Hi,

You can simply install Advanced Installer in trial mode on your target machine and perform a capture there. The repackager doesn't need a license in order for it to capture. The .rpk file generated on the target contains the capture results. You can then import the .rpk file back into your ...

Hey,

With regards to the Licence Agreement Dialog's font. The color of the text there is given by the rtf that is loaded in the edit. Your rtf's font is black, we recommend you make it white, or perhaps even better, a very light grey. You can refer to this thread, where the solution is discussed in ...

Hi,

The Surface theme was never designed to be supported without Enhanced UI. The issue here is actually that msi patches are not yet supported by Enhanced UI, so the Surface theme gets launched without Enhanced UI.
I have added an improvement on our TODO list to support this. In the meantime, if ...

Hi Norm,

I have already replied to your question via email.
For posterity, here is the answer:

The version field is the updater's version indeed.
To retrieve the version of your application, you could encode the version as part of the licenseid when storing it in the registry. Then, serverside ...

Hello Sacha,

Indeed that was what I referred to when I said "file sequence". Since you did not find any duplicate sequences in the aip, best thing to do is send us the .aip project file along with a detailed description of the steps to reproduce your issue to support at advancedinstaller dot com ...

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer Forums,

It appears you are trying to achieve a per-user install. The advantage of this is that no administrator privileges are required.
In order to make a per-user installer, simply do the following:
- use the "Files and Folders"->"Application Folder" folder ...

Hello and Welcome!

Like Octavian said earlier, we do test our installers on NT, as we support them.
Please make sure the following is true:
- on the Launch Conditions page, System Launch Conditions, under Supported Operating Systems you have any of the "Windows 9x Versions" checked.
I'm not sure ...

Hello,

An alternative solution would be:
- under UI Custom Actions, add a new attached custom action, and select "<AI_CUSTACTS>stdDllWrapper.dll" as the dll, where <AI_CUSTACTS> is the path variable containing the path to the folder in which stdDllWrapper.dll resides
- add the custom action where ...

Hello,

You can easily pass data to your UI custom action through the CustomActionData property. On the UI Sequence, before calling your custom action using the DoAction event, simply use a SetProperty published event to set the CustomActionData property with the information you wish to pass to your ...

Hello,

Here is the relevant section from the MSDN article explaining patch families:

Patches in the same patch family that target the same product version are sorted by the values in the Sequence column. The patches within the patch family are applied to the target product in the order of ...

Hello,

Are there any custom actions using the "CDI.IndexCard.dll" file? If so, the file does not exist at the time the custom action tries to access it.
Other than that, I'm not sure what the issue could be. Could you send us a sample project (including any project dependencies) to support at ...

Hello,

I am afraid the message box you are referring to is displayed by Windows Installer. We will be adding improvements to the Message Box custom action to support buttons localization.

Best regards,

Hi Alastair,

The following MSDN page lists having a valid un-revoked digital certificate as a prerequisite for a successful UAC patching.
The following list item seems to be relevant to our case:

"The signer certificate used to verify the digital signature on the patch package is valid and has ...

Hi Ramon,

- On the custom actions page, right click->New Attached Custom Action.
- Select your VB file.
- once added to the list, you will find the "Deferred with no impersonation" option in the right pane, under the Execution Options section.

Best regards,
Gabriel

Hello,

The installer is running silently during a GPO install. No user interface is displayed during this time.
You can try creating a Launch File or Open URL custom action that will run at the end of the installation and will launch the rtf file.

Best regards,
Gabriel
