Re: Prerequisites do not install
Rebooting windows 7 fixed it, I should've known. Must be the old running out of open file descriptors. Not a very graceful way to handle things, the installer silently exits in this case. You get no indication, nothing, just a blank screen, and the user is wondering what is happening. The things ...

OK, I've built installer (call it main installer) that has 4 prerequisites: .NET Framework 4.0; .NET Framework 4.5; Installer Package 1 (IP-1); and Installer Package 2 (IP-2).
When I run main installer, the .NET Framework packages are detected as installed, and skipped. The two Installer Packages ...

Re: Proper approach to build advanced installer
Oh gosh, I got the batch to run by clearing the "Command Line:" field on the Launch File properties. The web page (http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-launch-batch-file.html) instructions for this field seem completely misleading, they state (and I quote): "The Command Line field should ...
