Hi Cosmin,

I simply need to rename one of the files installed by the installer and have the installer not remove that file.

Hi there,

Our installer needs to rename one of the installed components upon uninstall. What would be the best approach to doing this? I'm relatively new to AI and am still feeling my way around it's very rich feature set.

Thanks,

However, the correct way is to recreate one of the projects from scratch as the the components guids are the same too and could appear problems.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I might suggest that the suggestion of starting a new aip from scratch is truly ridiculous. There should be a way in ...

I am using the same installer package to create similar applications produced for one of our clients. The Product Name is different between the different installers.

A client is testing our installer on Vista is reporting that the installer is not focusing as the frontmost application when launched. Is there anything I can do in the AI application to control this? Any suggestions why this might be occurring?

Hi,

So... what do I tell my client who wants to provide art files to me for the Banner Bitmap and the "PrepareDlgBitmap_1"? What sizes should those elements be?
Like I mentioned in my previous post, the size recommended by Microsoft is 500 pixels wide by 70 pixels high. Therefore, the banner ...

Hi Adam,

I'm afraid that there is no actual method for converting installer units in pixels. This is because the relative size of dialogs, controls and fonts can change depending upon the font size used in the UI of the package. However, you can use the size recommended by Microsoft:

A client has supplied me with a Photoshop file to brand their installer. When I save the image as a 72dpi jpeg at 370 x 44 (the size of the default banner image in the FolderDlg dialog) and use it in the dialog it becomes terribly pixelated. What am I doing wrong?
