Hello, Scenario: - Add a file (let's call it "MyHelperApp.exe") as a temp file (http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/temp-files.html) - Add a deferred custom action (let's call it "RunMyHelperApp") to your install that runs "MyHelperApp.exe". In my installer, I a...

Ok, I feel stupid. The XML file was read-only, so that's why I was receiving the error during uninstall. Everything seems to work as expected now. Indeed, an "XML Edit" operation cannot have its own component, it can only be added to an already existent component. This happens because it i...

Hello! I have an XML file that is included in my installation. There are some elements in the XML file that I want to update with information that I'm gathering from the user during install. I'm not sure how I should be properly handling this. I'm trying the following from this page: http://www.adva...

Any updates on when support for the "MinorUpdateTargetRTM" property might be added? If it's just a flag that's set in the MSI, it might be an easy/quick feature to add. Though, there's probably more to it than that ${L_SMILIES_VERY_HAPPY}$

Thanks.

I think I've stumbled upon a bug regarding the creation of shared folders. The process of sharing a folder does not seem to respect feature conditions (and possibly component conditions). Consider the following folder structure: FolderStructure.PNG I have a folder named "share" that the in...

Thanks for fixing this! It seems to be working exactly as I had hoped.

Indeed, this is a limitation of our registry file import support. The converted reg value paths don't use the [APPDIR] formatted reference. An improvement will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll notify you as soon as the impro...

Hello, - Add an option to import a registry files into a component. Since you can already import a registry file into a feature, it seems like it wouldn't take too long to implement this. This improvement has been added in version 12.3 of Advanced Installer released on July 16th, 2015. Thank you fo...

After some testing, I have a couple followup questions. I want to make the following IIS changes using a custom action: Add php-cgi.exe to "FastCGI Settings" (Global setting) Add php-cgi.exe to "ISAPI and CGI Restrictions" (Global setting). Add "*.php" handler mapping t...

Hello! My scenario: I have 32bit files and 64bit files divided up into 32bit features (only included in my 32bit build) and 64bit features (only included in my 64bit build). This is also true for my IIS website files. This means I need to create two websites (32bit and 64bit) and two application poo...

This should be our default implementation. If the hardcoded path from REG file matches with the source file (from disk) of one of your added files in "Files and Folders" page, then when importing the REG file the hardcoded path should be replaced with a formatted reference pointing to the...

Although I have not used VBS custom actions in my projects, I assume they work same as any other custom action. Meaning, you do not have direct access to MSI properties in deferred custom actions. You have to pass the properties through the "Action Data" field. According to Microsoft's bes...

I don't believe it matters if the installation package is installed before or after a certificate expires, as long as the installation package was signed prior to expiration. From Comodo's website: Code signing certificates are valid for between one to three years depending on your purchase choice. ...

To those interested (I hope this is not violating any forum rules): I've written a python script that will import registry files into your AI project file (into components): https://github.com/codesynergy/AdvancedInstaller Hopefully, this will be an acceptable work-around for those that need it, unt...
