building setup tries to write to sql and fails?

If I run advanced installer 6.6 on Vista as a non-admin (UAC enabled), then towards the end of the building of my setup package, it tries unsuccessfully to do something with SQL (my setup script doesn't use SQL - it's advanced installer)
(yes, I do have MS SQL 2005 on my machine)

I see the following message box:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools
0:Watson 1:1304 2:StreamSupportFiles
3: streamBinaryToDisk 4:5
5:e\sql9_sp2_t\sql\setup\darwin\sqlcastub\streamca.cpp
6:238 7:sqlcastub.dll 8:sqlrun.msi
<OK button>
when I click OK, I get another message box with same title that says:
Error writing to file: Access is denied.
Verify that you ahve access to that directory.

It doesn't happen on every invocation (maybe just the first time I build on each launch of the program?)
So I'm not entirely sure if running the program once as Admin and doing a build is fixing anything.

Why is it trying to do something with SQL when I build my setup project?
And more imporantly, how do I get it to stop.

thanks,
JT

Re: building setup tries to write to sql and fails?

a little more info:
the first "message box" is actually: Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools
and the Build Project window says "Writing Summary Information" and "Closing stream" (100% bar on the latter) in the Progress window

Hi,

I'm not sure why you are encountering this behavior. Can you please send us the AIP (project) file with the problem to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it?
