InstallAware 17 not installing on Windows 8.1

Postby keithomas2 » Thu Oct 03, 2013 12:30 pm

Hi, I'm trying to debug issues with our product installer causing a bsod on Windows 8.1. Our installer is built using InstallAware 17. To debug my problem I created a debug version of my installer and then tried to install InstallAware 17 on Windows 8.1. Unfortunately the InstallAware 17 install itself just silently fails. I see the verification dialog (see screenshot) for a while but it then just goes away.

As per the attached screen shot I'm using,
- Windows 8.1 Pro Preview, Build 9431

I'm stuck as to my next steps.

Dear keithomas2,

Just tested and IA 17 installs correctly on WIN 8.1. I can only suppose that there is a problem with your OS.

Dear AdalDiaz2,

... as I already said with my previous reply, IA 17 works fine on WIN 8.1.
