Product Code/Upgrade Code

I've seen people ask about this before, and the response has been that there doesn't seem to be a need to expose the code through the UI.

Here's a real-world example of why this would be very useful:

We're looking to switch installers from Visual Studio Installer to something more powerful. We already have multiple release versions on the market.

If AI exposed the code, I could easily match the codes to the existing project, making a seamless transition, and preventing multiple applications showing up in the Add/Remove Program list.

Yes, I can edit the AIP file manually, but this is a good example of why someone would need to do it in the real world.

Hi,

Yes, I agree, this is a good example of why this would be a useful feature. We will add it to the list of improvements for Advanced Installer.

Best regards,

Maybe an even better idea would be AI importing VS project files...

Hmmm...
