Upgrade failed on Win10

Hi all,

I installed my product on Windows 10 by using the installer I created with InstallShield 2015 and it works great.
When Im trying to perform a major upgrade (silent installation) it failed and msi logs shows the following:

Action start 0:43:01: InstallValidate.
MSI (s) (18:B8) [00:43:01:376]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: _RemoveFilePath

=== Verbose logging stopped: 3/14/2016 0:43:38 ===


As much as I understand from these logs the main reason is this line:
MSI (c) (D8:40) [00:43:38:619]: MainEngineThread is returning 1601

When Im looking in the Event Viewer I see there is an error:
"The Windows Installer service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service. "

I checked the services running on the machine and indeed the Windows Modules Installer service of windows was STOPPED.

btw: on Win 7/8 it works great.


Any help will be appreciated!

Does any other MSI-Setup work on this System?

1601 seems to be Windows installer not accessible which normaly is a Problem of the Windows-Installer engine, see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/error-1601-windows-installer-is-not-accessible/08dce679-496d-43f4-a4b5-bb467800bb90?auth=1

Yea, Other MSI-setup are working and also my MSI-setup is working.. its just not work during upgrade (upgrade to newer version of our product),
As I mention before, in win7/8.1 its working perfect.
I also tried it on clean Windows 10 installation and it failed.
