Ran into the same problem with IS2012 Updating the manifest files seems to messed up the build-in constants or something. Trying using SYSINFO.nOSMajor and SYSINFO.nOSMinor to detect the OS version instead of the ISOSL_WIN7_SERVER2008R2 constant. That's how I resolved my problem.

The problem is gone in Tech Preview 3...I guess this WAS an issue in the OS and Microsoft team fixed it.

Hi, So I'm trying to run my installer on Server 2016 tech preview 2 and I got this 'Error 1628: Failed to complete installation" message. This install works on previous version of Windows Server (2012) so there was no problem with the build. I tried the suggestions on this help page https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/articles/en_US/ERRDOC/Q110740 but didn't get anywhere. I attached a debug log the records the error events. Could someone please provide some suggestions on how to resolve this? Thanks a lot.

Josh, Thanks so much for your reply. So should I be expecting a fix patch for my IS2008? Or what do you suggest I should do for our next software release? If possbile I would still like to keep using this InstallScript MSI project which we have been using for over a year. Is building the installer in custom type my best bet? Or is there a way I can build the installer as a compressed file and still avoid this issue?

Josh, I'm working with INS2008 and I ran into the exact problem you described. I'm just wondering what you meant by this "However, you can avoid this behavior by running some other, unrelated MSI package before installing your product for a second time after the first uninstall." How do I accomplish this in my installer? In another post a user said this problem could be avoided by building the installer in custom type and that has worked for me as well. However, when I make it into a Windows Self-extractor (necessary for my purpose), the same problem appear again. Any idea why? Thanks in advance.

Dan, (it's Dan, right?) First of all, thanks a lot for your reply. I have thought about doing it your way. However, this issue came up because some of our customers expressed the concern about the inconsistency of the "Product Version" (defined in the General Info) and the "File Version" in question. That's why I'm looking for a way to do this. Again, thanks for the reply.

DanGalender, I see. Thanks for the info. But guys, I have a follow up question. I tried to change the file version of my setup.exe file with VS2005 and succeeded...so to speak. The file version was changed but the setup file was corrupted also. Before changing the file version, the file size of the setup.exe was about 4 MB, after changing the file size, it becomes some 300 KB and, of course, it doesn't run anymore. Anyone knows why?

Guys, Here is an interesting one. I'm using IS2008 building an InstallScript MSI project. I'm wondering how do you change the file version of the Setup.exe file built? This file version I'm talking about is the one you see on the Version tab of the Properties dialog of the setup.exe file (right click on the setup.exe file and then select Properties on Windows XP/select Details on VISTA). It is not the same as the application version you entered in General Information, though I think it should be. Anyone has any idea about this one? Thanks for helping.

OK, this is a tricky one. I have an installer that supports English, Chinese (Traditional), French, German and Japanese. I ran the installer on both English XP system and a Traditional Chinese system without any problem. I wanted to try the Japanese language support but I didn't have a Japanese XP System, so I take my CHT system and set the Region and Language to Japan/Japanese from the function under Control Panel. HOWEVER, when I ran the installer, I got a "Error reading set up initialization file" right at the start up of the installer. Then the installation couldn't go on. However, I try the same method on the English XP system and the installer ran without any problem. I saw the Japanese dialog box and everything during installation, and the installation completed successfully. Anyone has any idea about the Error reading set up initialization file problem?

tnand53, The problem now is I don't know when the installer is running an upgrade..I mean, I don't know how to check that in the script. I thought there would be a system variable UPGRADE which evaluates to true or 1 when installer is running an upgrade. But it's not there. Got any good suggestions?

tnand53, Thanks for the reply. What I'm looking for is a way to perform task only during upgrade, like running a installer when the system has already been installed with a previous version. This seem to be considered as in MAINTENANCE mode... Thanks anyway.
