I have been fighting an AdvancedInstaller problem on Windows server for over a week without resolution...
When we run the built installer for the first time, everything in our application works; the C++ executables use the redistributable (already installed), and run properly.
When we then ...

Re: Prerequisite being incorrectly marked as "found"
Answers to my own questions:
It turns out that happens immediately, but puts them in a subfolder called Prerequisites, which I missed on my first check.
(I don't know, but I will trust that this isn't going away soon, but is hopefully less problematic, given (4) )

Re: Prerequisite being incorrectly marked as "found"
Hello Caitlin,
We are, in fact intentionally picking the 32-bit prerequisite, as we are compiling and running as a 32-bit application because our software compilation currently relies on a software library that is only 32-bit compatible.

Prerequisite being incorrectly marked as "found"
I have been trying for a week without success to get one of my prerequisites to install when building the installer with A.I. 22.9. No matter what I do, when I run the installer, the log says:
MSI (c) (D4:1C) [15:30:09:436]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding AI_FOUND_PREREQS property. Its value is 'Microsoft ...

Re: Unable to determine what Advinst.exe doesn't like about my command line
Ok, I followed the example given above, and, after changing my generation of the .aic file to have a leading utf-8 BOM encoding marker, and ensuring that the file started with the apparently required leading ;aic comment, it finally accepted the command line.

Re: Unable to determine what Advinst.exe doesn't like about my command line
Hi Catalin,
I had already found the page you cited and was trying to follow the example given, but it isn't working, and AdvancedInstaller.com still won't tell me what is wrong.

I have built an Advanced Installer script that uses a bunch of properties; I have set defaults for those properties, and if I build my installer package from within the UI, it works, building my installer executable.
