This did not happen in Windows 7. The crash comes when it is processing an OCX I need for my program. In the 32 bit version the OCX goes into the [SystemFolder]. For the 64 bit installer the OCX goes into the System64Folder and I use InstallShield 2012 Spring. The crash happens at the same place while processing the OCX file. I downloaded the trial version of InstallShield 2015 and the crash occurs with that version as well. I repaired the 2012 Express program but the crash still happened. Now I can't create the setup for my program so I am desperate for a solution. Thanks very much for your help. I found a post with the title "How to register DLLs/Ocx for current User during installation" which got me curious about the OCX that was causing a crash while creating the setup. So, in Destination Files, right click on the OCX, and click on the menu item Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click on the "COM & .NET Settings" tab. At the top top of that tab is a drop down menu labeled "Registration Type" with 3 choices: None, Extract COM Information and Self Registration. I changed the type from Extract COM Information to Self Registration and the problem was fixed. Although it was my fault that Registration Type was incorrectly set, InstallShield should not respond by crashing my PC but should show a message saying that COM information could not be extracted. Anyway, the problem is fixed. ... View more

I inadvertently discovered that when programs are started with Run As Administrator in Windows 10, mapped drives don't show up in Open File dialogs. In Windows 7 they do show up. Assuming it is not a bug, it might have something do with security. Even though I don't use Run As Administrator to start InstallShield, it acts like is by not showing the mapped drives. ... View more
