Hi,

I am working on a InstallScript project in which I need to install Crystal Reports runtime for .NET 2.0 framework on the end users machine. I downloaded the required merge module from BusinessObjects website and incorporated in my setup. But during installation this merge module gives an error: "1: ALLUSERS property is not 1 - the MSM cannot be used for a per-user or fallback-to-per-user install 2: 2"
The installation is being carried out under Administrative privileges and all the other files and short cuts in the project are getting copied for all users.
I tried setting ALLUSERS=1 in installscript as well as the property table but it did not work.
The merge module was downloaded from the following location:

Crystal Report Merge Module


Thanks,

Vaibhav

Maybe the value of ALLUSERS is not forwarded to the merge module holder object (I never tried this). As a workaround create a Basic MSI project that only includes the Crystal modules and set ALLUSERS to 1 in the Property manager. Then include this msi setup in your InstallScript setup (basically that's what the merge module holder object does).

Hi,

Thanx for the reply Stefan.

This is a response that I got from Macrovision forum and it works:

Though the soution given is for Installshield 11.5 but it works for 11 as well.

Thanks Vaibhav. the link helped me to solve the problem I was getting while adding VC++ runtime objects.

Thanks again for the link !

Although this post is over 2 years since the last, I'd like to also thank you for this solution!

Does anyone know of a more permanent and proper fix for this? This seems to be more of a workaround since it requires a manual tweak to an included MSI package.

Is it a bug either with Installshield or Microsoft (since it's an MSI package?)
