Hi all,
I am using the UI InstallDir in the installer of my product:

For some specific reason we need to get out the license page, so we need
to skip the step where the license is shown to the user.
Is there any way to do that?
TIA,

Hi all,
I would like to run a CA only on the first install. The CA shouldn't be

but it's not working, as the CA is still run on upgrade also.

I actually thought about doing it like this:
[code]
Notepad.exe
(NOT Installed)
AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE)
[/code]
This seems to be doing the job. Is this not correct?

Hi all,
I asked this question as part of another thread and then just noticed
that it was not the right place as that thread was basically about smth
else, so I'll ask this in a new thread here.
I would like a specific file, that it's NOT installed by the installer,
but later created by the us
at it
should happen only on real uninstall (not installs, not upgrades, not
repairs or modifies)?
Thanks,

Hi,
It's actually a good idea to start with a version lower than I ever
released, so I ended up doing like:

Hi all,
I would like my application to be upgraded if a newer version is run. So
the behaviour should be: if the user tries to install the already
installed version (meaning current version) or an older version, the
installer should bail out with the message "current or newer installed".

Hi,
If I make a faulty uninstaller and I can't uninstall my product again using the

that are coming from the .msi file?

Why would one do:

Is that correct?
