Help needed, this used to work...

Any release notes user guides to help us customers, as my installer no longer uninstalls the previous versions, this was working like clock work.

Example using 3.5.1 (Installation Options) are drasticly different than those in 3.7.1

Recall, I generate a new product code for each build

AdvancedInstaller.exe /edit my.aip /version 0
AdvancedInstaller.exe /edit my.aip /version ${Mayor}.${Minor}.${Release}.${Build}

As such I want to uninstall the previous product, I have a Search method that finds the uninstall string, and then in custom actions I would run that.

I can't figure out how to get this back to working...

Hi,

Yes, things have change quite much in the upgrade area.

The "Automatically upgrade older version of the product" and "Do not install older versions of the product over new ones" independent options have been replaced with the "Automatically upgrade older version of the product" and "Allow side by side install of different versions of the product" exclusive options.

In order to find the problem, could you give us more details about your custom actions? Also it will be better if you send us the AIP file and the log of the installation to support at advancedinstaller dot com.

All the best,
Mihai
