Hi Shunt, Thanks for that explanation. I will avoid using dynamic links for our next release. Best Regards

Quick patch oddity when attempting to patch Dynamically Linked files. Dynamically Linked files appear twice under 'Files', 'Original Setup Files'. The file will only be patched if I add BOTH of them to 'Files To Patch'. That works fine for installing the patch... but then the entire patch uninstall fails. How to handle patching of Dynamically Linked files? Thanks

Thanks Markus. I would not have thought of that, but it makes sense. I will try that when I get time.

Hi, We have some dlls that are used by multiple exes in different folders. When these exes are built, the dependent dlls get placed in each folder that they are used. How do I deploy these dlls to the target system without copying the dlls to multiple folders? I tried putting them in the GAC. Seems easy enough and builds the install package without errors. Although when I try to install, I get: Error 1936. An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘MyDll,Version=”AA.BB.CC.0”,Culture=’neutral”,FileVersion=”AA.BB.CC.0”,ProcessorArchitecture=”x86”. The assembly is not strongly named or is not signed. I have ‘Sign Files in Package’ set to yes and files are getting signed. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, Is there a way to get the Quick Patch version? I tried to use ISQuickPatchProperty, but can't get that to work. I want to write the Quick Patch version to a registry key via a custom action that gets executed with the patch. Thanks

Thanks. That helps.

What could be causing this? Thanks

Hi, We generate install packages with Basic MSI projects. Occasionally a windows update will trigger a repair of our application... at least I assume that is what is happening. All of out patches get reverted so that the app is back to the state in which it was originally installed. Wh

You can have any number of Dialogs and they are not all necessarily used as you can see. Go to Dialogs Click on 'Behavior' for one of your dialogs (DestinationFolder is probably the one you want) In the Behavior panel (to the right) click on 'Next' Look at the last pane on the right. There you will see that the last event is probably 'NewDialog'. The value in that field is the dialog that you will go to on click of Next. You may have to look in other Dialogs if your dialogs have been modified.

You can accomplish that by having separate Product Configurations. Go to the Releases tab. Right click on Releases and select 'New Product Configuration'. On the 'General' tab for each Product Configuration you can enter Subject and Title. Then you can specify the desired Product Configuration with the -a option in your command line for IsCmdBld.exe.

OOPS! Forget it. Files left over from a previous install (of course) 😞 I would delete this post if that was possible. Moderator, Please feel free to do so. Thanks

I have a Basic MSI project with a few components that are marked as Permanent (config files that I want to remain after uninstall). Some of these components also have conditions on them. It does not matter. Components that area marked as Permanent get installed regardless of condition. Is this a bug? Thanks
