The Installer Testing Guide - Q&As
4:53 | How did you get the idea of writing this ebook?

8:56 | What are the most common problems you’ve seen with packages?
The low hanging fruits - the easy to solve problems

13:50 | How do you decide what is the best tool to create your virtual testing environment?

16:18 | Does Advanced Installer offer VM images?

17:53 | I have a consumer application. Do i need to test the installer in both user and system context or just the user context?

19:12 | What is the best way to pass a variable to the installer?

21:16 | Junk installers are a huge problem in enterprises. Nearly all vendors supply installers are buggy or broken. Do you have any general tips for fixing the terrible installers that vendors provide? What are the unfixable errors that require repackaging?

24:54 | Is there a specific order for installer testing?

25:52 | What would you recommend between Active Setup, RunOnce and Run to execute an action under user context?

30:32 | We are a small business and we want to develop a new product. We are not sure if is better to stick with the old setup installer format which we successfully implemented for a couple of other products, or make the move towards MSIX. What would you recommend? And what shall we be aware of in terms of testing if we want to go with MSIX?

35:36 | Is it possible to check if a GPO installation works with my MSI file?
I don't have the environment (AD) to test it myself. My MSI contains five other MSIs, that are in the "Prerequisites", because they have to be deployed in the correct order.

37:15 | We use Advanced Installer to package our products. Sometimes, when we update our products, the installer leaves the entry of the former version in the installed software list of the Control Panel.
What could be the reasons of why this happens?

39:33 | What do you think about MSI wrappers?
To be more precise - Use a wrapper MSI from already implemented and working NSIS installer.

40:31 | We create the MSI installer from scratch using WiX Toolset. We have a lot of tasks that we create with custom actions. Another issue is custom dialogs - we have a lot of checking is the entered data is correct. Other issues are: creating users with admin rights and creating scheduled tasks.
We overcame a lot of the problems, but a few remained and we came up with the idea of purchasing Advanced Installer. Can we use it to achieve these points faster than further exploring WiX? What do you think about WiX compared to Advanced Installer?
