Generic error duing install

[Bjammin]

Have had thousands of good installs with Advanced Installer so I think this is a problem on a particular PC.

Error box says this & bails from install.

"There is a problem with this installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."


I used to have a custom action, but I have removed that many months ago.

As requested I have attached the AIP & Log of the install. (The log had to be zipped to fit).

I think these are the lines that matter, but I'm not sure and either way I do not know how to fix this.

...

Thank you for any assistance.

Also, this was run on Windows 7.

Hi,

Looking over the log file I noticed that the "ActiveZip" custom action is the one that fails and I'm not sure why this happens. Can you reproduce the problem on multiple clean machine or outside the Advanced Installer package (i.e. from Command Prompt)?

Best regards,
