Windows Installer Error 2855

[#1]

Summary

Internal Error 2855. [DIALOGNAME] [BUTTONGROUP]

Symptoms

This error is only encountered at run time and is displayed in the following format:

Internal Error 2855. [DIALOGNAME] [BUTTONGROUP]

[BUTTONGROUP] resolves to the name of the radio button group control. [DIALOGNAME] resolves to the name of the dialog containing the radio button group control.

Cause

A radio button group on a dialog has fewer than two radio buttons associated with it. All radio button groups must have at least two radio buttons associated with the control.

Resolution

To resolve this issue:

1. Open the Dialogs view.
2. Find the dialog displayed in the error message.
3. Expand the dialog and click the default language (i.e., English) dialog layout section.

   Note: The default language can be determined by selecting the General Information view within the InstallShield IDE and noting which language under the String Tables heading contains a red check mark in its icon.

4. Within the dialog layout, select the radio button group control displayed in the error message from the drop-down box on the dialogs property grid.
5. The radio button group on the dialog should now be outlined in the dialog layout.
6. At this point, there are two choices. Which option is chosen depends on whether the radio button control is needed or not.
   1. Delete the radio button control from the dialog. This also deletes the associated radio button.
   2. Add an additional radio button to the radio button group control.
