Hello,

When our product is being installed at a particular customer location, they are getting this error during a file download operation: -536870890.
They are using ZScaler, I'm told.

Please see attached snapshot (please note that I have erased the product name and the URL in the snapshot, but ...

Hello Catalin,

This happened only once, and I'm not seeing it now. I'll post back here if I face this again.

Thanks,

Hello,

We have upgraded to version 23.5.1 recently and built our installer as usual. However, after the application is installed and run, I get some application crash errors reported in the Event Viewer. One such error is this:

Faulting application name: advinst.exe, version: 23.5.1.0, time stamp ...

Hello Catalin,

As of now, we are not working on this feature, so I shall get back when we are working on it.

Thanks again,

Hello,

In our installer, we have some archives which are downloaded using a "File Download" operation from specified URLs. This operation is specified in the "Files and Folders" section.

And then, the contents of the archive are extracted using an "Extract Archive" operation. There are certain ...

Also, in an Update Config project, when a new update is created, it asks for an installer file. This shows up in the "File path" in the "Update Installer" tab. And this path cannot be removed. Is this by design?

Since, in the "Properties" tab, we just want to specify the "Main URL", and have the ...

Hello,

I've configured auto-updates for our application (in manual mode), and I've uploaded an upgraded version of the installer to a server, whose URL is accessible publicly. I've verified that this URL is reachable, and this installer EXE downloads correctly.

In the Updater section of the ...

Hello Catalin,

Looks like my project file was corrupted for some reason. After I re-made the changes to the baseline project I has saved, and rebuilt, it works fine now.

I shall post back again, if I encounter such a problem in future.

Thanks again,

Just adding a relevant section of the log file generated:

Hello,

I've made some changes to my Advanced Installer project to download and extract some ZIP files from an Internet location.
This worked the first time I built and used the installer.

However, from the next run onwards, it gives the error "Could not access network location true.". From the ...

Hello Catalin,

Yes, we need both options, a full UI as well as a silent install.

For the full UI, I believe just checking/ unchecking the prerequisites in the PrerequisitesDlg would handle this. Is a property required here too?

Thank you,
SDutt

Hello Catalin,

If I have multiple such prerequisites, how do I associate a different property with each of them?

For example, if I have PreReq1 and PreReq2, and I want to install only PreReq2 and not PreReq1. In that case, I would need different properties to be associated with each such ...

Hello,

In my installer project, I have some prerequisites to be installed before the main package.
These prerequisites show up in the PrerequisitesDlg during installation, where they can be checked or unchecked.

But for a silent install, for example, if the command line is:
"MyApp.exe" /exenoui ...

SDutt

Hello,

Actually, if I set the Value of these check boxes to true in the dialog, then the environment variable is set correctly, but only if the check box is selected during the installation.

If the user unchecks the checkboxes, the value is not set to false in the environment variable. In fact ...

SDutt

Hello,

In our project, we would like to set some environment variables based on some user selections in the installer dialogs.

For example, I have a custom dialog where I have some checkboxes. The property names of the checkboxes are something like:

CHECKBOX_SEL1

CHECKBOX_SEL2, etc.

So, I have ...
