Property Set with Formatted

[ethurber]

Having a problem with custom actions. When I was using version 3.0.1 I was able to add Property Set with Formatted actions below any of the standard actions. In 3.1.1 that (and other) actions are greyed out. I am now running 3.2 and can only add those actions under the InstallUISequence (this is not where I need them). Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Hi,

Advanced Installer allows you to add a "Property Set With Formatted" type of custom action in the InstallExecuteSequence too. If you experience this behavior it might be related to a bug but we are unable to reproduce it.

If you can, please send us the steps that are leading to this behavior.

Nothing out of the ordinary. I open a new project, go to Custom Actions, Right-Click on InstallExecuteSequence/Install(or any other step below InstallExecuteSequence), select New Custom Action. My only options are 'Script Inline', 'Property Source', and 'Exe with Working Dir', the others are greyed out. This condition also exists on a co-workers PC (we have only 2 installations).

Hi,

It is not allowed for a "Property Set With Formatted" type of custom action to be placed under the "Install" standard action.

The 3.0.1 version did not allow this either.

However, what is the reason why this custom action before the should be placed under "Install" standard action and not before?

I found it. I do have the full menu under 'InstallExecuteSequence\InstallFiles"

Thanks for your help.
