Avoid cancelation of the app installing

Wed Sep 08, 2021 9:34 am

Hello,

My Advanced Installer version is 18.6.
I use basic user interface application installation for installaing updates.
I need to avoid cancelation of the app installing. But during installation Windows Installer popup is shown with progress bar and cancel button. I need to remove this cancel button or do not show this popup at all. Is there any way to do this?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Tanya

Hello Tanya,

Please note that the dialogs shown during a basic UI installation are displayed automatically by Windows Installer and cannot be modified.

You can try using the dialog editor to modify the "Visible" flag for all "Cancel" buttons. This can be done only in an Enterprise project and it will work only for full UI.

But if you want to install updates without user interaction, you can follow the steps described in the How to handle updates without elevation tutorial.

Please note that in order for the Updater to automatically check for updates you need to use the "Automatic: using a Windows scheduled task" option from the "Updater" page of your project.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Liviu
