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 name will have downloaded the WI SDK which includes a bunch of scripts, one of which deals with MSI streams.

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 http://www.itninja.com/question/while-installing-msi-with-transform-getting-error-2721-custom-action-isservercore-is-not-found-in-binary-table-stream the uninstaller closes. No matter what I 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, https://community.flexerasoftware.com/archive/index.php?t-57086.html 11:41 AMThe technicality behind the error is as follows. When you 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.

action -- file name and "Internal Error 2721" NewsArchive06-22-1999, 12:00 AMWhen I use the new beta version of InstallShield for Windows installer I got the following problem: I create a custom action by the custom http://community.flexerasoftware.com/archive/index.php?t-71307.html action wizard. When I fill the "Source" field by browse to get the binary file(e.g. mydll.dll) it showed as the actual file name(mydll.dll). But at the end it replaced the file name to another http://forum.installsite.net/index.php?showtopic=21016 name as New_Binary1. Another custom action use the same binary file but call different function. As mentioned above the file name got replace to New_Binary2 at the end. During the installation it gave "Internal error 2721 Error 2721". After I found out the actual file name was got replace in the custom action wizard, I changed New_Binary2 to New_Binary1 instead of put the actual file name. Then it got rid of the Internal Error. Is the name replacement necessary? Why replace the same binary with different name and give Internal Error? How to avoid it? Since the file name replacement was done in the background error 2721 installshield without notice and it takes time to figure out the problem. This does not happen when use the old beta version of InstallShield for Windows installer. It keeps the original binary file name. Thanks!

The name of the .dll file is SFHelper.dll, and its entry point is SFStartupEx().The dll can be found at:C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2011\Redist\Language Independent\i386You may try adding the above CA manually.
