I click Finish and it minimizes but never actually finishes.

I don't have any code after SDFinish.

I made a verbose log (/L*v) and at the end it says that the verbose logging finished and stopped logging, so the installer hung AFTER closing the log.

If I kill the installer with taskmanager, I get a dialog that says the install failed with error 1628.

Any ideas?

/L*v only works for MSI projects. What project type are you using?

It's an Installshield X Installscript project.

Quote from the documentation:
QUOTE
/v : Pass arguments to Msiexec (Windows Installer-based projects only)
The /v option is used to pass command-line options and values of public properties through to Msiexec.exe.

I really don't think this would work for (pure) InstallScript projects.

not even for "InstallScript MSI"


FYI, we never did find out what caused it, but we narrowed it down to a certain section of the script being responsible, then re-wrote that section from scratch, and the problem went away.

Sorry to have posted on the wrong forum.

Glad to hear that the problem is solved.
Both Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI are based on the MSI engine, which is completely difefrent from the InstallScript engine. Therefore it was important for me to know what project type you are using exactly.
