Error 2869 is a meaningless error that means "Can't display the error for the real problem". The real error is obscured. In many cases, that error has to do with impersonation, but not always! This solution both fixes the error display bug, and also fixes the Impersonation/Admin priv issue on Vista and Windows 7. The one thing that is missing is the hand-holding (for someone that doesn't want to know anything about javascript, like me) to get this to work. visit http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nikhiln/archive/2007/04/25/post-build-script-to-fix-msi-issues-in-vista-for-vs-2005-setup-and-deployment-project.aspx Grab the script, and save it to your Deployment project folder as PostBuildVistaFix.js Bring up the Deployment Project Properties Changed PostBuildEvent to cscript.exe ..\PostBuildVistaFix.js your_installer.msi share|improve this answer answered Feb 13 '12 at 21:19 Mark Lakata 9,88035369 btw, this script is useful to add to all your VS2005 projects, in case there is ever some other random error that might crop up. –Mark Lakata Feb 13 '12 at 2

I also have error 2869 an installer class in the console application that the setup project will use to do some validation before installation. Those tasks are checking the database connection string and checking some directory locations to make sure they exist prior to installation.
