Global Path Variables and .apf files

Hello-

I'm adding another project to a build computer that utilizes some of the same environment variables for paths. I was hoping to "store" the project specific values for these variables in Advanced Installer via the .apf files in Properties, Global Path Variables tab. However, I'm not seeing the selected .apf file in any of my .aip files. Any time I select an apf file in the Advanced Installer GUI, that is the one that is used for any .aip file until the next time I select a different .apf file.

Is there a registry key or anything where I can switch these out via a script before I build an .aip file via the command line?

Many thanks!

Hello,

I'm afraid there isn't any registry entry that can achieve what you need, for now.

I will, however, add this on our TODO list of improvements and hopefully it will be implemented in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! :)

Best regards,
