Detect MS SQL Instances fails on Vista Home Premium

We are using IA9.
We have had a ongoing issue where our installation fails on Vista Home Premium machines with the following error.
Runtime Error in setup script
Sourcefile: browsesqlserver
Line:46
‘’ is not a valid integer value
Line 46 is where I am using the Detect MS SQL Instances. The same setup could runs fine on other versions of windows. Is there anything that could be causing this only in a Vista Home environment. THe example SQL Server Connection project fails with the same error.
Any help with this is much appreciated.

Bump again. A beta-tester of mine had the same issue - running on an XP machine, however. But, the error corresponded with the Sql Server detection plugin.

Michael - I was bumping because perhaps someone else who hasn't posted has solved the issue. And, I have read in other threads that you had a solution for this issue, and to contact you in Private for it. However, I don't know how to contact you in Private, so I posted here.. Sorry if I cross posted.
So, my question remains.. Is there a solution for this problem? Or, is there a work-around? Or a known specific cause?

No worries.
This was solved in the InstallAware 9 time frame, I believe. So if you are still experiencing the same issue, that is why I was asking for more information. It is possible you are running into a different issue that has the same error output.

Michael - thanks for your response.
The issue happened with my one of my testers. He said he was running the installer on a Windows XP machine. The SQL Server is on a different machine. He received the same error message as described in the original post, and the line number cooresponded with the Sql Server detection plug-in. He ran the installer on a different machine, on the same network, without receiving the error message, and the Sql server instances were detected properly.
I am running InstallAware 9, but have not installed V2 (or R2) yet.
Any ideas?
