I tried this URL and it just displayed a blank page. Do you have another URL?

Thanks for your reply.

I looked at this article. I have nothing checked in 'Redistributables'. I searched for the DLL referenced and it was not on my PC.

I have fixed this by uninstall/install of InstallShield, but now get the -6002 error on every build.

Any other ideas?
Thank you

Here is another thing that I noticed.

I have the Release set for a Single Image (exe) file. When I get an error -6002, if I open the Release Folder, there are 3 files:

Myprogram.exe
Myprogram.msi
setup.ini

Rather than the single exe file I would expect.

I tried installing from the msi file, and it seems to install normally. I will use this as a work-around for now.

Thanks
Tom

>build the project to build single msi setup.

Hello Chiranjeevi,

Thank you for your reply.

All those settings are already set as you mentioned.

Any other ideas to try?

Thanks
