This only started happening after the latest update patch 22.5, though it's possible I have updated some setting somewhere.
I use the default options and the prerequisite is installing based on a condition, is a file on disk (not bundled one from AI bucket).

I install the app without prerequisite ...

My application has several *.config files under the C:\ProgramData\Comanyname\product\producid\ folder.

The same project in Advanced installer 18 never had any issues. No changes were done in AI on this folder but we upgraded to AI 21.x (latest) and now after installation (no errors, no mentions in ...

I'm trying to detect if .net 4.8 is installed and the top way MS says to detect is looking at registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
Subkey Release
Value = greater than 528040

Advanced installer wont let me enter the 528040 number though I can enter ...

Is there any updated recommended method to solve this? Lots of new versions since this post.
I have a config file where I'd like to pass in a path value users will enter/select in the installer, and replace that specific setting in the text file.
Just looking for best practice and method.

Hi Caitlin,
Thanks for the ideas here. I should have been more specific I think.
I have setup IIS default website and app pool in AI latest version.
I don't see how in your method to make the default web and associated app pool checkboxed windows features. Unless I'm missing something your ...

I have looked at that page previously but didn't think it was exactly what I was looking for maybe the description is misleading (have user select a second folder in addition to the appdir).
I want the user to select the only folder where the files go, and to have the default I prefer show up in the ...

I noticed this issue after 7.0 upgrade.
I updated today to 7.1.1
Still the certificate store is empty in this drop down. in 6.9 the drop down showed the many certs that appear in windows as well as my own cert.
I read through the thread on the windows kb ...

Hi I'm having a hard time finding out how to make some of the AI modules to be an optional feature for the end user.
I can make a dialog and add a checkbox but I don't think this gets me what I am after. I have an IIS Website and app pool setup but I only want it to be attempted to be installed if ...

To make registration and unregistration easier and to be able to use the
/tlb /codebase
flags my app requires using the 64bit .NET framework registration commands eg.
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Regasm XL1.dll /tlb /codebase

I decided to do a custom action that calls the .bat ...

It turned out to be 2 issues:

1. My work blocks the timestamp gather url that AI defaults to causing an error (could be better message).
I found another timestamp URL that wasn't blocked and it started working.
2. Through a VPN my IP address looks different, this caused the personal digital Cert ...
