Dear Kevin, Does this constantly happen on all machines? I am not able to reproduce this.. I have tried this on two different PCs, both running 64-bit Win7, and same result. Note that if I clear my %temp% each time before I build the installer package, there is no "missing mia.lib" proble...

I have run into the same problem. And as Ken pointed out, after clearing the %temp% folder, the installer works on the end user machine. This problem seems new in R10.10. I did not have this problem in R9.

Regards,
Kevin

Hello, A Win7 (64-bit) customer has this error when trying to run our installer. Here is the part of the log containing the error: MSI (s) (74:68) [11:45:29:138]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Components\A8CD4AD91379E0F3B85DCF71AC8684DA\14900E58FFDF69743A8BA3CC67F6CF5A 3: 5 MSI (s) (74:68) [11:45:29:161]...

In this case, why bother to copy them from $SUPPORTDIR$ to target temp dir? Why not just invoke the setup files directly (Run Program $SUPPORTDIR$<myApp_setup.exe>) ?

The problem is fixed now. It turned out that I also need to add another Merged Module: Policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello, I am using Merged Module to deploy an MSVC runtime with my installer (the merged module is microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm). And I can see that it is being merged to the installer at the build time. But it did not seem to be installed to system32 in a target 32-bit XP machine. Thanks for any help....

Thank you for your reply and example. Now it makes sense to me. I am an IA newbie, this is the first time that I heard of File Bag. I'll try the technique in my bundle installer.

Thanks again,
Kevin

Thanks for the reply. I tried commenting out the APPLY INSTALL from my bundle installer, it stopped working because the setup exe files for the individual products are not installed to MYTEMPDIR. I am wondering how do you copy or install the msiexec files to the target machine without calling APPLY ...

Thanks, Andy. I got it working now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a question about the step 6). Is it possible to avoid APPLY INSTALL command? I thought that in step 3) we'll have to install the individual setup file to MYTEMPDIR. My understanding is that those pink INSTALL command are not run until APPLY INSTALL command is called.

Hello, I have a question on building 32/64-bit hybrid installer. It seems that the recommended approach is to invoke the 32-bit installer from with the 64-bit installer (or vice verse). Since the 32-bit installer is invoked in silent mode, the destination path will need to be based on the result of ...

Hello, I have installers for several apps, and we'd like to build a bundle installer that will install multiple apps based on users' selection. Here is what I planned to do, I would like to get any feedback to the approach that I am using. 1) create a new bundle installer project (using basic instal...

Hello Andy,

Thanks for your help. The problem is solved now, it is just like what was described in the thread you forwarded - I need to change the upgrade codes for each of the installers that I created.

Many thanks,
Kevin

Thanks, Andy. I will look at the references that you provided. When I use Debug to step through the installer, it shows that the error occurred at the APPLY INSTALL command. I suspect the problem is with the Environment where the installer is run, since some of them works and some fails after severa...

Hello, I build several installers using InstallAware 9 R2. The installers that I built worked initially, but after several uninstall and re-install, they stopped working at the Apply Install stage with error message "Fatal Error During Installation". Re-boot does not help. I logged the ins...
