The third party Foomatic software is loaded in the Support Files (Language Independent) pane. Whenever the installer is run (WinXP only so far, I have not yet tried Win7) it dies during the execution of this CA with the error: Error 1721.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: blah, blah, blah The CA is configured as follows: Created a CA based on "New EXE > Path referencing a directory".Working Directory:
this to you? Average Rating 0 9669 views 01/22/2006 Software Deployment Package Development Hi folks! I'm creating an .msi that will perform a major upgrade of an application. But I need to do some actions (i.e backup some old files) before the old files are being removed. So I'm using the "execute program from installation" option and have created an .cmd that I have in my .msi (i.e the binary table). The problem is that I keep getting Windows Installer Error 1721 and the return code 3 (which, if I have read the manual correctly means problem with the "location"). I'm https://community.flexerasoftware.com/showthread.php?193137-Error-1721-in-a-Custom-Action getting a bit frustrated since one of the ideas of "execute program from installation" is the benefit of calling a temporary program (it only exists during the installation) without having to know where the program resides. I have another .msi that is performing like a charm but with the difference that the temporary files that are being used are stored in a table called ISSetupFile. That table http://www.itninja.com/question/error-1721-using-execute-program-from-installation doesn't exist in my faulty .msi, but since I'm using another approach on the faulty one I see no reason for having a ISSetupFile table. The program being used for creating the .msi is Wise but we used Installshield Developer a short amount of time for some of our .msi. Thankful for any help. /Daniel 0 Comments [ + ] Show Comments Comments Please log in to comment Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
