Re: Useful to have option to get Product Version from main .exe

Yes, I understand what you mean now.
Is there a way to do this with VBScript (run MsiDatabaseOpenView in VBScript: because then I can create one vbs file that does it all, while in C# I have to create a project...)?

Many thanks, Dashut.

Re: Useful to have option to get Product Version from main .exe

If you look at the guide at: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/custom-action-properties.html you see the following comment: Deferred custom actions can receive information about the installation process, mostly only embedded in the CustomActionData property. However, this type of custom ac...

Re: Useful to have option to get Product Version from main .exe

1. I have a list of files that I want to get the version from. 2. I can only get the version of the files when I have passed/on the "install" phase. 3. In the "install" phase: you can't access windows msi Properties! meaning: the vbscript of custom action dll will NOT be able to access or set PROPER...

Re: Useful to have option to get Product Version from main .exe

Until you create this feature: how can I do this in the installer? The problem is: even if I create a custom action under the "INSTALL" phase (where I know that the files are deployed/copied already on the installation folder): I can't modify the MSI Properties (at this stage: it's not accessable)! ...

Different behaviour in AI 7.7 and 8.0.2 for DialogEvents

I upgraded my AI 7.7 to AI 8.0.2 and now my "next" button for my custom dialog page behaves differently! I looked at http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/edit-control-event-dialog.html but that doesn't explain the change I'm experiencing between the two versions of AdvancedInstaller. I have t...

Re: Useful to have option to get Product Version from main .exe

I also need the file version of the file (FileVersionInfo structure in C#).
I have AdvancedInstaller 8.0.2: does it exist there?

Thanks, Dashut.

AdvancedInstaller locking ServiceController

Using AI 7.7: I have experienced this problem before, and didn't find the reason. Now I further investigated the problem, and I found that AdvancedInstaller is holding ServiceController during upgrade. What this causes is that if I delete a Service (manually with a custom action "sc.exe delete <mySe...

Re: how can I sort "Custom Launch Conditions"?

You're right, however, these conditions will be run only after you have pressed the "install" button. The "Custom Launch Conditions" are validated before the welcome page: so you don't get to go through all the dialog pages (next/next/next) and then press "install": only to find out that some launch...

Re: How can I use the BrowseDlg for something else?

Okay, I read the remark you wrote, and I was using [MY_DIR] in the "Published Events" instead of just MY_DIR.
That solved the problem, and now my test program seems to be working.

Thanks again, Dashut.

Re: How can I use the BrowseDlg for something else?

I followed your instructions on the link you gave http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-browse-for-folder.html and tried to make my own test program just for this (not yet in my project). I also downloaded your example project: which I think you should have more stuff like that which should...

Re: how can I sort "Custom Launch Conditions"?

What can I say "go go Microsoft!".
So you say to create a custom action: where to run it?

How can I use the BrowseDlg for something else?

Using AI 7.7: The BrowseDlg is used by AdvancedInstaller to set/choose the installation folder for the application. I don't want to change that, but what I want is something just like that! In my program, there's some configuration directory that I need to choose/create for my program: and I want to...

how can I sort "Custom Launch Conditions"?

Using AI 7.7: in "Launch Conditions" -> "Custom Launch Conditions" you can add your custom conditions, however, I would like to sort them. But I don't see how this can be done. This forces me to create complicated conditions on the "Custom Launch Conditions" so manually create this order that I want...

Now I try to make this MessageBox appear, but nothing causes it to pop-up. I tried installing the msi...
