Suite / Advanced UI setups crash on Windows XP SP3 -- Is there a fix for this?
I am running two installs created out of the same Suite / Advanced UI project and a separate install created from a different Suite / Advanced UI project. All three are crashing on Windows XP SP3 with the same issue.
They are displaying the error shown below.
Caption: Setup.exe - Entry Point Not Found
Message: The procedure entry point InitializeCriticalSectionEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
Is this a known issue? Is there a Hot Fix for this?
The URL below talks about this issue. I don't know if it is related to the version of Visual Studio that is used to create InstallShield, but I suppose it could be.
I thought I would flesh this issue out a little more. The error message always occurs when I run these installs on Windows XP.
However, the crash only occurs if I use Extension Condition DLLs. If I remove the DLLs, the crash doesn't occur, but I still get the error message displayed in the first post.
The Extension Condition DLL crash is shown in the attached file.
InstallShield 2014 didn't have any problem with these DLLs on Windows XP. It also didn't display the error message.
Our application is not supported on Windows XP, but it would be nice to gracefully tell our users that it isn't supported.
