Hey, Wondering if this is the right place to work through some issues I am having with the side-by-side install functionality. I had been using Advanced Installer 13.4 (ran into issues with an update after that where the side-by-side installs broke for us) and I am finally in a position to upgrade to 15.8/15.9 with an Enterprise license.
Issues that we had previously, seem to still be evident in the latest versions.
1. Specifically, I am not able to update an instance other than the first installed instance
- 13.4: Complains about missing MSI files (attempts to open an archived copy of the MSI that the OS saves);
- 15.8/15.9: No option to 'Install New Instance/Maintain Existing Instance', and upgrading any instance other than first, results in 'Resuming Setup';
2. After updating the first instance updating second instance results in:
- 13.4: Complains about missing MSI files (attempts to open an archived copy of the MSI that the OS saves);
- 15.8/15.9: Complains about missing MSI files (attempts to open an archived copy of the MSI that the OS saves);
3. Periodically (13.4, 15.8/15.9), the Advanced Installer 'New Instance' functionality fails to us the text entered in the 'New Instance Name' field and defaults back, and this results in the Windows Add/Remove DB having multiple copies of the default name;
4. In 15.8/15.9, attempting to install a 'New Instance' when installing a version newer than the first, prevents install;
Thoughts?
With the Advanced Installer -> Package Definition -> Builds -> Do Not Delete Extracted ... option set, I do not get the 'missing MSI' error, but another error instead.
Please let me know if these are known issues or if I can provide additional information to help troubleshoot the issue. I have a detailed test plan to replicate the errors that I am encountering.
