Re: Alt Key Accelerator Not Working

This topic applies to Install Aware Multi Platform as well. An accelerator cannot be shared by more than one component. If an accelerator is used in the caption field of a label, that label will select the control referred to in its FocusControl property. Your: Data&base Name label appears to be...

Re: ASLR / DEP in Installer

That's a lofty goal but one that is impossible to realize. Install Aware includes tens of gigabytes of runtimes (so much so that they no longer fit in a single file installer [reaching the hard 4 GB Windows executable limit when 32-bit-extraction compatible compression is employed]), none of which w...

Re: Setup file(.mia) in temp folder blocking to start the setup

John, I hear what you are saying, and I agree that that should take care of it. However, I can duplicate and resolve with 100% consistency with the steps I provided on any machine - all I need to do is delete the contents of %TEMP%. It's the difference between theory and practice. So, something mus...

Re: Automated installer build using docker

That's a fair question. If you're confident you don't need all those runtimes, just delete them! 21.6 GB is the full size of my fully-installed Install Aware X16 folder though. I'm honestly not sure why your container grew so large. It is clear Docker doesn't support many low-level optimizations per...

Re: IA Multi Platform (Linux) how to expand path in the script

The latest build incorporating this fix for InstallAware Multi Platform is now live.

Your web update client will tell you more about what's new in this build, but most exciting to me was the availability of silent installations on InstallAware Multi Platform for the first time.

Enjoy!

Re: Automated installer build using docker

That is great to hear! Yes, the file you tested is the minimum installation scenario, which wouldn't install the command line build tool by design. Now that we've validated the fix works, I'll be sure to let the stakeholders involved know they may push this fix into production. Then you would be abl...

FYI I have seen the loading dialogs have been removed, since they were only visible for less than a second anyways.

Re: Service Doesn't Get Created

You shouldn't need to.

Just trim everything else away and provide only the service issue.

Often times, undertaking this exercise itself will resolve the issue when you discover a lurking unspotted error.

Re: IA Multi Platform (Linux) how to expand path in the script

Just to let you know that R&D have informed me Remove Directory was indeed not supporting variables before, but this issue is already fixed in the next scheduled update with a plethora of other improvements and fixes.

Re: Language selection dialog box - not displayed every time

This topic applies to Install Aware Multi Platform as well. In maintenance mode, your language has already been chosen before. It must be retained for installed integrity to be preserved, as you may have already installed language-specific content, which could be misplaced/damaged if you were to per...
