Issue with <SetupTempDir> and Before Installation Commands

Post by timeToy »

Nothing from <SetupTempDir> is accessible for Before Installation commands, I can get system commands to triggers, but none of my files. When checking inside the Temp file I only see the installer itself and a big zip (aidatafile.zip) file with files numbered inside.

Am I doing something wrong? My App is a C# 32/64bit app. I have the Pro+ version.
No issues otherwise with Actual Installer

What command do you use in System / Command? Write full details.
And also make sure your files are located in <SetupTempDir> on the Files and Folders page.

That was my issue, thank you.

I want to play some music during installation like in an old school game loader, I'm able to play and stop the music, unfortunately the "After installation" is not enough for my need as the event doesn't fire when the app is closed without install.
Feature request, maybe you can add a onload and onquit events that trigger before the UI is show and when the installer quit for any reasons.

Thanks a lot, great installer!
