailed scenario, like what kind of certificate are you using for signing your executable?

Re: Vbscript for MSI use ; documentation? Wscript vs Cscript

Hello,

In this article you can find some information and examples about VBScript.

We also recommend you to use a DLL custom action written in C# or C++, instead of VBScript and you can see some reasons why not to use VBScript .

Best regards,
Dan

Re: Unstall with parameters

Hello, Please keep in mind that if a resource was not created by your installation package (e.g. it is created through a custom action), then the related file will not be removed during uninstall. Can you please tell us how your license file is created? It is installed by the install pack or it is c...

Re: Only Install If Folder Exists On End Users Machine?

Hello, I am not sure why you encountered this behaviour. Make sure you set the right condition in the "Organization" page. If your project is organized into features, one for each version of your extension, you need to have a condition on each of those features. If not, you need to have ap...

Re: Setting Dialog properties with initial values

Hello, Unfortunately, we don't have predefined support for populate dialog edit boxes with values from a text file. In order to achieve that you need to do your own custom action which will read a value from a text file and will set it in a property (e.g. MY_PROP). Then, you can use the above proper...

Re: Can REBOOT Property Be Set From A Merge Module

Hello again, After more investigations I found that this is an Advanced Installer limitation and the behaviour is encountered only when the "Enhanced User Interface" is enabled. However, it works if you place the "Set installer property" custom action above the "Wizard Dialo...

Re: Can REBOOT Property Be Set From A Merge Module

Hello,

I'm not sure why you encountered this behaviour. I've tested again your scenario and it worked fine to me.

Can you please test it on a clean machine to see if this behavior persists? If so, can you attach a sample reproducing the behavior?

Best regards,
