Howdy Y’all

I’ve been having this weird problem and I can’t for the life of my figure it out. Here’s what’s happening.

I create an MSI using WfWI 4.01 for a C++ application and included the merge modules that I need. Every thing seems fine when I build the install and run the install on PCs, however when I run the installs on Compaq laptops I have nothing but problems. I get errors in the Event Log, Auto Repair keeps coming up when you don’t have local admin privileges. At times it even corrupts MS Office or other Windows Installer installations.

If you have any ideas or suggestions as to what I should look into I would greatly appetite it.

Cheers!

Scott Williams

First, is it the same OS on every machine?

Second, do you have the proper version of the Windows Installer Engine on the problem machines?

Third, what are the errors in the event log?
