Error Code 2908

Postby SteveDude » Tue May 19, 2015 4:56 pm

A client is getting an Error Code 2908 from an older installer of mine. Do you guys know what throws that error?

...also, I've seen IA installer Error Codes before and been able to figure out what they were, but it would be nice to have a list of them all, maybe in the help file for a quick reference.

Dear Steve,

I suppose you are referring to a Windows Installer Error Code and we don't include a list of them, because these are part of the Microsoft documentation.

For your convenience, you can use the following link.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa372835(v=vs.85).aspx

BTW, code 2908 is returned by the MSI engine when an errors occurs while trying to register a component.

Hope this helps you.
