Weird bloat in my AIP file

Using git diff on my AIP for the first time, I found that some parts are added over and over again with incrementing numbers:

Code: Select all

  <COMPONENT cid="caphyon.advinst.msicomp.AiPersistentPropComponent">
    <ROW Property="DISPATCHER" Registry="DISPATCHER" HklmSearch="DISPATCHER" HkcuSearch="DISPATCHER_1" Hklm64Search="DISPATCHER_75"/>

I have not found any negative impact on the created EXE, but it seems to bloat up the AIP file.

Is this normal behaviour, a bug or a pebkac?

Re: Weird bloat in my AIP file

Hello,

Indeed I can confirm you this is a current issue in Advanced Installer and replicates when you have persistent properties set into your setup project. The project XML content redundantly duplicates the related rows regarding the persistent property each time the setup project is reloaded and saved in Advanced Installer.

We will try to deliver a fix to this issue in a future version of Advanced Installer. When available we will update this thread.

All the best,
Daniel

Hello,

This was fixed in version 15.4 of Advanced Installer released on October 17, 2018.

All the best,

Re: Weird bloat in my AIP file

Thank you for the notification; but a few days ago I have been notified by AI support that AIP files have to be committed to git as a binary files because auto-merge can destroy AI projects, so my bug report was already obsolete.
