Hi Steve and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, Are you asking about web installations? In this case if you are sure there isn't any problem with the Internet connection on that machine, please try testing the built packages on other clean machines as well (VM or physical). Also, please pay atten...

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Try searching for web-based installations.

Hope this helps,

Hi Josh and welcome to Advanced Installer forums, To get started with Advanced Installer's basic functionality we recommend you start learning by doing the Simple and Professional tutorials. There is no best approach, you should first clear up why you want your users to see the new features. Users t...

Dear Dave, This works correctly if I initialise the property to "00 00 00 00 00 00" or some other value but if I use your {} and [[PROPERTYNAME]] with the double brackets this does not work, it just overwrites the key each time ignoring the search - this is a bug in your product. This has ...

Dear Helan, That condition does not seem to be evaluated until both prereqs have been installed. In my test project I have two two prerequisites and the option is enabled for the first in the list. I tested this by manually cancelling the first prerequisite's installation and another way by simulati...

You're welcome, a quick shortcut to open a file or registry's associated component in the Organization page is to press F8 while the resource is selected in the Files and Folders page or the Registry page.

Dear Dave, Keep in mind an upgrade consists of uninstall of the old version followed by install of the new version so both cases must be covered when conditioning the reg. I attached my own consecutive version samples you can build. They are similar to your own and have the same settings except the ...

Dear Zsolt, Thank you very much for your feedback. After discussing with development it seems this improvement is not that simple and requires considerable more investigation time, not to mention insight from Microsoft. Unfortunately our resources are limited and we have a lot on our plate after the...

Dear Raj,

You're welcome. As I mentioned in my previous post, if you know you only use these files during installation, you can try to add them as temporary files. Another solution would be to use file removals.

All the best,

Dear Dave, To set the registry value blank by referencing a property you can initialize the property either to [~] or to {} . However, when referencing it be sure to do it like this: reg value.png ...enclosing it in two sets of braces so that the resolved value is evaluated as formatted as well. If ...

Dear Raj, Windows Installer handles un-installation for registered resources only, custom actions you need to handle in every phase. I am not that familiar with devcon.exe, but I can provide some guidelines to configure it in Advanced Installer: - you should first start by playing with devcon.exe ou...

Dear Diego,

We need to see your settings. Can you please send us the AIP project file to support at advancedinstaller dot com?

Dear Vivian,

We looked at your project and it seems you somehow enabled "Format Size" flag on that Text Edit control. Settings it to "False" should solve the issue.

Dear Vivian, Welcome to the Advanced Installer forums! I'm not sure because I haven't encountered this error before but since most Text fields are formatted, try to to escape the text like this: v[\2].[\4] Can you send us the AIP project file to support at advancedinstaller dot com to see what's goi...

Dear Raj, The indications you can follow are in the How do I install a driver? article. However, the DIFx framework we use is designed for installing Software First Install drivers only. It might work for some Hardware First drivers but it's not assured. Basically if you can install your drivers wit...
