That would be GREAT!! ;-)

Only.. The "Show if.." is grayed out in my project:

How can I enable it?

I have Advanced Installer Enterprise version 10.0 build 50412

Thanks!

Re: Install folder as parameter in command line?

Hi Dan,

One more question.

Is there also a command line option to SKIP the dialog screen:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/390763/Screensh ... 0_1753.png

This way I only need to build ONE installer which can be used with or without the APPDIR command line option.

Thanks!

Re: Install folder as parameter in command line?

Hi Dan,

First of all I apologize I misunderstood your specific scenario, running the .EXE.
In order to use the install folder as parameter in the command line for an .EXE which is build with Advanced Installer you can use:

Setup.exe APPDIR="C:\myFolder"


EXACTLY what I need! Thanks ...

Re: Install folder as parameter in command line?

Thank you Dan! This is getting us somewhere!

Now. This only works of we use a Setup.MSI right? Is there a way if the installer is a EXE like Setup.exe?

Thanks!

Re: Install folder as parameter in command line?

Hello Dan,

In order to achieve that you can go in the "Media" page and edit the MSI Command Line: from the Bootstrapper Options pane.
Ok, but I still don't understand what I need to enter there ;-)

So, my user types this into his command prompt:
Setup.exe "C:\myFolder\"

How do I catch the "C ...

Re: Install folder as parameter in command line?

Hello Dan,

Thank you for your reply.

Please note that the APPDIR is the public property that contains the path for the installation folder.
Please take a look on our Properties article which may be useful to you. Please keep in mind that this property is referenced by formatted data type so it ...

Install folder as parameter in command line?

Hello,

I have a Setup.exe build with Advanced Installer. I don't want to let the user decide what the installation folder will be. My app will start "Setup.exe" and will add a parameter which is the Installation folder. Like this:

Setup.exe "C:\my App's folder\"

The installation folder for Setup ...

Re: Can not add icon with /NewShortcut command

The command line syntax doesn't appear to be correct. Here is the user guide article with the correct syntax and a couple of correct examples.
In your command line there are a couple of apostrophes that shouldn't be there. Just remove them and try again.
Thank you. The quotes where there because ...

On the Custom Actions page, select your custom action and press the "Action Text" button. Input there the description for your custom action, in your case "Backing up, please wait".
Thanks, but the "Action text" button is disabled.
How can I enable it?
