Historically we have versions of our application out there with the 4th part versioning (going forward for our newer releases we can restrict to just major.minor.build)
e.g.
4.11.12.23
If we give a customer a new release on their branch of the code, we would give them
4.11.12.24

Both these versions ...

Thanks Dan, i'll adjust our "nightly" build versions, should the option:
Media->Uninstall a package with the same version (if found) ticked

Not have uninstalled anyway, or is that looking at something else?

FergusMurray

I have both these options enabled on my project (AI 11.5)
Media->Uninstall a package with the same version (if found) ticked
Upgrades->Automatically upgrade older product versions (selected) - Uninstall old version first and then install new version

i have nightly builds generated on our build ...

Dan, its not really possible to do with a custom action since we want to add it as part of an "edit ini" file, however since we are batch building as part of our "main" builds, ive been able to pass the filesize using a SetProperty call in the .aic file we pass to AI when building our web installer ...

Hi Dan, thanks for the info

The size im after is really just the size of a delivered file during the install (not specifically the msi size i am making with the active installer)

Basically my website installer delivers another (client drivers) installer (which has been built beforehand), if there ...

FergusMurray

looks like at some point between when i initally implimented our autoupdates, the aic file now needs the "Size=" (without it i am getting "invalid updates configuration file")

I have a Web site installer, that includes an installer which is run for each client that connects, part of the client ...

Noticed this for the last few releases and is still an issue at 11.5

I have a synchronised folder which i dont wont to sync the subfolders, so i have under Filters->Exclude Filters "Exclude Filters" checked

with this set, if i go back later and DONT go to the exclude filter, and just hit Ok from ...

FergusMurray

Ok Dan i've tracked it down, its a AI bug from what i can see

If you use the option on the custom action definition of "Check if User Exists" and tick the "Check user account's password", it never works

However if i add the AI_USER_CHECK_PASSWORD = 1 on the dialog's "Next" sequence button ahead of ...

FergusMurray

I have a custom dialog that contains a DOMAIN_NAME, USER_NAME and two password boxes, i was trying to extend the error checking by using the custom action "Check if user Exists" and having the option "Check user account's password"

My custom action is aways failing, and i'm suspecting that its ...

FergusMurray

Thanks Dan, will give that a go, however the scenario you listed was only 2 dialogs, since i have an initial (custom) settings dialog, followed 3 (custom) conditional dialogs which show based on whether a specific feature is being installed, that is going to further complicate things since there is ...

FergusMurray

I have 3 conditional dialogs which can appear (ideally one after each other), however when i tried to set this up, its only showing 1 of the dialogs.

I think this is because its tied to the "Next" button on the previous dialog, there doesnt seem to be a way to get more than one conditional dialog ...

FergusMurray

So that means i cant use the existing "standard" feature selection and have to create (and maintain) my own?

Seems a bit of a weakness that there is no standard way to check for pre-req if specific feature is selected for install. What is the feature based pre-requisites used for if its not this ...

FergusMurray

Can you please make sure the "/q /norestart /ChainingPackage ApertaWebApplications" is a valid command line? Can you please try to manually launch the prerequisite package using the above command line and see if successfully install?

It launches and installs okay running it from command line ...

FergusMurray

I've tested the scenario and the ISAPI and CGI restrictions are added in IIS with the restrictions set to "Allowed". Can you please test your package on a clean machine?
I had tried it on two clean 2008 servers (one 32bit windows 2008 x86 and the other windows 2008 r2 x64)

Please take a look on ...

FergusMurray

In order to achieve this you can try to add .Net Framework as a feature-based prerequisite and, then implement a similar scenario like it is described in our "Show a custom feature selection dialog" how to.

I've tried that and it seems to correctly restrict the checking for pre-requisite unless ...
