Debug Fatal error?

Post by QooScho »

Hello
I am creating a new web based setup (changed an existing project).
Compiling is fine but when I run the setup I get an Fatal error.
Nothing will be installed.
I tired to log the setup wiht /L=C:\temp\mylog.log
But I cannot read the logfile to say what is wrong with my MSI code.
I tried also with the Debug mode but also I cannot see a reason for the error.

Can somebody helkp me?
thanks a lot
best regards
Hans

Dear Hans,

I suppose to have already replied to an identical question you sent me by email.

Anyway due the 1603 Windows Installer Error reported by the log you sent me, you should verify as first, if any of the components handled by your package are not IN-USE.

For Example; your package may fail because tries to replace/update; a database, a service or a system DLL which is in use at setup Runtime.

At this purpose you may try to selectively "comment-out" part of your install script, until you localize the exact offending command.

Hope this helps you.
