Error: "the wizard was interrupted before could be completely installed"

Hi,

My goal is to write an msi installer that will install Apache, MySQL, and PHP, and copy some website files to the Apache Document Root.

I've set up Apache as a chained .MSI in my project.

When I run the installer, I get this error:
"The wizard was interrupted before [myinstaller] could be completely installed."

I've attached the install log file. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Apache's msi is reporting a 1639 (invalid command line). It's unclear what's wrong with it right there, but looking back to ISChainPackagePrepare, it looks like a property value was specified without an associated PROPERTYNAME= in front of it. Try putting THERIGHTPROPERTYNAME="[TheCurrentProperty]" in the properties field instead of [TheCurrentProperty].

That said, I might recommend using a prerequisite if you don't require starting from a raw .msi file. It seems like it would be a better semantic fit.
