We are trying to have our DLLs compiled for specific processor versions.

We have one set of DLLs for Intel32, and one set that is generic to all x86 architectures.

So, I have set up

Component1
foo.dll
bar.dll

Component2
x86foo.dll
x86bar.dll

And we use conditional statements on environment ...

In the simplest case, I'd like to have two components.

Component1 installs if the conditional evaluates to true, and Component2 installs only if Component1 won't be installed.

So, if I want to know, on first install, whether or not Component1 will be installed, and if not, install Component2, how ...

I believe this might be miscommunication from the user.

The action is set to "Asynchronous execution, do not wait for return" and for me and the user the uninstallation completes without problem.

It's the browser opening to an error page that the user was reporting as an error hanging uninstall ...

We are using the canned viewer.exe custom action to open a URL on uninstall that asks for feedback from the customer.

If that website is down the uninstallation seems to hang at that point.

Everything uninstalls fine, but it doesn't appear to have uninstalled.

Is there a way to make that ...

I had previously tried the script both with and without the parentheses and it made no difference.

However, putting it into the RemoveFolders standard action area appears to have made all the difference.

It is now working as expected.

Thanks!

We are using the built-in constraints in Advanced Installer, not a custom action, so how do I set a property based on the results of those constraints?

For example, we have a Launch Condition which states that if the machine reports less than 445MB of physical RAM, abort the installation.

Also, we ...

Here's the exact script I'm using in the attached custom action.

Function removeInstallDir()
SET fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
pathToFolder = Session.property("APPDIR")
smallPath=Left(pathToFolder,Len(pathToFolder)-1)
If (fso.FolderExists(smallPath)) Then
fso.DeleteFolder ...

We have a few constraints put into the installer program that prevent people from installing our software on machines with less than a certain amount of RAM, or if they are running an OS that's too old, or if they don't have Admin rights.

It would be very helpful for us to receive notification of ...

As I stated in my email to support, I do use the command line util to update the product version and product code during our automated nightly builds.

Perhaps when the builds ran last night they did something nasty to the product code?

Actually, the AIP files are broken in both 3.7.1 and 3.8

I always get the "Exception - Unexpected Exception" error.

This is becoming a serious issue.

sbeckett

When I try to open an installer file created in 3.7.1 I get an error window pop-up which says:

Window Title: Error

Window Body: Exception - Unexpected Exception

We are 5 days from launching our beta version, so I need to have this working immediately.

I know there is a 3.8.1 patch on the way ...

Works great except for Java projects with a bundled JRE. The path value I can edit is only the one without a bundled JRE.

Any way I can edit the bundled JRE path from the command line?

sbeckett

I see this made it into 3.7

Thanks very much!

I'm running a series of Advanced Installer builds nightly from the same Ant script.

If there's a problem with one, like a missing resource, it pops a dialog box and waits for user input before proceeding, meaning that the rest of the build process is suspended.

Is there a way to run with warnings ...

Mihai's method works much better, because it launches the default browser instead of hardcoding IE.

Thanks!
