User downloads and installs three of my applications - they are all sibling tools based on the same script but of course with unique AppID, AppMutex and install paths.
This is the first report in many years resembling anything like this, but still, I take all reports seriously. User is a developer himself and describes the problem like this:
"Tool1 installed without a problem and seems to be working fine.
When I tried to install the other two, Tool2 and Tool3, both went through this same process:
1.
Complained that I needed administrative privileges in order to install.
I was logged in as administrator. But then it proceeded to continue on
anyway.
2. Again, the installation halted. I'm sorry, I do not
remember the error, and cannot now reproduce it, but it again told me It
could not install the software and when I selected OK, it proceeded
with the installation. I'm going from memory, but I believe that was
before the prompt asking me to select a language.
3. The installation
went to completion, and when trying to start the application, it will
show on screen for 3 to 5 seconds, then disappear. This is the same
scenario for both of the programs I mentioned above."
User reports system:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
System Type x64-based PC
Here are some of my installer script setup:
[Setup]
AllowNoIcons=true
WindowVisible=false
UsePreviousSetupType=true
UsePreviousGroup=true
EnableDirDoesntExistWarning=true
OutputDir=output\
AlwaysShowDirOnReadyPage=true
AlwaysShowGroupOnReadyPage=true
Compression=lzma
DisableStartupPrompt=true
ShowLanguageDialog=yes
PrivilegesRequired=admin
ArchitecturesInstallIn64BitMode=x64
DisableDirPage=false
...
I am unsure if step #3 can or can not be attributed to behavior in my software or installer or system?
I am using InnoSetup 5.6.1 (u)
