I have installscript in Basic MSI Installshield Project which works perfectly when using InstallShield 2015 IDE. But, when using Installshield cmdline on a separate machine, getting this error -
"Error : -7132: An error occurred streaming ISSetup.dll support file
..\Script Files\Setup.inx" .
All the necessary files are in place for building Installshield project.There are other projects which are using same installscript and running absolutely fine using Installshield cmdline on the same machine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Well, the separate machine is a different environment.
Different environment, different file locations.
That kind of compilation error is usually related with link files problems. Like a linked rul not available.
Check the relative links to every .rul in your project, specially if you have custom .rul files.

I have been with VS2012 for a few years now. I developed my first asp.net/angularjs project under VS2012.
Secondly, I recently checked out a VS2013 project (written by a 3rd party) which ran just fine under 2012.
Then it was suggested that I install VS2015 on my laptop. This is when things went wrong.
Problems:
I attempted to load the new VS2013 project in VS2015, but it immediately failed to load.
VS2015 error:
Creation of the virtual directory http://localhost:32999/
failed with the error: Filename: redirection.config
Error: Cannot read configuration file
Now when I go back to VS2012 and load my original asp.net/angular project, I get this error:
So in the end, I can't load any projects at all ! Neither 2012 nor 2015.
My local IIS websites are still running fine, by the way, but not the local dev environments.
How can I fix these virtual directories ?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
As per some guidance from this post - IISExpress 8 Cannot read configuration file redirection.config, here's how I got my VS2015 to load up successfully:
Close VS2015
Go into folder %userprofile%\Documents\IISExpress\config
Rename applicationhost.config
Restart VS and load the solution/project
VS should have recreated applicationhost.config, and project should load
Of course, I now have a different error, which I will post anew:
[BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'MyWebApp.DAL'
or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made
to load a program with an incorrect format.]
I resolved the same problem by starting visual studio with Administrator rights. This post pointed me in the right direction and gives more solutions.
This may be due to checked-in applicationhost file.
Delete the file from the repository. Build the project again. This file will be created automatically. Don't check in this config file again.
This won't work for everyone, but in my case, the file that couldn't be written was actually a temp file in C:\users\\AppData\Local\Temp\iisexpress. We were getting a company wide virus attack and they shut this area down for everyone. They were able to change the policy just for me and that fixed it.
I am working on a windows application and I am using another dll with name diffplex. I have stored it in the bin folder of my solution. in properties I have set it as copy local = false.
When I am running the program from visual studio it is working fine. But when I copy exe from bin to some other location and try to use this application I am getting this error - "could not load assembly or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified"
Please find the screen shot attached. But I want to give my client only exe file not the dll file. What can I do.
Hi Finally the issue has been fixed. A tool MS ILmerge is used which on post build event makes both exe and dll as one file
It has been a while since I've published my app to Azure. During that time frame, I've upgraded my system from 32-bit to 64-bit meaning a fresh install of Windows and Visual Studio. And Visual Studio Update 3 came out and was applied. When I went to publish an update today, I received the following:
The following exception was thrown trying to publish: Root element is missing.
My web.config file looks fine so I don't think it's this issue.
The app works fine in debug mode so I don't think it's any of the .lsml files as is mentioned here.
And I tried this procedure to hand edit the .ls3proj file but it didn't seem to help.
I previously had an issue trying to publish when I upgraded from the standalone LightSwitch 2011 to Visual Studio 2012. I was able to overcome that issue using the method described in this thread.
Attempting to use this same method resulted in my new project has a full screen error saying "There are critical errors in the application definition metadata..." and 210 individual errors (max errors reached).
The first error, "Cannot create unknown type '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/LightSwitch/2010/xaml/model}GlobalAttributeGroup'." Doesn't make sense because that line in the .lsml is identical from the old project to the new project.
The second error, "Could not find any application definition in the project." Which I do not understand at all.
I am able to publish a simple "Hello, world" style app to my Azure account.
What could be causing this? How can I get more information about exactly which element is causing the issue? The log produced by running devenv /log was not helpful.
Matt Thalman was able to solve my problem over in the Microsoft Forums. The ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and ServiceDefinition.csdef were missing from the project when checked out of version control. Copying those over from a new project restored my ability to publish.
I am trying to install hdinsight on my windows 7 64 bit OS using hdinsight-preview.exe. It is a web platform installer from Microsoft. Once I gave the custom feed as MSSingleNodeInstaller.msi. I think i am supposed to give an xml file. After this it is throwing an error "Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1". I tried uninstal and re-install, but no success. Everytime i start it, it throws the same error. Which xml file is it trying to read.
Probably you can reset the exe and give a different XML
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer and launch: WebPlatformInstaller.exe /reset
Your custom feed *XML) is broken as the error is related with XML processing by the webPI application. First check your XML for its integrity and the pass it to installer.
What you can do is launch the offline webpi installer which will download all the xml files and then you can understand the correct XML configuration before passing it.
.\webpicmd /offline /products:HDINSIGHT-PREVIEW /Path:c:\a_writable_folder
You can learn more on running offline installer here.
Am trying to Deploy my visual studio 2012 vc++ application through Install Shield wizard.

Please help me
I've never seen this one before in the wild but it's described at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292582
Basically it sounds like the computer has invalid data in the registry for one of the built in directories that Windows Installer resolves. It's an environmental issue rather then installer logic issue.
I'd have to see the installer log and computer registry to confirm or deny that though.
I had the same problem recently (with Installshield 2015). The problem was, that under Application Data/Files and Folders there was a definition for a folder called .. - so the setup would try to create a folder .. on the target system, which of course doesn't work.
Deleting that folder definition and moving its contained files to the parent folder definition fixed the problem for me.
