Just added Advanced Installer extension ( 18.0 ) to VS2019 Community.
Have tried to add an installer project to my WPF solution but the .aip file is not being created properly ( empty file ) so an error occurs immediately you click on it. Have uninstalled and reinstalled AI but to no avail.

Re: Installer Project error with .aip file
Hello and welcome to our forums,
I have tested this and everything worked as expected on my end.
Could you please give me some more details about the encountered error (maybe a screenshot)?
Best regards,
Catalin

Re: Installer Project error with .aip file
Hi Catalin
As mentioned I'm using Visual Studio 2019 Community.
I created a very simple WPF .Net Core 3.1 project with just a textblock on it.
Then from the solution tried to add a new Advanced Installer project. The attached screenshots show the selection process and the error when I clicked on the aip file.
I appreciate that when the AI project loads I should be looking at the Installer options but it just seems to add an empty aip file, which is very odd.

Hi Catalin
All now resolved. There was clearly an issue with the original Windows installation because I've reinstalled and now I can add an installer project successfully.
Many thanks for your help.
