"Entry Point Not Found" when installing on Vista SP1 (built with 12.7)

If I build my installer with Advanced Installer 12.7 and try to run it on XP SP2 or Vista SP1, I get the following error:

"The procedure entry point SetSearchPathMode could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

If I rebuild my installer using Advanced Installer 12.6.1, then my installer works fine on XP SP2 or Vista SP1.

If I install on XP SP3, Vista SP2, 7, 8, or 10, then the installer works fine with both versions of Advanced Installer.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hello Brandon,

Indeed, this seems to be an Advanced Installer issue which manifests in our latest version, 12.7. A fix will be available as soon as possible. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will update this just after the fix is out.

Unfortunately currently I'm not aware of any available workaround other than downgrading AI to 12.6.1 version.

All the best,
Daniel

For the time being that works for me. The main thing I was getting out of the 12.7 update was the .NET 4.6.1 prerequisite, so I can add that manually to my project for now.

Dan,

Thanks for the fast turn-around! I tested 12.7.1 and it seemed to work fine for me.

However, I noticed that if I try to install my application on XP SP2, I get the following error:

"This application cannot be installed on systems older than Windows XP SP3 32-bit or XP SP2 64-bit."

Has support for installing on XP SP2 been dropped? It's not a big deal for our application, but I was curious.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

The MSI or EXE install files that Advanced Installer produces run on the following operating systems:
  • Windows XP SP3 or newer
  • Windows Server 2003 SP2 or newe
For details, please check the Advanced Installer Requirements.
