OperationStopped: Error opening file

[xObay]

Hello,

I'm following your tutorial on https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... ation.html to create an AIP file. When i run the following commands, I get an error message saying

Code: Select all

OperationStopped: Error opening file

.

Code: Select all

PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test> $advinst = New-Object -ComObject AdvancedInstaller
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test> $project = $advinst.CreateProjectS("professional")
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test>
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test> # Product Details
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test> $project.ProductDetails.Name = "xTags"
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test> $project.ProductDetails.Version = "1.0.0"
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test> $project.ProductDetails.Publisher = "xTools"
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test> $project.ProductDetails.SetIcon("xIcon.ico")
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test> $project.SaveAs("xTags.aip")
OperationStopped: Error opening file: "xTags.aip".
 
PS C:\Users\obay\Desktop\Test>

Any idea why that is?

The reason was that Advanced Installer is using Windows as it is working directory for some reason resulting in not being able to write there.

The problem is solved once you use the full path when saving the file.

Not very nice of AI.
