I'm getting this error message when I run Installscript projects that I just built. I've searched everywhere trying to figure this out.

Error occured while parsing installer setup file ..\path\setup.ini
or
The file could not be located.

Are you sure the file was installed where you think it is? You should avoid relative path entries in your InstallScript and use path variables.

IIRC, a relative path will resolve from where the installer executable is running, not from <TARGETDIR>. IF you need to get the file from <TARGETDIR>\path\setup.ini, that's what you should speciify.

Ignore the path. I just typed the ..\path\ etc instead of the cluttering the message with the long path. And the path included my product name I did not want to display.

The real error is:

Error occured while parsing installer setup file (then the path to the setup.ini file is displayed here in the error message dialog.)

The setup.ini file exists in the location.

I have done an exhaustive internet search to try to find this error message and I cannot find it anywhere.

It could be a windows installer error message. Does anyone know where a windows installer forum is?

I've attached the error message, but I blocked out the product name from the path. I'm getting this error message on other projects that I compile on my machine.

It is an InstallScript project, not MSI. This is not the only InstallScript project I had the same issue with.
