Re: Windows Feature Bundles Not Installing

Is there any ETA on when this fix will be in a Release version?

We tried the latest version of Advanced Installer (18.6) but the issue is still persisting.
.NET 3.5 is not enabled in Windows Features. We get the same error in the logs and event viewer as described in the comments above (e.g. AI_WinOptFeaturesRollback. Rolling back configured Windows features).

Regards,

Matthew.

Hello Matthew and welcome to our forums,

After having a look over our bug tracking tool, it looks like this indeed have missed the 18.6 release.

However, it is now labeled as "test in progress", therefore I would assume this would get in the next release. We usually do a release a month, so you could expect this to be fixed somewhere around next month, since we just did the release few days ago.

Would you like me to send over the .DLL for you as well, so you can benefit of the fix until the 18.7 version is live?

Best regards,
Catalin

Hi Catalin,

Thank you for the response and the information on its status. That is understandable.
The .dll would be great if you can forward it. We need to test and ship our build within the next few weeks.

We will watch out for the next version (v18.7) and (re)test when it comes around.

Regards,
Matthew

Hello Matthew,

I have sent a download link for the .DLL file at the e-mail address you have used when registering on our forums.

Please let me know if everything works as expected.

Hi Catalin,

I performed a quick test of the .DLL and it appears to be working. .NET 3.5 is now enabled in Windows Features.
We'll test it more thoroughly next week but so far all looks good.

Thank you very much,

Matthew.

Hello,

I also have noticed this exact same issue with our Setup files created by Advanced Installer.

We are using the 17.6 version, we aren't currently using any maintenance plan, as we had assumed this version was currently enough for our needs for the time being.

Can you also send me the dll file, this issue is causing a lot of headaches for our support department.

Hi Catalina,

I too will need this update. In fact, I discussed this issue with AI support rep back in February, and he couldn't help me.
(I had resolved that perhaps it had something to do with upgrading to Win10 from Win7 since both machines I test with were upgraded from Win7, while a Win8 machine I tested with enabled the .NET 3.5 just fine)

I'm currently updating our installer and thought I'd look again into resolving issue... thankfully more people are now experiencing it too ;)
Anyway, it appears AI 18.7 is still not released, so if you can fwd me the DLL as well, I'll greatly appreciate it... since I'm currently in the zone.
Otherwise, if a new release is coming this week or so, then I can wait.

Hello Immanuel and welcome to our forums,

The next release of Advanced Installer is scheduled (at least internally) next Tuesday (Sep 21st).

I have sent the download link for the .DLL, just in case we might have some delays with the release.

Hope that will help!
