Update more like Google Chrome

When updates are issued often, it's nice to users if the updates happen more in the background and interrupt their workflow less. It would be great if Advanced Installer updated more like Google Chrome:

* Download updates in the background
* Apply on next application startup

Re: Adding a program to Explorer context menu

Update 3: Deleting the AdvancedInstaller cache fixed it. There's some minor bug happening that fails to update registry tinkering in the cache.

My new Emacs installer now adds it to the right-click Explorer context menu!

Convert AdvancedInstaller BATs into EXEs

I enjoy using the AdvancedInstaller command line BAT files to automatically build MSIs for software via Makefiles, it's really easy. But I sometimes have trouble doing this in other kinds of terminals, such as Git Bash / MinGW / MSYS / Cygwin. These terminals don't work with BAT files, so I can't ...

Option to NOT create .back.aip backup files

I use version control software, I don't need Advanced Installer creating backup files all over the place. How can I prevent Advanced Installer from automatically creating .back.aip files every time I modify a .aip file?

Specs:

* Advanced Installer 9.5
* Windows 7 Professional x64
* MacBook Pro 2009

Command line building of AIP into MSI

I like using command line scripts for my build process wherever I can. While Advanced Installer provides a wonderful GUI for building MSIs, I would like the option to construct MSIs from AIP files by some command I can type into a Command Prompt window. For example, I would like to add the ability ...
