Re: AI 13.5 Prerequisite blocks installer even if Install Condition fails

I tried to reproduce the issue by creating a sample project from scratch, but was unable to do so. However, I can still reproduce the problem with a simplified version of my application installer (see attached). There are 3 prerequisites: 1. Vista Platform Update (x86) - This is required on Vista fo...

AI 13.5 Prerequisite blocks installer even if Install Condition fails

My installer has a prerequisite that is only required on Vista. My Install Condition specifies Vista SP2, and "Continue with main installation even if the prerequisite is not installed" is not checked. When building my installer with AI 13.4, this prerequisite is correctly skipped on Windows 8.1 and...

Re: Prerequisite install condition not executing (Vista SP2)

Daniel, Thanks for the response. For some reason I was thinking this would be executing cmd.exe from C:\Windows\System32 on the user's system rather than bundling cmd.exe with the installer. Your explanation makes a lot more sense. Is there a way I can execute a bat file or command line install cond...

Re: Prerequisite install condition not executing (Vista SP2)

I realize I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I was never able to get this problem resolved. I've installed the latest AI 13.2.1 Release Candidate and confirmed that when I try to install the Vista Platform Update (KB971512) on Vista SP2, my install condition still appears to be ignored. If I reboot...

Upgrade to 13.2 causes installer to crash when prerequisite uses custom exe condition

I recently upgraded to Advanced Installer Professional 13.2, and my installer now crashes. I've narrowed it down to the condition for my install prerequisite (a Windows update). My install condition is set to Search done by a custom executable , with the exe being C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe and the...

.NET 4.6.1 prerequisite install condition on Windows 10

Hello, I think there should be an update to the .NET 4.6.1 prerequisite install conditions. - Windows 10 should be included in the "Supported Windows versions" since .NET 4.6 is included in Windows 10 RTM (4.6.1 was not included until the November update, version 1511). - The registry check should b...

Re: "Entry Point Not Found" when installing on Vista SP1 (built with 12.7)

Dan, Thanks for the fast turn-around! I tested 12.7.1 and it seemed to work fine for me. However, I noticed that if I try to install my application on XP SP2, I get the following error: "This application cannot be installed on systems older than Windows XP SP3 32-bit or XP SP2 64-bit."

Daniel wrote:Unfortunately currently I'm not aware of any available workaround other than downgrading AI to 12.6.1 version.
For the time being that works for me. The main thing I was getting out of the 12.7 update was the .NET 4.6.1 prerequisite, so I can add that manually to my project for now.

If I build my installer with Advanced Installer 12.7 and try to run it on XP SP2 or Vista SP1, I get the following error: " The procedure entry point SetSearchPathMode could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.

Updater localization

Hello, In Advanced Installer 12.6.1, there is very little I can do to localize the Updater project. If I show "Selected or known" languages in the Translations page, the only language it shows in English. Selecting any other language indicates the Advanced Installer does not have translations, even ...

Updater auto-close does not work if application window not activated

I am including the Auto-Updater in my installer (Advanced Installer Professional 12.6.1). My WPF application is built using VS2015 targeting .NET 4.0 (but typically running under .NET 4.5.2 or higher). I tested this behavior on Windows 7 x64. The auto-close feature does not appear to work if the app...

Re: Prerequisite install condition not executing (Vista SP2)

Dan, I can still reproduce the problem. Can you confirm if you built the install on Windows 7 or Windows Vista? If I build the installer on Vista, then everything works properly. If I build the installer on Windows 7 (have not tried 8 or 10) then try to install on Vista SP2, then I experience the pr...
