Hello, I've created the suite installation that installs MSI with features. It allows user to select one or more features. Now I am creating major upgrade for this product and I need to upgrade only the features the user previously installed. However since the upgrade have new product code, the suite installer does not detect which features are installed and select all of them for upgrade. Is there any way how to detect the installed features or tell the msi to upgrade only what is installed? I used technique described here for the original suite: http://blogs.flexerasoftware.com/installtalk/2013/01/configuring-package-features-from-a-suiteadvanced-ui-or-advanced-ui-installer.html Many thanks, Marek ...

Hello, I was trying to configure recovery actions for my service on install, but the error has occured. The error and my IS configuration and desired windows service configuration is on the pictures. How can I correctly configure this Recovery Actions? I am running the setup as administrator and when I do the configuration manually, it just works. And the second question is how to configure this service to act reasonable during the patch progress. By reasonable I mean: 1. Stop service 2. Patch files 3. Start service This topic is not very well documented and I cant find it anywhere on the web. Everyone is just recomending using some .exe custom actions and I wanted to avoid that since IS has support for installing services.

Hello, I am trying to create custom DLL with actions for advanced UI suite project. I was unable to find some simple example how to implement that function. My approach was: void _stdcall MyAction() { ISuiteUIExtensionPtr ptr; ISuiteUIExtension* suiteUIExtension = ptr.GetInterfacePtr(); suiteUIExtension->put_Property(BSTR("Test"), BSTR("hello")); } But seems not to work by calling it in action using : {MyActions::MyAction} Can anyone please share some sample code, how this function should be implemented?
