InstallAware

There is an error occurring on my system that was not occurring in previous attempts. I had not changed anything in the install project. The only thing I did was rebuilt the install after rebuilding my application. The error is:

Key not valid for use in specified state.

When I turn on logging, I get a different error:

Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.

I have attached the log file.

What is causing this?

Dear Jab,

for what I see by your log, your package fails with returning the error code 1603.

This generally indicates that your package is trying to update a file or component, which it seems to be in use by another process.

Hope this helps you.

The error of "key not valid for use in specified state" is not one I have seen ever. And I am unable to get a log of that error because when I turn logging on, the error changes.

The reading I have been doing seems to indicate that this type of error is related to cryptography or something. I haven't made any changes to the project file, so I am not sure why this is popping up all of a sudden.

Please help, because I can't install our product on my system.

Dear JAB,

unfortunately, it's quite difficult to try to assist you by the the only information you shared.

I have solved the problem. It is caused by an update from Microsoft.

The Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2918614) causes the installation of our product to result in the "Key not valid for use in specified state" error. Uninstalling this update fixes the problem.

JAB

Happy you solved.
