Hello,

Version used : Advanced Installer 17.1.2

Problem:
My app has always been installed in the correct way, with a automatically uninstall of the older version.
This has worked perfect for all versions.

But because the Install folders name was too long for me I did change the Publisher's name in the Product Details page into a shorter name.
After a build with these new settings, when I install the app it does not directly install it in the new folder, but it asks to install it in the old folder with the long name.
I can change it manually by install, but I would like it to be installed directly in the new folder.

Is there any way to accomplish this ?

Thanks
Regards
Etienne

Hello Etienne,

Most likely, this is happening because of the "Use original installation path when upgrading" option from "Upgrades" page.

Could you please uncheck that and let me know if everything works as expected?

Hello Catalin,

Am I correct ?
If I leave the 'Publishers Name' empty the program will install in the Original Installation Path if it is checked in the 'Upgrade' page.

Thanks

Are you refering to the "Publisher" field from "Product Details" page?

Please note that the "Use original installation path when upgrading" option from "Upgrades" page is not really related to those fields from "Product Details" page.

No matter what path you are using, when the option is checked, the installation path will be written in the registries and then a search will be performed on upgrade, setting the path to the one previously used.

Hope things are more clear now!
