Crystal Runtime 2.0 problem

I'm having an issue with the Crystal Runtime that is included in included with IA 6. I have a setup that was done on a fresh install of the software on a clean system, and all I've done is add the crystal runtime to the setup. When I run it, it tells me that I don't have Crystal installed and attempts to run throught the installation. However, when it hits the Install MSI Package step in the setupcrystal script, it errors with "The system cannot find the path specified".

I just upgraded from 5.3 to 6 and didn't have this problem before.

Remove and add the reference again on the Application Runtimes tab, so it will update the info correctly and use the correct include script on v6.

Actually, I was able to reproduce this issue in a brand new install package and just to make sure that it wasn't a problem with my upgrade, I installed IA6 onto a virtual machine and created a new setup project to test with.

I created a new Default project. Then I checked the Crystal runtime. Finally, I built an uncompressed setup, and created an ISO image out of it.

To test this setup, I used VMware with Windows XP Service Pack 2 on it. InstallAware installed .NET 2.0 first, and then Crystal. No errors occured.

OK, Previous attempts to run this were all under Debug Mode. I tried to run the setup again outside of debug and it worked.

On both my VM (using VMWare and XP SP2 also) and normal development system, in debug mode (i.e. running it from the IDE) this failed.

Debug builds will run ONLY inside the IDE.
