Starting installer 2nd time goes straight to uninstall!!!
When did running an installer (created by Advanced Installer 23.3) a 2nd time cause programs to automatically uninstall? No prompt. No dialog box. Nothing. Just uninstalls my program!!!

Re: Setup on Win11 is stuck at 'Searching for installed applications'
Well I waited a day so I did this:
Reinstalled AdvancedInstaller 20.7.1.
Rebuilt the setup.
Setup now works on Windows 11
Something is wrong with 21.0.1

Prerequisite installs do NOT run.
I'm using Advanced Installer 18.5 Enterprise
This was all working before and now when I try to install on a clean machine, NONE of the prerequisite files will run.
They show in the dialog that they are needed. This is good.
They download fine. This is good.

This is the Action Start/End right before the fatal error:

Re: Fatal Error: Error 1001 - What is it?
But this is the verbose log created by AdvancedInstaller. Can't more detail be added to it (for future installers)?
Again, I don't know the workings of MSI files. You might be limited to what you can do. I don't know.

Re: Fatal Error: Error 1001 - What is it?
Sigh.
It's just this one user currently so no, I know of no way to recreate. I was hoping the log would contains something like:
* I'm about to do this.......
* Then: Fatal Error -or- Success.
That way we would have a clue what happened.

Fatal Error: Error 1001 - What is it?
This error I see from time to time and I must say: It is so frustrating that it is not more descriptive. Don't know if an MSI issue or AdvancedInstaller.

Program is already installed message. How can I get around that please?
If our program is already installed and if the user runs the setup again, we want it to just reinstall.
We do not want the message of: "Program is already installed. If you need to reinstall, you will need to uninstall first".
We don't want that.

Re: Stuck @ Preparing Backup Operation
Never mind! Seemed to be an issue with VMWare and computer hardware. (I test all installs inside of VMWare Workstation). Cable to CD drive was loose, so VMWare was having an issue. Turned maching off, tightened all connections, rebooted, started VMWare and the install works fine now.
Sorry!

Stuck @ Preparing Backup Operation
Version 9.7. Previous install with 9.6 and 9.61 went fine. In fact this is the74th version of this install and the first with 9.7. Always worked in the past, now the install gets stuck at: Status: Preparing backup operation
Very frustrating. What do you need from me to debug this?
