AdvancedInstaller Problem

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

I'm trying to use the AdvancedInstaller action. I'm using FB version 5.5.0.347.

When I run this action, the AdvancedInstaller window with command line options is displayed and I get FB error message below.

Action Failed with Return Code : 536805277

Thanks,

Hi John,

Thanks for your post. Can you please explain in more detail what happened? Does the Advanced Installer window actually pop up over FinalBuilder? Did AI actually run as expected, and if it failed did you see any specific error message? What version of AI are you using? Finally, can you copy and paste the log output from the action and post it up?

Thanks very much.

Regards,

Angus

Hi,

Yes the AI window was displayed with command line instructions. FinalBuilder displayed the message with the action return code.

I was able to get around this by using the Shell execute action to run the install script. I used the /Build option in the shell execute.

Thanks

John

I'm also seeing this problem.

FB v5.5.0.627

Advanced Installer v6.2

When the action runs I see a console window open with the same contents as if I had executed "AdvancedInstaller.com /?"

The FB log shows "Action failed with return code : 536805277"

Please help!

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi John & Patrick

I just had a look into this, and it seems the current Advanced installer action is not compatible with Advanced Installed 6.x, as they have changed the command line options enough to break our action. We will probably have to create a new action to work with version AI 6.x. In the mean time you can use the Execute program action, the AI help file does have good examples of how to call it from the command line.

Sounds good. I'll be happy to test this when you get the new action implemented.

Thanks for the quick response. FinalBuilder continues to be one of my favorite and most valued development tools.
