• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Anyone using Advanced Installer?

I have been a long time user of Clickteam's Install Creator. With a combination of it and some custom batch scripts that I have wrote, I have created a pretty efficient installation system.

However, I'm now looking for an installer with better configuration options. I decided to download Advanced Installer as it fulfills this need and it also allows for me to provide an updater system for my addons. (I know it's already used by A2A Simulations)

I have been playing around with it off and on, but am running into a bit of an issue. In IC, I can set up the installer so that the user can choose the simulator that they use. For each simulator version, I can then tell it to use multiple files directories for its sources (Usually, one for all shared files and one for native BGLs for that sim version only.) Each simulator version option will then fetch the appropriate install location from the registry.

Has anyone been able to set up something like this with Advanced Installer? I know that I could just build separate installers for each sim version, but I really like the idea of having it set up as an all-in one.

Thanks!
 
I used to use AI professionally, but it has been a few years. It seems like this is something you could do with "features"? Basically set up each flight sim as a feature with its own settings and locations. Like I said its been a few years but I think I remember using a similar scheme.
 
The only thing in using Advance Installer are if you use it do update you will have to have a server to host it on.
