Cary -- Thanks for the help However, we never encountered this issue with that specific .dll in IS2008. The only thing we did is migrating the Basic MSI Project from IS2008 to IS2010 and now we see this error. A standard dll custom action (c:\windows\system32\user32.dll) is used at installFinalize. This is causing the actual problem.

Hi, I have migrated a Basic MSI Project from IS2008 to IS2010 with vbscript custom actions in it. The upgrade was successful with out any errors. When I run setup.exe, the installation is working fine -- However, it displays a message saying "MsiExec.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience." I have encountered this issue on Windows XP Machine. In EventVwr, the error message displayed is "Faulting application msiexec.exe, version 3.1.4001.5512, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5512, fault address 0x0000e450."

I have used a CA New EXE with [SystemFolder]odbcad32.exe for both 32bit and 64bit which should have invoked the correct odbcad32.exe ( i.e system32\odbcad32.exe) However i cannot use InstallScript custom action. Earlier I tried using a vbscript, but unless I close odbcad32.exe, the finish dialog will not disappear. I tried it with various In-script execution modes. Also synchronous and asynchronous. For 64bit package, I have the template summary as AMD64.

Hi, I am trying to invoke odbcad32.exe at the end of the installation using New EXe -> Path referencing directory. Based on 32bit or 64bit package it should invoke the c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe or c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe Though I execute 64bit package, c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe is invoked. So, I went ahead and created [system64folder]odbcad32.exe for 64bit. However, this doesn't work. Can someone help me with this.

Hi All, Can someone help me with the equivalent of the below statement for Basic MSI Package. Even if there is a equivalent of the same in vbscript would also be very much appreciated. FeatureSetData ( MEDIA , "FeatureOne" , FEATURE_FIELD_VISIBLE , FALSE , "" ); I have three features. FeatureOne, FeatureTwo & FeatureThree. Based on the existing visual studio 2003 or 2005 or 2008 I would like to set only one feature as visible. Please help me to solve this.

Thanks for your reply. My batch file does a little bit extra than the examples which i showed. I have to unzip the zip files with a jar command cd zippath jar xf zipfile1.zip jar xf zipfile2.zip java -umf manifestfile xx.jar copy these files to installpath So for this purpose i am running a batch file. but other than my machine Windows XP , on all other machines they just run the commands so fast without completing the previous command.

Hi All, I need some help on running a batch file. I am executing a batch file with LaunchAppAndWait . All the commands in the batch file gets executed properly, however on test machines it just runs all the commands not even waiting for the previous command to be finished. For example Copy aa\*.* bb\ rmdir /s /q aa In the above commands first copy needs to be completed and then rmdir needs to be invoked. However the prompt is not waiting for the previous command to be executed properly on test machines. Also I am providing WAIT option also. Please help me..

You can use automation scripts to fetch or change the property value and then build the package.
