"Check if a folder has write permissions" does not work with Enhanced UI

Wed Apr 27, 2022 8:40 am

Dear AI team,

when choosing the Enhanced User Interface the action "Check if a folder has write permissions" does not work and blocks any further actions during the dialog stage. There is not even any logging from the action.

Find an attached example.

Best regards,

Angelo

Hello Angelo,

I have tested this with a sample project and I can indeed confirm the behavior.

I have forwarded this to our development team and hopefully this will be fixed in a future version of Advanced Installer. As soon as the fix will be released we will notify you on this forum thread.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Until then, as a solution, you can use your own custom action (PowerShell script, VBScript, etc) to check the write permissions on the folder. You can also check the Check Folder Path has Write and Display Error forum thread.

Best regards,
Liviu
