Hello InstallAware team and friends,

Was testing some installer and i found yours very attractive.
While i read all your manual about .NET Deployment (this is what i'm interest) and testes with a project i was so disapointed getting a setup.exe error. The message is the following:

Setup.exe - Application Error

The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.

Tried 2-3 times build the project, tried in 2 different machines. What is going wrong there?

Since InstallAware's own setup apparently ran fine on your system, and InstallAware obviously uses itself for installing itself, I suspect it is something you did in your project - you may need to spend some time figuring out what.

Problem solved, corrupted InstallAware setup. Reinstalled and working perfect. Nice software...would be nice if dependecies could be scaned .. :D

There are no dependencies :D Your setup will run out of the box on even Windows 95, with nothing pre-installed!
