Reg-free COM Wizard
I am trying to use the Reg-free COM wizard and after going through the wizard and click Finish it errors / fails with...
InstallShield 2008 - Professional Edition needs to close..... cannot recover....
Crash Details....
Exception ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)
File: isdev.exe
Version : 14.0.0.162
..... Lots of other numbers.
I get when running the wizard on both a Windows 2000 and XP machine. I have tried different self-registering files with the same result on both machines. And cannot find anybody else with this issue on the boards at all.
Thanks

What DLL are you trying to extract COM data from?

It is just an in-house custom dll.

I created a new project and just added the exe and dll and ran the wizard and it worked no problem. I can try to remove stuff little by little from the current install to see what the problem is, but is there anything to try to make the narrowing a little easier?

Here seems to be my problem but not sure why.
For each component (one exe and the dll), I have them installing to a directory defined in the MSI Directory table. It is called INSTANCE_PATH and set in a CA by the InstanceId. (I am using the Instance Transforms functionality). When I run the wizard, it shows the normal directories where files can possibly be installed like [AppDataFolder], [ProgramFilesFolder], [SystemFolder], and it shows my custom directory INSTANCE_PATH. So I pick INSTANCE_PATH and continue and it blows up. If I switch the components to INSTALLDIR, the run the wizard it works fine. I could switch back the directories after I build, but I don't want to have to do that for each build and have somebody remember to do that. Any ideas?

Can you send me your project file? It sounds like there is a case we are not handling very well. I do not need any files, just the .ism.
