    Where to find error code meanings; error code 2711

    Right after my installscript stuff goes, asking me for destination and to select custom features, etc. and what looks to be immediately before the files begin install, I get an error dialog stating:

    "Internal Error 2711" and names a feature..that's it.

    I tried to look up this error in MSI Help and Developer help with no luck. I couldn't even find any 2xxx serires error messages!

    Can someone point me where to find this help on my own, and/or tell me what this means? Thanks,

    More info. If I uncheck the feature that was giving me the error at runtime in the Custom dialog, then I don't get the error.

    However, nothing installs! Yet the installer runs through all of its sequences, just quickly skips over "Copying Files". I have no directory created, no files transferred, no folder under the start menu, etc. There is an entry in Add/Remove programs though. When I click on it to unisntall, it instantly is removed with nothing else happening.

    Bizarre. This installer was working find with 7.02! Any ideas why this all may be happening?

    I did look at the created .cab file. It does have the proper files within it that I can see. So I don't get it...

    Thanks for the info. That person was having the same problem I was...I figured it out; it was because I needed to change the GUID's...

    Thanks again,
