Access violation when running installer 2nd time

Hello!

We have a multilanguage installer package with language selection dialog in bootstrapper, built on version 6.7.

If the package is installed with non-default language (if user changes suggested language) and then the setup is run for the 2nd time (for maintenance - repair or remove) it crashes immediately, before showing language selection dialog.
If the package is installed with default language, everything is fine. Also it was fine in version 6.6.

Please help.

Re: Access violation when running installer 2nd time

Hi,

We are unable to reproduce this behavior on our test machines. Can you please send us the AIP (project) file with the problem to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it? Also, on what Windows version does the problem occur?

Re: Access violation when running installer 2nd time

This is English Windows XP SP3 where location is set to Russia. Default language suggested by the installer is Russian.

I've created and sent you the test project.
- created empty project and added dummy component
- added Russian language (Translations page)
- selected only multilingual setup (Translations page)
- checked 'Create Exe file' and 'Show language selection dialog' (Media page)

During first installation when prompted for the setup language I change default Russian to English.
Second installtion crashes on start.

Best regards,
Mikhail

Hi Mikhail,

After further investigating the problem we found that it is caused by a bug in Advanced Installer. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
A bugfix will be included in the next version which is scheduled for release in the near future.
