Hello Cosmin,

You are right: by installing the latest Microsoft SDK, the latest Orca MSI becomes available (Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/7.0/bin/). And installing this MSI (Orca v5.0) corrects the behaviour I previously described.

There is only ICE Error that is present is:
ERROR ICE27 Unknown ...

That seems to be a good idea, thanks Cosmin. ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$

Is it that one you are suggesting?

Do you have another link more direct to install Orca in the best version?

Sorry, there are no more errors on ICE 32. There still be ICE 27 and ICE 45.

Hi Cosmin,

I've just downloaded and installed AI 7.6.1. I've tried two experiments:

1- loading the test.aip I have sent to you
2- crating from scratch another test2.aip following the same steps as I did for test.aip

Both still have the same errors.

Maybe is it OS related? I'm using AI on a ...

Hi Gabriel,

Thank you very much for your answer. I've just sent a file to support at advanced installer dot com.

I did not send you any of my package as the problem occurs on all of them: I've sent you a newly created Enterprise package, with one file (the AIP file itself) and a blank SQL file ...

Hello,
It has been a long time this post has been written.

Using latest (7.6) version of Advanced Installers, it seems that the "warnings" are still there, for all builds.

ERROR ICE27 Unknown action: 'MsiConfigureServices' of InstallExecuteSequence table. Not a standard action and not found in ...

Hello Cosmin,

Here is the solution of the problem: there was a problem of rights at the root of the directory I was using. Our sysadmin added SYSTEM with all privileges recursively to this directory and it works fine.

Hope this would help someone else, now...

Hi Cosmin,

I discovered that the directory created in the Temp directory of my profile by AI is quite important: if I remove it, I have many trouble with my patch AIP file. Even if it is in a temp folder, it is a bad idea to remove it completely...

Anyway, no "~pcw_tmp.tmp". The system will go ...

For now, I had only tried to create patch and package on the same partition. Moving (Ctrl X / Ctrl V) all the files to another part of the partition (fixed disk) is leading to the same errors. Nevertheless, it is not a real physical copy, only a FAT addressing change.

Then I tried to move all the ...

Hi Cosmin,

I did not succeed in building the patch project, as it leads to an error reported on this post: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8112

Running MSI patch compatibility tests... done.
Creating PCP database... error.

Hello,

I am experiencing a strange error while creating a simple test patch.

I followed the tutorial, did not change the product code, use the same name for both msi, and only removed one file from the new one.

When adding the target, I have an error popup message : "This installation package ...

Nico-D

OK, I have sent the file, and Cosmin find the problem out: I forgot to declare the variable using 'DIM language" before affecting it.

Sorry for taking your time,

Hi Cosmin,

It seems that I cannot access any system property (such as 'ProductLanguage' or 'Manufacturer') through a VBS CA attached to 'UI Custom Actions'. I try to access the system properties using:

language = Session.Property("ProductLanguage")

and it dies invoking an error 2896 and no ...

Hi Cosmin,

Sorry for the delay. I'll implement this asap and take you informed.

Hi Cosmin,

Thanks for your answer. As this bug is minor for me (now), I'll take you informed when I'll process it.
