I found an unusual usage for the errorcode ERROR_UNKNOWN_PRODUCT at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370395.aspx If the user name is an empty string or NULL, the function operates on the per-machine installation of the product. In this case, if the product is installed only in the per-user ...

Hi bookie,

Sounds correct.

You can always double check that with the debugger, with messagebox debugging or with a logfile.

Filebags also have further advantages:
- the files don't get copied into the IA project dir
- can be included in web deploy blocks

Hi Peter,

blank lines are empty comments.
So, start typing "comment" and hit enter with the empty edit field of the command window.

Hi moppelstroppel,

I would be extremely surprised if any installer product offered a function to find that out.
You will have to write a dll, that you can call from your installer script.
To write the dll you might start at : http://www.opengl.org/

Hi dawidp, were the data files available when you built the patch? My understanding is that the installer has to be set up as if you wanted to make a full setup. And it detects the differences itself. Differences would only be found in the program files in your case. In addition, did you read the wh...

Hi nucce, in 5 minutes of research I found neither a simple InputBox command in InstallAware nor in the Win32 API. So it looks like you have to get that user input with an InstallAware dialog. Play a bit with the dialog editor, and if you have further questions feel free to ask. Writing to the regis...

Hi wileywilly,

in addition, did you read http://www.installaware.com/installawar ... pdates.pdf and have a look at the updates.ini files?

In your post you talk about product/revision codes and version numbers. These are two separate things.
