Does anyone know of a solution to this? Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

I'm not so sure if this is the case, but this may happen due to a Windows Installer prerequisite included into your setup project in "Prerequisites" page.

Can you send us your AIP (project file) by email to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate its settings?

All the best,
Daniel

This does appear to be something to do with the "windows installer for windows XP" prerequisite. If I remove it everything is fine. This is not something I can do unfortunately, is there anyway i can fix this?

Hello,

This could happen indeed if you have added into your setup project our Windows Installer 3.1 (or lower version) predefined prerequisite. Unfortunately we do not maintain and support anymore this version of Windows Installer prerequisite.

As a workaround you can proceed like this:

1. open your setup project in Advanced Installer and go to "Prerequisites" page
2. delete the "Windows Installer 3.1" (or older version) prerequisite and add the "Windows Installer 4.5" prerequisite from our predefined list; save the project
3. close and reopen Advanced Installer; load your setup project and rebuild it

Let us know if this helped.

All the best,
Daniel
