[bchetana]

HI

I am using AI 10.9 to build my installer. I have build Version 1.0.0.exe and have a update with version 1.1.0.exe. Bellow is the senario of my issue

1. Install Version 1.0.0.exe in E: deive
2. Install upgrade to 1.1.0.exe , after upgradation, the installation is pointed to the default path in my installer insteed of previous versions path.
Bellow is the settings in my installer

Hi,

I'm not sure why you encounter this behavior. Can you test it on multiple clean machine and see if the problem persists?

If so, can you please send us the two .AIPs (the old version and the new version) and a verbose log of the upgrade to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

Best regards,
Eusebiu

Hi

I can add some more information on this,

when I install my installer version 1.0 using this commad : msiexec.exe /i steelwedgecloudconnect.msi APPDIR="D:\MyApp" . The product gets installed in D drive
Now whan I upgrade to 1.2, If I do not mention APPDIR path, the installter is using --- "Use original installation path when upgrading" i.e installing in D drive only but if we give the command as msiexec.exe /i steelwedgecloudconnect.msi APPDIR="E:\MyApp" i.e changing the APPDIR path to E, its upgrading in E drive.

Can you cofm the behaviour ASAP ???????

Hello,

Please keep in mind this is the normal behavior. The "Use original installation path when upgrading" option will be used as long as the "APPDIR" property is not deliberately changed during upgrade installation (e.g. using a set property command line, a set property custom action, or by manually picking another installation folder on "FolderDlg" dialog, etc).

If you have any questions just let us know.

All the best,
Daniel
