I error 2732 added an external merge module. There were some directory merge errors during compilation. I removed the directories causing the error from the directory table of the merge module. I am getting the error: MSI error 2732 error :Directory Manager not initialized. Please help in solving the issue. installer windows-installer share|improve this question edited Oct 16 '12 at 9:52 cspolton 3,34231833 asked Sep 26 '08 at 11:04 Praveen add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest directory manager not votes up vote 4 down vote The Windows Installer Error Messages documentation for error 2732 says: "The directory manager is responsible for determining the target and source paths. It is initialized during the costing actions (CostInitialize action, FileCost action, and CostFinalize action). A standard action or custom action made a call to a function requiring the directory manager before the initialization of the directory manager. This action should be sequenced after the costing actions." share|improve this answer answered Sep 26 '08 at 16:37 Mike Dimmick 7,89411537 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote One possibility is that you may not have put a backslash (\) after a directory path in the set directory action or the custom action should be CostInitialize share|improve this answer answered Sep 26 '08 at 11:15 Codeslayer 2,10832738 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote As Mike Dimmick said, get the sequence number of CostIntialize from the "InstallUISequence" table. Now go to the InstallExecuteSequence table and find your custom action and update the sequence value to the CostIntialize value. It worked fine for me. You have to check for your case. share|improve this answer edited Feb 13 '13 at 15:20 Michael Warner 124112 answered Aug 26 '10 at 9:20 Mohit 601729 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign
project. One of the features is to automatically show a checkbox in the final dialog of the installation to view the MSI logs, if MSI logging is enabled. This feature works if Windows Installer 4.0+ is installed in the target machine. Now, if the installer fails during the LauchCondition action, the "Show the Windows Installer log" checkbox is checked and the wizard is closed, the following error is seen. Searching at the InstallShield forums did not end up at a solution. So, I started digging deeper to figure out a solution myself. First, I found that the custom action that gets called on the "Finish" button click was ShowMsiLog This action was not seen in Installation Designer | Behavior and Logic | Custom Actions and Sequences. So, I went to the Direct Editor and checked CustomAction table. Voila - There it was. Now what does Type 226 mean? A quick look at MSDN gave some information about the Type field. 226 in binary is 11100010. The 6 least significant bits tells us the type of the custom action. 100010 in decimal is 34 - which means the custom action is "EXE file having a path referencing a directory". And the Source column is a key to the Directory table. Sounds like the error is happening due to invoking a custom action that requires the Directory table to be completely constructed before it is actually done. One solution that I could think of at that time was to change the custom action type to "EXE file having a path specified by a property value" (Type: 50), update the relevant entries and check if it works. 50 in binary is 110010. I did not want the execution scheduling and other options to be changed. So I got the binary value 11110010, which in decimal is 242. Type column was updated to 242. Source column was set to NOTEPADPATH. I created a "Set Property" custom action, scheduled it before LaunchCondtion. I set NOTEPADPATH to [SystemFolder]\notepad.exe. Target column refers to the command line argument that gets passed to the executable in Source column. It was set to [MsiLogFileLocation]. Recompiled the project and tested
