Thanks for the tip! Helps a lot to have two running for comparisons etc

Cheers!

It makes total sense and i bet I know why mine fails to do the uninstall. I modified my installer to not advertise (i think thats what its called), and not show the majority of windows upon install. I guess I need to re-enable the dialog which prompts the user for the options you mentioned. I will t...

OK, here is what I did. 1. Deployment Type - UnCompressed Directory Layout 2. Debug Build - Checked 3. Compression - None 4. Output - unchcecked 'Change revision code automatically' 5. I then click Build - CD or DVD and it compiles and builds my setup in debug mode correctly 6. I then click on the D...

If I uncheck that setting, what do i click next to fire the uninstall. I am not in front of my machine right now so bear with me, I know i have a Start Debug button which starts the installer. Do i press that once it is installed (in debug mode) and because i did not change the revision code as you ...

I am also trying to figure out why my files and registry settings are not being un-installed. I install using debug mode and i can step through no problem. But how do i start the uninstall process. If i click debug it just upgrades the program but never hits the Apply Uninstall section. Any help?! T...

I have tried using the versioning 0.8.77.01 ... 0.8.77.02 etc
also 0.8.77 ... 0.8.78 etc

Is there a standard for InstallAware? What does the update look to? 3 levels or 4?

I just created two packages, and a patch. Uploaded the patch to the web server along with the updates.ini created when i made the update packs etc. Ran update service and all ran fine, instyalled patch with no problem. Ran update service again and it should come back and say "No Updates Found&q...

stevew - you saved me a lot of frustration with this plug-in!! Thanks mate, I'll hoist a cold one tonight in your honor. (or at lunch, who knows)

I understand that, so i added another Apply Patch but the registry entries still do not get written. Is this the correct way to do this?

I have tried this a dozen times now. Updates.ini looks fine to me.

What do you mean by 'references'?

didn't work.

Write Registry only actually writes after an apply install is called. So i added a second apply install after i call the writes and still no luck.

Any help?!

How, if possible, do i debug a patch. We are having lots of issues with no answers found from queries on the forums so far and this would help immensely. Every time we get ready to purchase the full versions for our team we run into something we can't get an answer for, hopefully support is better o...

This should be quick i hope. I set a variable in the updates script based on a condition found When control comes back to the main script and Apply Patch is called i want to be able to write this variable to the registry but i have no idea how to reference it. Is this possible? And how if so Cheers

any way you could post what solved it? having same issue

This is frustrating as hell so hopefully someone has run into this before I have an application that i build as version 0.8.71.00 i then create an installaware full installer using the same version number I make a couple changes and create a new installer under product version number 0.8.72.00 I cre...
