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.
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?
