Access_Violation When Trying To Add Extended Search

[Collins]

Hi,

I'm building an installer and when I try to add a "New Extended Search", it throws an access violation error. It doesn't seem to matter what type of extended search you choose:

[SEH_AV_READ_NULLPTR] ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address [0x0194c792]

Advanced Installer 16.2 build 436ecd62
*** Stack Trace (x86) ***

I can recreate it in an existing or new AIP. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling AI 16.2, which didn't help.

Hello,

Indeed, unfortunately this is an issue in our latest version (16.2) of Advanced Installer. You cannot add an extended search to your setup project when using our latest version. We already added a fix for this and it will be available in our next version of Advanced Installer scheduled for release in the forthcoming weeks.

As soon as the fix will be out we will update this forums thread.

Until then as a workaround you can try to use a previous version (16.1 or lower) of Advanced Installer.


All the best,
Daniel

Hello,

This was fixed in version 16.3 of Advanced Installer released on September 4th, 2019.

All the best,

You are always welcome.
