Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,
Indeed, you are right, I've had a look over the articles and it does not mention anywhere what is actually up with the
AdvancedInstaller.com tool.
I will forward an improvement to our Technical Writing team to update the article. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
AdvancedInstaller.com is an executable ("MS-DOS Application" type) with the purpose of automating the creation / modification of Advanced Installer projects (.AIP files).
This executable can be found at the following location:
Code: Select all
<path_to_installation_folder>\Caphyon\Advanced Installer <version>\bin\x86
For instance, on my machine, it is located here:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 16.7\bin\x86
Since this is not added by default in the PATH environment variable (so the Windows knows its path by default), you will have to either:
1. use it with the full path, e.g.:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 16.7\bin\x86\AdvancedInstaller.com" /some_commands
2. in CMD, change the directory to the one specified above, e.g.:
Code: Select all
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 16.7\bin\x86"
and then use AdvancedInstaller.com without giving the full path, since you already navigated to its location.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Catalin
