CustomAction in UI Init Event executing during silent install

Sun Sep 04, 2022 3:00 pm

I am not sure if this is normal. I thought that any custom action associated with a UI is skipped. In this case I have an init event in a dialog that is getting executed during silent mode.

Re: CustomAction in UI Init Event executing during silent install

Hello and welcome to our forums,

I'm not sure why this is happening. When you run a package in silent mode it only executes the actions found in the Install Execution Stage and the custom actions found in Wizard Dialog Stage cannot be executed.

Can you please send us the .AIP (setup project) file and an installation log by email to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can further test and investigate this?

Also, please tell us which custom action is executed and on which dialog is added.

You can create an installation log by launching your setup package with a command line like this:

Code: Select all

msiexec /i setup.msi /L*V "D:\installLog.txt"
when using an MSI package type, or a command like this

Code: Select all

setup.exe /L*V "D:\installLog.txt"
when using an EXE package type.

Best regards,
Liviu
