InstallAware 10 project as msi add/remove error

Post by dsobrero »

I have a project that i have converted to a .msi it all installs correctly 100% and works as it would. However when attempting to uninstall using add/remove or windows 7 uninstall a popup looking for the the location of the original setup sources" can not be found and even when i point to the .msi it fails. if i cancle it i get an error runtime error in setup script and i get "orginal setup sources required to complete operation, sources not
found"

This package is 90% x32 however i do have one area that says if it detects it's a x64 copy two files to the wow64 and register them. I'm new to programing and install scripts so i'm sure i'm missing a command or put something in the wrong mode.

What kind of Release did you use?

CD/DVD, Web Media or Uncompressed?

Are there some Web Media Blocks in the Script?

This is commonly caused by your build settings (under the Deployment folder in the Design view).

The "Always Cache Setup Source" option controls this behavior.

Square-filled box - default settings, only Web-based EXE caches sources.
Checked box - all build types cache sources.
Blank box - no build types cache sources.

By ensuring this is checked off or using a web based build, you should no longer experience this behavior.
