I am getting the following error when I try to display a message box from a deferred-mode execution custom action written in C++: Code: Action 13:03:05: ***customactionname***.

Here's the dialog box call: Code: UINT MsiMessageBox(MSIHANDLE hInstall, char * szString, DWORD dwDlgFlags) { PMSIHANDLE newHandle; UINT nResult; newHandle = ::MsiCreateRecord(2); nResult = MsiRecordSetString(newHandle, 0, szString); if (nResult != ERROR_SUCCESS) return nResult; return MsiProcessMessage(hInstall, (INSTALLMESSAGE) (INSTALLMESSAGE_USER || dwDlgFlags), newHandle); } Why am I getting this error, even though after the error appears, my dialog successfully appears? What conditions trigger error 2869?

The SetupDialog error appears when szString points to a zero-length string, ie "" or szString[0] == '\0'. As long as the string contains text, the message box appears as expected. Whenever the string is zero-length, Windows Installer will popup this completely wrong and misleading error message. Note: In my case the SetupError dialog had not been modified since InstallShield created it. (Created in 10.5, upgraded to 1

I'm working for that and everything going fineexcept one trouble.I want to show an error dialog when the serial is invalid, just like error 2869 the "CancelSetup"dialog at least its looking except for the lack of "No" button.Is there any standard way to show such dialog ? Does IS prepare something general error dialog ?The situation is:1. I don't want to use custom action for the dialog. The custom action goes on different process from installation (for my understanding), so "real" modal dialog can not be achieved.2. I added customized dialog by "Dialog wizard", arranged the controls on it, and called it (by SpawnDialog) from something event. It works fine, except one thing, the "relief" of "InstallShield" logo on the dialog won't be removed.Is there another way to show error dialog, or removing that stuff ?Any advice or suggestion will be helpful.Thank you.

Following Follow iSeries Navigator      I was just issued a new pc desktop with Windows 7 as OS and im having a problem using i-Series Navigator. The iseries access version i have is version 5 release 3 Modification level 0 Service Level SI30707.I'm prompted with the message "Unable to complete the connection to central system 192.xxx.xxx.xxx". This is when i use Management Central and connect to the central system. I get my statistics here and im having a problem now extracting the info i want. i try to isolate the problem which i initially thought was related to network but upon checking the connectivity, i found no problem. I also thought about firewall but according to our security info administrator, it's not interrupting my connectivity to the AS400. So, im thinking that the cause maybe Windows 7. Before this new pc desktop, the previous one i have was installed with a Windows XP and i don't encounter this problem. Your assistance please.
