Re: AI 19.6 - How to create a Solution for multiple Projects?

Thanks, I didn't see anything in the help documentation about this. I tried adding a 2nd project, but got a "Duplicate project ID not allowed" error. The 2nd project was made as a copy of the first one with different prerequisites (one of them embeds all the prerequisites in the installer for offlin...

AI 19.6 - How to create a Solution for multiple Projects?

I see in the recent 19.6 release that you can now create a solution to link multiple projects together. However, I don't see where I can do this? The only information I've seen in the Help documentation is details about the Edit Solution Options dialog, but no information on where to find it. I'm ru...

Re: AI re-selects "Require Internet Connection" on me

Sorry, I just read the reply in more detail. In my latest installer, I added the .NET 4.8 prerequisite, but I chose to download and include it in my installer rather than download it at install time. I don't recall seeing the notification at the bottom, but I may have missed it.

Re: AI re-selects "Require Internet Connection" on me

Also, while I do have prerequisites in my installer, none of them require internet access. This is intended to be a fully offline installer.

Re: AI re-selects "Require Internet Connection" on me

I've had this same issue occasionally over the years, and it just happened to me again today. It always seems to happen when I install a new version of AI (I just upgraded from AI 18.8.1 to 19.1 prior to building my most recent installer), although it doesn't happen every time I upgrade. Perhaps onl...

Re: Append REG_EXPAND_SZ registry value?

Daniel, Thanks for the tips, that got me most of the way there. However, I want to make sure the I don't append the same value to the registry entry multiple times if the user uninstalls and reinstalls the application. I wanted to set a condition of the Registry entry component of NOT ( REG_SEARCH ~...

Append REG_EXPAND_SZ registry value?

Hello,

I have an existing REG_EXPAND_SZ registry key that I want to add a new path to. However, the Edit Registry Entry dialog only lets me select "Append to existing value" for REG_SZ and REG_MULTI_SZ. How can I append to a REG_EXPAND_SZ, or is there a reason I should not be allowed to do this?

Installer aborts with error 1001 if unable to download prerequisites

Hello, If my installer is unable to download any of its prerequisites, I get an "Error 1001" dialog and the installer aborts with "Setup ended prematurely because of an error." This appears to be the case since AI 13.5, and is still an issue with AI 14.0.1. My prerequisite is set to "Continue with m...

.NET 4.7 Prerequisite

Is there any estimate on when .Net 4.7 will be available as a Predefined Prerequisite?

In the case of Windows 7 SP1, will the DirectX Components for WPF KB4019990 be available as a prerequisite as well (see Microsoft's general availability announcement)?

Thanks,

Brandon

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

Thanks for the guidance. I wasn't actually planning to do this, I just wanted to see if it made a difference in this case. I have another feature-based prerequisite in my actual installer, and I wanted to see if I would run into any issues if it failed. This was just a quicker test to do.

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

Yes, moving the Vista Platform Update prerequisite after the .NET 4.6.2 prerequisite appears to fix the issue.

It also seems to work if I move NET 4.6.2 to a Feature-based prerequisite, while keeping the Vista Platform Update as a Pre-install prerequisite.
