Feature for music files

[Ghostlamer]

Please add the ability to automatically play audio file immediately after launching .exe/.msi file without waiting beginning of the installation.
Thanks.

Hi,

Please note that the User Guide contains the Play an Audio file how-to which may help you. You can schedule the play audio file custom action wherever you need.

I need to play audio automatically after program start, not after installation start, on the second page of the installer, what does the "Play an Audio file.

In order to play an audio file during the install process you can follow these steps:
in the Files and Folders page add the audio file as a temporary file
double-click the temporary file to show the Edit Temporary File dialog
in this dialog set the "Property" field to AI_AUDIOFILE_PATH
go to the Custom Actions page
under InstallUISequence -> WelcomeDlg add a Play Audio File custom action
set the "Expression" field in the Custom Action Properties page to (Not Installed)

Audio playback starts only after installation begin(Progress Dialog Page), not after program start (Welcome Dialog Page).
Or what i do wrong?

Hi,

To start playing when "WelcomeDlg" dialog is shown you can simply move the custom action before "InstallUISequence" -> "WelcomeDlg", for example under "InstallUISequence" -> "FileCost". You can read more about standard action in this article.

No, it does not work.
When i move "PlayAudioFile" under "FileCost" section, audio does not play at all on welcome screen.
I tried with other sections too, no result.
Audio played only if "PlayAudioFile" is under "WelcomeDlg", but starts playing on "VerfyReadyDlg" after pressing install button.

That's what I did:

Hi,

It seems that temporary files are extracted after "CostFinalize". Try moving the custom action under "InstallUISequence" -> "MigrateFeatureStates". Also, make sure you set the AI_AUDIOFILE_UI to "Play" before the custom action and to "Stop" when you want it to stop. For example, you can set it to "Play" with a "Property set with Formatted" custom action before "PlayAudioFile" and to "Stop" after "InstallUISequence" -> "ExecuteAction".

Thanks.

Hi,

Please note that you can set it through a Property set with Formatted custom action like I mentioned in my previous post.

Hello,

I'm not sure why you are encountering this behavior. Can you please set the AI_AUDIOFILE_UI property to "Play" before "PlayAudioFile" custom action and see if the behavior still reproduce? If so, can you please send us the .aip (project file), a verbose log of the installation and the related audio file to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate?

Go to "Custom Action" page and add a "Set Installer property" with sequence, scheduled before "PlayAudioFile" custom action, like this:

• Property: AI_AUDIOFILE_UI
  Formatted: Play

All the best,
Daniel
