Creating MSI Problems?

[Solth]

After creating a new MSI and the running this MSI, the MSI itself seems like it is just copying all the information from the build directory and then just putting those same install files to the directory I specified?, I had this working once before but I had to redesign it from scratch due to a hard drive failure and am so far unable to duplicate what I did from my last build?, so ANY help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

What do you mean? Copying the files is part of the install. What other elements have you added to your install that weren't installed?

I understand that copying the files are part of the install and the MSI does go though a install process but after the installation process the only files that are in the specified location for the installed application are the setup files that are part of my install build?, so it seems like nothing is being installed EXCEPT for the install files and placed in that application folder?

[Cata]

Well, what else did you specify to be installed and aren't? Shortcuts? Registry entries?

You can check if a program was installed in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

If you are saying that the MSI itself gets installed instead of the files it contains, please send us the AIP to debug at support at advanced installer dot com.

Thanks,

Yes the MSI is installing but the application is not, but under Control Panal/ADD remove programs the Program does say it is installed?, I am sending the file to you now to view and see what may be the issue, Thank You.

I got the file and the application installs just fine.

Please specify which elements of the application you were expecting to see installed (other than the install files) and aren't.

Also, what exactly do you mean by "the setup files that are part of my install build".

Please be specific, give examples and name the exact files so I understand better what is going on.

Best regards,
Cata
