I was wondering if this is a common issue. I did not see anything out there on this. Yesterday I had a perfect installer. The one I built yesterday still works perfect. However today I add a comment and it stops working properly complaining that it can not find the file directory. I close the project and do not save the changes then reopen it. I clean out the install file location and build it again with the same code it had when it was perfect. It was experiencing the same issue. Weird thing is that I run in debug mode using F8 from beginning to end and it works perfect, except for the uninstall command. It tries to install the software again. Windows uninstall successfully starts the uninstall process but gets stuck.
After setting everything up I use the Apply Install to install the program and the Apply Uninstall to uninstall the program. Is there something that I need to reset? During the project build process I have built the installer many times. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of issue. Attached is my full project code minus the built in and unmodified Application Runtime scripts.
