Chained msi not installing

[Arthur]

Hi, I'm trying to create a chained package, but having some difficulty. I created a test package exe and two msi installers to be used as chains, called One.msi and Two.msi. This worked fine. I tried adding the msi 'One.msi' to another package exe (modular_test_4.1.1202), with the same settings, but it doesn't install. It doesn't open the UI for 'One.msi', which did happen in my test package. The system is the same, Windows Installer 4.5 is installed. I looked at the logfile created by my installer and found the following:

MSI (s) (84:B0) [12:07:30:269]: Doing action: AI_PrepareChainers
Action 12:07:30: AI_PrepareChainers.
Action start 12:07:30: AI_PrepareChainers.

AI_RollbackChainers:
Action ended 12:07:30: AI_RollbackChainers. Return value 1.
Action ended 12:07:30: AI_PrepareChainers. Return value 1.

Can you tell me what is happening here please?

Hi Arthur,

I am not sure why this is happening. Can you please send us the project file(failing .AIP), the complete verbose log of the installation and the .MSI you are trying to chain to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

All the best,
Mihai

Hi Arthur,

It seems you have "Force Reboot after install" option selected in the Install Parameters page. Unfortunately this option is not compatible with the chained installation. This is the reason you are getting this.
You can try to choose another option and the chained package should work just fine.

All the best,
Mihai

Hi Mihai, that worked, thanks. Arthur
