stand-alone .exe as a prerequisite

I actually have 3 bare .exe (docker that ships just a zip file with exe files) files that I need to somehow add a a prerequisite. I am not sure the best way to handle this. I want to have a condition for the version of the .exe so if a new updater has a newer version it will prompt for installation....

Add support for adding SQL Script File to command line interface

We have a need where we want to modify the list of SQL scripts that are run as part of the installer. The names of the sql scripts change frequently as they contain versioning information in the title. So we need a way of attaching SQL Script Files to a known database server connection. AI-SQL-Scrip...

Re: Add temporary folders via the command line

What would be the suggestion then for achieving this goal then? Having a set of files within nested folders that I need to execute a custom action powershell script against? I am looking for solutions to work around the lack of functionality and its not clear to me what the best approach would be. TIA

Digital certificate expired but only for command line build

We use TeamCity to build our product and we have just recently tried to enable the digital signature for our application. The certificate in the "store" is one that we created and appears to work just fine when we build our project through the UI. When we build our product using TeamCity and the Adv...

Add temporary folders via the command line

Looking at: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/file-commands.html There doesn't seem to be options to add temporary folders, only files. I cannot use the GUI to do this but have to use the command line. Ultimately, I am in need of adding a nested tree of folders containing files that will ...

Re: Physical Source not updating to be relative to project file

After lurking through the forum, I am wondering further if there is no way the project automatically changes paths of synchronized files/folders which "should be" relative to the project file path. Looking at post: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28487 So what would be the b...

Re: Synchronize Temporary Files?

To give you a scenario that I think fits a sync of temporary files: I have a folder c:/dev/artifacts which contains a changing set of files almost on a daily basis. In the artifacts folder we are constantly updating the files in there that contain python packages. We want those to be temporary becau...

temporary file getting executed from additional temp location

So during our install process we have a custom action. This custom action is a powershell script that runs that uses $PSScriptRoot to help with pathing. So the directory structure during install looks like this: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\custom_stuff\script.ps1 Now script.ps1 references fil...
