questino about execute sequence

[mercypoint]

Is there a way to debug where or which sequence has a problem?

I have a basic MSI package that will terminate the installing progress without any future helpful information regarding the error that cause the termination.

It would give me a "The wizard was interrupted before the project could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again."

This package is a very basic copy files over, run a custom script. From what I know, it did not run the custom script so it is before InstallFinalize action.

Help...

The basic approach is to create a log file.
msiexec /i myinstall.msi /l*v c:\log.txt

Then examine the log. My first task always is search on the word "error".

After that if things need to get real deep we have kept around a debug message box custom action that we will insert. We don't use that too often.

There are other tools and methods out there.
