Custom actions in your installer are now easier to see, sort, and move.
You can drag them between sequences in the redesigned Custom Actions view in Advanced Installer 24.1.
This release also brings new Azure Key Vault auth options and more PowerShell automation. #MSI #AzureKeyVault #PowerShell

Want a custom UI for your MSI? One route is a WPF bootstrapper that embeds the package and runs msiexec /qn /norestart behind your own wizard.
Then you own the details: APPDIR vs INSTALLDIR vs INSTALLFOLDER depending on the authoring tool, a background thread so the UI does not freeze, requireAdministrator, and a custom uninstall entry that points to your EXE in ProgramData.

We build it the hard way first, then show the same result with the Dialog Editor in Advanced Installer (Enterprise edition).

Want your installer wizard to let users pick features and show a custom closing message based on their choice? The Dialog Editor can do that.
The demo covers a logo set on the Themes page (not Dialogs), a EULA line with a hyperlink on WelcomeDlg, and three checkboxes linked to features through Next button events.
Note: This feature needs the Enterprise edition.

The exit message uses a Show/Hide condition on the checkbox property.
Customizing your Windows app installer with the Dialog Editor - by Radu Popescu: advancedinstaller.com/dialog…
Managing custom actions in your installer just got easier. Advanced Installer 24.1 brings a redesigned Custom Actions view, so adding, organizing and moving them takes fewer clicks.

We also made Azure Key Vault signing more flexible with new authentication options, and added PowerShell automation for Dialog View, Digital Signature in Updates projects, and the Store setting inside the Updater option.
+ Generated Repackager scripts are easier to use, Sparse Packages accept internal or external executable paths, and Synchronized Folders filters now support regex.
