Need information on Error 5081
I looked and the only posts that refer to this Error -5018 are a few years old. I wondered if anyone has had this error with InstallShield 2009?
This error is occuring in InstallShield 2009 SP2, running in an Administrator account. Here is the pertinant portion of the log file. I am not including the first part of the log where the two warnings occur. They have to do with prerequisites and do not pertain to this particular problem.
Here is part of the Build log:
Dialog SetupResume for language English (United States) built
Dialog SetupType for language English (United States) built
Dialog SplashBitmap for language English (United States) built
Resolving strings...
Language English (United States) built
ISDEV : error -5081: Could not write to setup.ini
Files built
Media table successfully built
Setup.exe created
Automatic update notification disabled
PROJECT_ASSISTANT\CDROM_IMAGE - 1 error(s), 2 warning(s)
Any ideas on what is causing this?

There's nothing obvious in the code which suggests to me why this happens. Are you using any unusual source control or antivirus solutions which might render the building setup.exe read only? You could also try to watch this in Process Monitor to see if there are any indications why the write to the setup.ini file fails.
