Setup ended prematurely because of an error

Hi,

I have a client who is trying to install my software package. They get the error in the title. They've tried running it with different users and also as administrator but the error persists. Looking at the log it looks like it has something to do with the Visual C++ prerequisite that I have.

Any reason they'd be getting this error? Below is the end of the log where the error occurs.

Re: Setup ended prematurely because of an error

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Unfortunately, I can not say for sure why that happens. In order for me to further investigate this, could you please forward me the following:

- a copy of the .AIP file

- a download link for the setup (built with the above .AIP file)

- the full verbose log of the installation process

by e-mail at support at advancedinstaller dot com?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Catalin
