Hello,
I am thinking of using your installer but i have a few questions that i did not find a proper answer for them.
1. Have you added a feature that will enable me to change the name of the websire/virtual directory during run time to enable the user select the actuall name.
2. Is there any way to populate a combolist/list etc. during run time - My use for it is to show all web sits that are defined in the computer and let the user select one of them.
Thank you,
Yoni S.

This is a really a critical feature for our application to be able to rename the Virtual Directory at install time. Other installers like Wise have this feature. This may affect our purchase decision.

Hi,
We are currently implementing this feature and it will be available in Advanced Installer 6.5. This version will be released in maximum two months.

Re: IIS directories and populating listbox/combobox
Has this been added? We are evaluating Advanced Installer right now and this is critical for us as well.
Basically, we need to able to present a dialog box where the user enters a name and that name be used as the install dir and also as the name of the website and or the virtual directory.

Re: IIS directories and populating listbox/combobox
Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer Forums,
This feature has been implemented. When adding a new Virtual Directory or a new Web Site, simply place [YOURPROPERTYNAME] (including the square brackets) as the name.
You will then create the proper interface using the Dialogs page so that the user will be able toset the YOURPROPERTYNAME property during install, on the wizard's dialog.
Setting the install directory means setting the APPDIR property. You would achieve this by using a SetProperty Published event that would set APPDIR. This needs to be done before the FolderDlg Dialog.
It is highly recommended that you read our comprehensive Tutorials, How To's, Q&A in order to better understand how Advanced Installer works and to efficiently deploy your product.
