The Installer does not run. When I launch the installer by double-clicking the setup.exe file, the "Please wait while setup launches" screen barely blips on the screen before I am confronted with my error. The Text is (for search functions): The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2727. I have found a set of MSI Error Codes, and Error Code 2727 translates to The directory entry '[2]' does not exist in the Directory table. Could someone guide me towards fixing this? What should I do? [UPDATE] At the suggestion of Cosmin Pirvu, I have created an error log for my installer. After looking it over, it appears my installation error could be the result of having a link to the Not Installed file msiexec.exe that I use in conjunction with my Project's [ProductCode] to create an Uninstall link. The log file shown below appears to indicate that my installation fails when the installer attempts to create a temporary file for msiexec.exe, then it has another failure when it tries to display the Error Icon. The file >> install.log on Google Sites << is my Error Log file's output (Hint: just do a search for Return value 3 to get to the errors). [UPDATE 2] I have an Uninstall link in the setup project that links back to the batch file uninstall.bat in my main project: @echo off %w

Answered 06/19/2013 by: SnowLyric Please log in to comment dandirk 3 years ago Does it stop the msi? If so you are lucky... add /l*v PATH_TO_LOG.log switch and look at the last few lines while the error is up. Generally speaking it is a directory table error. There http://www.itninja.com/question/i-got-a-internal-error-2727-1127-while-testing-msi-any-suggestions is a reference to a directory that is not in the directory table or in there incorrectly. Did you add any CAs? If so they could be too early in the sequence before the tables have been built etc. hkoirala09 3 years ago No i didnt add any CAs ? talonsprem87 3 years ago Can you please run a validation test over the MSI, you will narrow down to your answer. And yes what dandrik said is also correct, there is some error in Directory_ table Please log in to comment Answer this question or Comment on this question for clarity AnswerSubmit Don't be a Stranger!

How to repeat: Install mysql 4.0 http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Registry-element-causes-error-2727-td692658.html and mysql connector/ODBC 3.51, it says "internal error 2727.

[2 Aug 2004 20:20] Miguel Solorzano What version of Connector/ODBC are you using ? The current release 3.51.9 already fixed that error message reported for earlier releases. [6 Aug 2004 17:46] m watkins I am having the exact same problem. I tried installing 51.9 version of the ODBC connector, and the install seems to go OK. internal error 2727.installdir I am using Windows XP Pro with the latest version of MySQL. When I go back into the installer, I can uninstall, but when I try to modify or repair the installation, I get "Internal Error 2727: INSTALLDIR". I think this is slightly different than bug 3668, because that one would fail on installing an upgrade, this one does not. It fails on modify and repair.
