in the CustomAction table, find the value in the 'Source' column and make sure that it exists in the first column of the 'Binary' table. Answered 11/19/2012 by: captain_planet Please log in to comment swetha539 3 years ago the source value is there in the binary table but not installing giving same error captain_planet 3 years ago Does it install without the transform? What type of CA is it? Have you checked that, even though the entry is present in the Binary table, that the stream isn't corrupt? Try extracting the binary stream and check it looks ok and isn't 0kb or something daft. swetha539 3 years ago last edited 3 years ago No it's not installing without transform. it is giving a error 1920 serviceMCAfeeFrameork is not installed doesn't have privelliges to it that McAfeeFrameork CA is not there in CA table ( I have extracted the binary stream of IsServerCore CA unable read it but it's not any empty 0kb file) Please log in to comment 0 >Try extracting the binary streamAny packager worthy of the na
07:57 PMI'm getting Internal Error 2721 when my Custom Action EXE fires. The Custom Action EXE fires only on Uninstall (it merely cleans up unused folders, since ISX just leaves the empty folders behind). I chose to "Browse File System" for custom action EXE location, instead of installing it in a Temp folder on the target system. The Windows Installer Help lists the following for Internal Error 2721: "Custom action [2] not found in Binary table stream" which is really no help at all. So, the Custom Action EXE fires on Uninstall only, fires Before System Changes, and generates the 2721. I click OK and then the following ISX error message appears: "Fatal error during uninstallation" And then the uninstaller closes. No matter what I http://www.itninja.com/question/while-installing-msi-with-transform-getting-error-2721-custom-action-isservercore-is-not-found-in-binary-table-stream do, the uninstaller chokes when the Custom Action fires. I CANNOT GET THIS TO WORK. I need to be able to uninstall my app so I can upgrade, but I can't uninstall. I've looked at the Help, both ISX and Windows Installer, and nothing points me in the right direction as to how to recover from fatal uninstall errors. Please help! (I'm using 3.53 on Win2k Advanced Server) Thanks, Josh Chandima01-16-2002, 11:41 AMThe technicality behind the error is as follows. When you https://community.flexerasoftware.com/archive/index.php?t-57086.html create a Custom Action and build, your exe is streamed in to the Binary Table of the msi, and the Custom Action table points at the correct entry in the Binary Table. What's happening is 1. The file wasn't streamed in to the binary table 2. Or the file is streamed in, but the Custom Action is not pointing at the right Binary Table entry I am leaning towards the first. Few questions and things for you to try out. 1. When you build, do you get an error saying something like "Unable to stream into Binary table"? If so, that means the Exe you are poiting to is probably not in the same location anymore. 2. Try setting the "Ignore Exit Code" to "Yes". Some Exe's (like Explorer.exe on Win2K) return codes that correspond to Windows Installer Return codes that gives bogus errors. 3. Try replacing your exe with Notepad.exe and see if it launches. 4. Try deleting the Custom Action. Save and close the project. Reopen and add the Custom Action again. Do NOT change the position once it's added. 5. What is the name of you exe file? Try adding the Custom Action to after "Setup Complete Dialog". This way you can gaurantee that your exe is not interfering with the WindowsInstaller operations. LOGITRAM06-06-2002, 07:14 AMHello, I have the same problem ! "Try setting the "Ignore Exit Code" to "Yes". " don't run... Since, have you got new information ? Chandima

Error 2721 occurs if the installation is unable to find the file being launched by the custom action in the Binary table or within the project. and many several factors within the project can lead to this error. Is the error reproducible with any target OS or it can be verified with a specific target only? Do you call any EXE or DLL with the package?Regards Francesco ToscanoInstallAware Software SupportWhite Papers (HowTos) - http://www.installaware.com/publication ... papers.htmPublications - http://www.installaware.com/publications-review.htmInstallAware Help -F1 anywhere in the InstallAware IDE Top AlexB Posts: 30 Joined: Tue Feb 19, 2008 8:03 pm Location: Sydney Re: Error 2721: Custom action ACTAWE not found in Binary ta Quote Postby AlexB » Wed May 22, 2013 5:47 am Hi Francesco,Thank you for your reply. Yes, I had few calls of Run program (all after Apply Install command). I commented them out and problem was still there.However, after I restarted the build server (which is virtual Windows Server 2012) and re-made the build. Installer worked just fine.I use InstallAware 15. Now I have to re-boot that build server every time prior to making a build. Otherwise IA setup will fail with
