When I go to install a web setup/deployment project either through the
vs2003 IDE or using the msi file on my machine or any machine, I get
the following error immediately before clicking any buttons:
The installer was interrupted before [project] could be installed. You
need to restart the installer to try again.
Please note the following:
I *can* run deployment projects for windows forms in VS2003 and I *can*
run deployment projects for windows forms and web apps in VS2005
This problem occurrs regardless of the machine I try to deploy to.
I have reinstalled vs2003 (did not help)
This is a recent problem - I have had VS2005 and VS2003 on the same
machine for months with no trouble.
I did recently install Web Deployment Projects for VS2005. I thought
that might be the problem so I uninstalled that and reinstalled VS2003.
Again no help.
Here is the error from the msi log file:
DEBUG: Error 2769: Custom Action WEBCA_EvaluateURLsNoFail did not close
1 MSIHANDLEs.
I have read a few posts regarding the above error and they all talk
about the Virtual Directory being the problem. Well this particular
web setup project used to work and I have never changed the virtual
directory.
The version of msi.dll is 3.1.4000.2435
