The installer was interrupted before [AppName] could be installed.

[James Holak]

I have created a simple Web Application that just contains default.aspx and a
web.config. I have added a Web Setup project to this solution, it Built Fine
in VS2008. The installer works fine on windows Vista x64, but fails on the
Virtual Machines of XP and 2003 R2. The installer reads "The installer was
interrupted before [Setup name] could be installed. You need to restart the
installer to try again."
Both of the installer logs contain this:
MSI (c) (AC:48) ... Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: -2147287038
DEBUG: Error 2769: Custom Action WEBCA_EvaluateURLsNoFail did not close 2
MSIHANDLEs.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2769. The
arguments are: WEBCA_EvaluateURLsNoFail, 2,
Action ended 18:24:08: WEBCA_EvaluateURLsNoFail. Return value 1.

I have looked this up and the only offered solution is to run it as
administrator. I have tried running it under an Account in Administrators
and as the local Administrator and still got the same message.

Does anyone know what is going on here? Even if I create a sample project
within one of these VM, it still gives me the same error.

James,

I have exactly the same problem on a Compaq Laptop with a AMD Turion 64 x 2
processor machine running XP (this machine comes with Vista installed, but my
employer re-installs XP - until they migrate to vista). Winforms applications
install and run fine, but asp.net apps and web services fail with the same
error you have identified.

Did you solve this?

Regards

Justin

You will also get this error if you have no virtual directories in your IIS. Have you deleted the default website by accident?
If so just create a blank website in the IIS console GUI.

When you create a Web Setup deployment project in Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Vista, you have to turn on the Windows IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility feature. You also have to be logged on as an Administrator; otherwise you will be unable to run setup.exe to install the project
