Getting a 2363 error doing a search for a file

Hi, I'm getting the following error in the install log when doing a search for a file that has to exist before the install can continue.
The search is configured to use the [WindowsVolume] property and searches 10 folders deep. The OS is Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition SP1

I get a list of the errors like the following in the log file. The install runs fine on several other machines/Windows OS's.

MSI (c) (34:FC) [15:42:22:872]: Note: 1: 2363 2: C:\Documents and Settings\
MSI (c) (34:FC) [15:42:22:872]: Error while attempting to search in/ below folder: Documents and Settings

Any thoughts / help or do you need additional info?

Thanks

Hi Bruce,

Note that you should check your project file to see if there are any references to C:\Documents and Settings. You should delete any hardcoded reference to this path since it does not exist on Windows Server 2008. If you still not troubleshoot the issue, please send your .aip project file or a stripped down version that accurately reproduces this behavior to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can further investigate the problem.

Regards,
Gabriel

Re: Getting a 2363 error doing a search for a file

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for the reply. The path is not coded in the project.
I have a file search defined for sqlcmd.exe which is on the machine.

Not sure why, but I removed the allowed min and max versions from the search and it seems to work now even though the sqlcmd.exe on that machine fell within the allowed versions?
