Re: Delete XML element on upgrade

Hi,

our project is set to 'Install new version first and then uninstall old version'.

I also thought that remove on uninstall was about uninstall of this version, not uninstall of previous version.

Anyway, this didn't work.

Delete XML element on upgrade

Hi,

I need help to remove a XML element from an application config file during update.

In the 'Edit XML File' dialog there is only an option to remove element on uninstall, how can I accomplish this on an upgrade of my application?

Any ideas?

Re: Automatic repair after upgrade

It worked, although AI 10.2 caused some problems. After some stumbling about how to use the File To Launch and Command Line properties I ended up with an invalid entry in the projectfile.

Something like
<ROW Action="LaunchFile" Type="2" Source="viewer.exe" Target="<target file>"[#repair.bat ...

Re: "Search the 64-bit portion of the registry" ??

One final question :)

If I set the "Search the 64-bit portion of the registry" option, and this installer is run on a 32-bit OS - will the search be skipped, or will it search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MY_KEY\MY_REG_VALUE ?

sincerely

Re: "Search the 64-bit portion of the registry" ??

Hello,

When you check the "64-bit portion of the registry" option, the search will look in the 64-bit portion of the registry. Otherwise, it will look in the 32-bit portion.

In your example, the 64-bit portion of the registry is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook ...

Automatic repair after upgrade

Hi,
I am working with an 'Install new version first and then uninstall old version' installer where I have to do some serious "refactoring" of some Components. In this Components I have located several files with a shared key, and the file "holding" the key must be deleted. This in turn leads to ...

Re: Update .config file

Hi,

and thank you for your answer, but my situation is a bit more complex :?

I have set the component for the config file to Never Overwrite to prevent overwriting of user modified config files, this setting also seems to prevent the New/Edit XML file operation for doing its work.

In my New/Edit ...

Re: Update .config file

For all that I know - that I have set "Install new version first and then uninstall old version" might have some implications here.

Re: Update .config file

Well, I have read that article, and to be honest it doesn't elaborate much about the difference between an upgrade and an install.

In both circumstances the file will exist before the XML update process starts, so how do I differentiate the actions between this two situations?

Re: Signing packages on Win 7

I can confirm the same issue on Windows 7 / 64 bit.

This must be an AI bug, because .NET SignTool.exe is completely unrelated to Capicom.

After installing this "Security Update" both the x86 and the .NET (64) version of SignTool could be used from AI.

Update .config file

Hi,

have a problem here I can't figure out.
In my installer project I have an application .config file I have set as Version - Get from file (so it doesn't get overwritten when first installed), then I have a New XML file target with the same filename where I set the db configuration with the ...

Re: Sql Server browse no longer shows instances

I can confirm this, AI 7.5.2 build 26791 doesn't find/display instances on the sqlservers it find. SQL Browser is enabled, tried both modes.
