VS2017 AIP Extension Error

Tue Sep 07, 2021 1:29 pm

Hello,
I'm trying to create an AdvancedInstaller project on my solution, using VS2017 and AI 14.3.
On my first try I was able to add the project and add project outpts as well.
At my second try, when I try to add a new AI project an error appears and I can do nothing more:
Image

ERROR:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {F6D69C22-C70F-416D-80E6-DBA6A90B56C7} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Can someone help me here please, thank you in advance,
Best regards

Liviu

Hi,

Can you please try to update to the latest version of Advanced Installer and see if the behavior persists? We had a similar problem which was discussed on Visual Studio 2017 Build Issue thread and it was fixed in the 15.3 version of Advanced Installer.

You can download older versions of Visual Studio extensions from Advanced Installer Extension for Visual Studio page. For older versions of Advanced Installer you can check the Customer Information page.

Best regards,
Liviu
