Re: Run as Administrator

Steve, You can do this during the installation, so that it does not have to be done when the software runs. In the left hand pane, under "Project" click the "Register" option, click the "Other" tab, click the "Add" button, select the "File" that you ...

Re: Run as Administrator

Steve, I am curious as to why you need your application to run as an administrator? If you are writing to the registry, then be sure to use HKCU at run time.

Would it be possible to add a feature so that when uninstalling the software, we could uninstall the last update and rollback to the previous version?

Re: v6.2 does not check registry

If you are doing this check in Prerequisites, be sure you have the Registry bitness set appropriately. If you are using "Any" on a 64 bit system, it may not be checking HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\...

We are using v6.2 and check for the VS runtimes with every installation without issue.

Re: Chaining multiple program installation

Swinster, You can do all of these tasks but, I do not know if you need the Pro version to do all these. We have the Pro version and it has been well worth the purchase. If you want to actually install other applications, you will need to deliver those setup programs with your setup and then run them...
