The exact error code they get is "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2356". This is a Windows error, and means "Could not locate cabinet in stream". My software was built using Advanced Installer, and installs fine on other machines. I am trying to find all possible causes for this, before I go back to the client. So far, I have found posts where this is caused by 32/64 bit merge module problems Corrupted install file Are there any other causes that you guys know of? It might be worth noting that my client's machine language is (probably) Finnish, whilst the machine I build on is English. windows-installer advanced-installer share|improve this question asked Jun 21 '11 at 9:21 Craig Blaszczyk 7031513 Are you using a mixed 32/64-bit package? If so, does this happen when using a 32-bit package instead of a mixed one? Also, can you reproduce this on other machines? –mrnx Jun 21 '11 at 10:49 That was one of the first things I checked, but not the problem. I have only a 32bit package. –Craig Blaszczyk Jun 21 '11 at 16:00 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted Thanks for your quick response Mihai, but I have now found the cause of the error.

Data1.cab Hi,I get this error while installing iTunes (ver 7). No matter what I do the error keeps popping up. I emailed SmartRegistry to ask them if it is a registry problem and they said their tool won't fix it (nice of them to say so).I do have McAfee and read somewhere http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6423016/windows-error-2356 that this app may be interfering somehow but I am not sure so I hesitate to uninstall.Any suggestions?Mark Windows XP Windows XP Posted on Dec 8, 2006 4:23 PM I have this question too Close Q: Internal Error 2356.

I reviewed a few of these items... I did delete the temp directory and references to Apple and tried again.I do have the latest Windows installer (3.1 - KB893803).What I did find out is that my ASPI driver config is messed up and I do not know if this plays a role.

workstation 进行技术方面的学习，非常依赖此软件，在解答标题问题前，先欢呼一下vmware！ internal error 我使用的操作系统是windows xp sp3，曾安装过一个vmware server版，后来觉得没有多大用处，就使用360的卸载功能卸载掉了，打算重新安装会vmware workstation版，在网上搜索到vmware workstation 7.1.4是不错，当然也是最新的版本了。于是经过漫长的下载，终于下载到了571M的vmware.快乐的点自己此程序，自信的等待此软件熟悉的安装界面，但是等来的却是一个空白的安装对话框，没有下一步。反复执行安装（有点急躁了和无奈了），有时会出现一个uninstall的对话框，告知我需要首先卸载掉旧的程序（应该就是指的我刚卸载的vmware没有卸载干净），然后会提示：The MSI failed internal error 2356 internal error 2356 data1.cab。于是查找注册表，删除一些网上搜到的一些删除键值，无效！删除C盘中的vmware残留目录，无效！使用低版本的vmware workstation 6/5等版本依然是类似的报错说首先需要卸载旧版程序。我郁闷了，看来只有重新安装操作系统了，但是偶然向导为什么不搜搜vmware的FAQ(常见问题）呢，好多著名的软件、系统都有FAQ的。果然在vmware的FAQ上查到了解决办法，如下： Error message: "The MSI fails" this only applies to new installations of Workstation 7 or VMplayer 3 - not updates run setup like this VMware-*-203739.exe /z "action"="install" 于是打开cmd，找到vmware程序，在后面加入上述参数，oK，可以进行安装了。 上面的一段话大家注意了，"no updates"就是指如果使用上述方法执行vmware的安装，在以后的使用中就不会有vmware得更新了。 对于遇到vmware安装的其他问题的朋友可以继续参考vmware的FAQ页面，地址如下： http://sanbarrow.com/workstation-
