"View readme file" checkbox is not shown in a "Modify" Maintenance Installation

Mon Mar 11, 2024 3:08 pm

Dear Advanced Installer Support team,

Environment
Windows 10 22H2
Advanced Installer 21.4

Problem
After a "Modify" Maintenance Installation the View readme file checkbox is not shown

Steps to reproduce
  • Create a new Advanced Installer Setup Project
  • Open Dialogs > ExitDialog
  • Open the Finish Actions tab
  • Check the Show "View Readme" option checkbox
  • Close the Select readme dialog with OK
  • Build and run the project
  • On Completing the Your Application Setup Wizard displays the View readme file checkbox. That works as expected :)

    • Click Finish
    • Run the project second time
    • On the Modify, Repair or Remove installation dialog press the Modify button

    • Bug: The checkbox for opening the readme is not displayed

    The problem is not urgent.
    I have raised the topic only because it is not exactly working as I have expected it.
    It would be nice, if you could have a look it.

    best regards,
    Stefan

Hello Stefan,

I have tested this with a sample project and I can indeed confirm the behavior.

I have forwarded this to our development team and hopefully this will be fixed in a future version of Advanced Installer. As soon as the fix will be released we will notify you on this forum thread.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Best regards,
Liviu
