There is no bug, you should put in the JVM Parameters field from the Java Product page the following text:

"-Dxmlfile=[TARGETDIR]Settings.xml" - correct usage in JVM Parameters filed

This text will be written in the INI file with two extra quotes, one before and one after. So the text that ...

Hi,

The "Setup Type" dialog allows the users that choose the "Custom" type installation to select the location where the application will be installed. That is why the "Select Location" dialog is not present anymore.

Hi,

In order to remove the files after the installation is completed, you should create a custom action from the "Custom Actions" page, which should be placed under the "Commit" Install Sequence. That custom action may be a simple program which removes a folder given as parameter.

Hi,

Can you be a little more specific about what you are trying to achieve?
Maybe it is an easier way to do it.

If a custom action creates temporary files or folders another custom action must be scheduled to remove those temporary files or folders at the end of the installation process.

Hi,

Can you be a little more specific? Where do you want to use that command line?
Will your EXE be launched during the installation?

Hi,

The DirectX files can't be updated from another package. If your application needs a new version of Directx to be installed you can place the DirectX package as a Prerequisites so that the selected DirectX will be installed before your application is.

Hi Anthony,

No, the replaced files are not backed up because Windows Installer 2.0 does not allow a patch to be uninstalled.

Hi Jon,

You cannot create that patch because one of your MSI files contains the MsiPatchSequence table and it is not possible to create a MAJOR upgrade (different Version and different Product Code) patch that has such a table.

You can find more from:

Hi,

You can erase all the data pertaining to an installation, using Msizap.exe (from Platform SDK). But you can't remove the files or registry keys which were created by that application.

In order to erase that data, you need the Product Code of that application.
The Product Code can be ...

Hi John,

No, you can not use environment variables in the "File To Search" field.
When looking for a file, its path can be specified using Windows Installer Properties like [SystemFolder], [ProgramFilesFolder], [WindowsFolder], etc.

We added this feature to our TO DO list.
