Vista install ends prematurely

Tue Aug 21, 2007 6:56 pm

My AI 5.1 and now 5.2 compilation will install on an XP machine but when I try to install it on a Vista machine I get "...Setup Wizard ended prematurely."

The only thing that I see in AI that is Vista specific is Bootstrapper - Security - Execution Level which I have as Invoker.

What else should I look for that would explain why my app cannot install on a Vista system. When I compile using InstallShield 4.0 I have no problems.

Hi,

Most probably you have a custom action that fails on install. To obtain more information on the problem please generate a log while installing the package and send it to support at advancedinstaller dot com. To generate the log file run the package with following command line:

msiexec /i package.msi /l*v package.log

Also please send the AIP file (if doesn't contain any confidential informations).

Regards,
Gigi
