msi error questions

[hnichole]

I got an error :
(unknown): Info 2835. The control ErrorIcon was not found on dialog SetupError.
(Unknown): Error 1001.

The dialog looked fine in the preview and I didn't specify any special icon for it. There were a number of fields for data, which I take the system fills in. My questions on this are: how do I fix it and how do I interpret the Info and Error codes into something usable?

There was also an info that said
Info 2769. Custom Action .install did not close 1 MSIHANDLEs.
Action Ended : InstallExecute. Return value 3

question: did or would InstallShield or MS Installer kill an install because somebody did not close a handle? And how do I trace that guid looking thing back to a function call?

Thanks

That GUID is probably created at build time as part of an Installer Class custom action. If you have multiple and need to identify which one, you can open the built MSI in InstallShield (or your other favorite MSI Database editor), and walk the references in the CustomAction table to the component for which this action executes.
