Hello,
we are using Advanced Installer 12.5 for our product. we have an issue with one of our customers where installation sometimes fails with an error:
"Source file not found: C:\Windows\TEMP\abc\install\9B1C6AF\x86\abc.dll. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it."
Attached is the relevant snippet from the installation log (error.txt attachment).
This dll is the first dll installed by the installer - so it fails right at the beginning of the installation. however, sometimes the installation is successful also for this customer.
I ran process monitor and compared installation successful scenario to failed scenario. when the installation fails I can see that first msiexec.exe searches for abc.dll and doesn't find it, then ABCInstaller.exe (our installer exe) writes this dll into the temp folder. When the installation is successful I can see that the order is reversed - first ABCInstaller.exe writes this dll into the temp folder and only then msiexec.exe searches for this dll and finds it successfully.
Are you familiar with such issue and root cause of this behavior?
Thank you
