Issue with URL Prerequisites in Advanced Installer's App Installer Theme

Description:
I'm encountering an issue with Advanced Installer when using the App Installer theme. Specifically, when configuring more than three URL prerequisites, any prerequisite beyond the third appears unchecked during installation but still installs. Additionally, interacting with its checkbox sets the associated property value to 0, and subsequent toggling doesn't change this value. This behavior occurs regardless of how the prerequisites are set up or ordered.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an installer project in Advanced Installer.
2. Apply the App Installer theme.
3. Add more than three URL prerequisites to be installed before the main package.
4. During installation, observe the following:
- The fourth and subsequent prerequisites appear unchecked but still install.
- Attempting to check these prerequisites results in their associated property values being set to 0, with no change upon further toggling.

Troubleshooting Attempts:
- Reordered the prerequisites.
- Deleted and recreated the prerequisites from scratch.
- Switched to a different installer theme, which resolved the issue.

Additional Observations:
- The first three prerequisites function correctly; their checkboxes reflect the appropriate property values (1 when checked, 0 when unchecked).
- The problem consistently affects any prerequisite beyond the third one when using the App Installer theme.
- Haven't tested on other types of prereqs or installed at other time in the setup

Request:
Has anyone else experienced this behavior with the App Installer theme? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Specs:
Updated Windows 11 and have observe this behaviour from advinst 21 to 22.1

Re: Issue with URL Prerequisites in Advanced Installer's App Installer Theme

Hello and welcome to our forums,

I have tested this with a sample project and I can indeed confirm the behavior.

I have forwarded this to our development team and hopefully this will be fixed in a future version of Advanced Installer. As soon as the fix will be released we will notify you.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Best regards,
Liviu

Thanks ! I believe I've also noticed this theme don't apply the app icon for the taskbar and displays the advinst icon instead, been a while. This seems to work ok with other themes

You're always welcome!

In order to change the Taskbar icon on the App Installer theme, you can go to the Themes page -> Images tab and change the image for the TaskBarIcon and TaskBarIconDark properties.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Liviu
