"Build" Property

Is there a "Build" Property, so the following can be determined?

Set to the name of the build the user installed.

Re: "Build" Property

Hi,

The property that you are interested in is "AI_BUILD_NAME". This should contain just the desired information.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Re: "Build" Property

Code: Select all

Here is what you can try:
-- go to Table Editor page in Advanced Installer
-- in the left pane select the table "Property" from the list
-- in that table you shall find the property "ProductCode" to which you can set its value as desired
-- also on the toolbar of that page you will see a combobox from which you can select the desired build

This suggestiong doesnt address the Product Codes for the other 22 languages in my installer besides English.

Is it possible to have a different Product Code for each Language in each Build so I can use just one AIP file?

So bascially I have 5 builds in one aip file that has the installer in 23 languages. (as you know each language has its own Product Code in Options | ID's)

How do I assign a difference Product Code to each Language in each Build so that each one will install next to each other.

Right now, If I install one build out of the five, then it says, " A Previous version is already installed, please uninstall the previous version to install this product"

Then this makes all the Builds useless if I cant install next to each other. I know that its reading the Product Code of the aip file to determine this, so any suggestions?

Re: "Build" Property

Hi,

I'm afraid this is not possible, you cannot have different ProductCodes for the packages depending on the language and build.
All the builds will have the same ProductCode for a certain language.

This improvement is on our TODO list and will be implemented in a future version.
