Error during build: List index out of bounds

Postby Dandaman » Wed May 27, 2015 1:45 am

Hi I just installed InstallAware trail and converted my InstallShield 2014 project.
I had to fix up variables from "xxx" to $xxx$ in the script which was fine.
But then when building i get the error message

....
....
Copied file C:\V7 Installer\Application exe Professional\Benchmark.exe
Error during build: List index out of bounds (2)

I can't see anywhere near the Benchmark.exe file in the script where there is a list that could be out of bounds.

Anyone had experience with this issue when converting form InstallShield?

Dear Dandaman,

please check in your script code that all conditional statements are correctly handled (If/End, While/end ... and so on).

You may have inadvertently altered one or more of the conditional statement blocks in your code.

Hope this helps you.

Hi FrancescoT,
It looks like the issue was with the conversion of the file extensions from InstallShield.
I had two entrys for file extensions after I removed them the error did not come up any more.
When I removed them from my script it starting building.

On a side note, it has been building for a while now and the progress bar does not give me adequate feedback on how long it is going to take.
I am starting to think that its gone into an infinite loop. How long should the build process take?

I had to cancel the build as it sat there for over 30 minutes.
After cancelling it still just sat there. I had to end its task.
Any ideas what would cause it to go inifi? Should I just reduce the compression?

Dear Dandaman,

would it be possible for you to send me your project?

If you prefer, you can send the whole IA project folder as compressed archive to; support@installaware.com
