I can't for the life of me figure out why this call to DoInstall doesn't work.

| CODE |
szProductName = "DSStudio"; svFileName = SRCDIR ^ szProductName ^ "Setup.inx"; LongPathToQuote(svFileName, FALSE); szCmd = "Suite"; //Suite switch - makes it not display the UI if (Is(FILE_EXISTS, svFileName)) then MessageBox("The file: " + svFileName + " exists", INFORMATION); else MessageBox("The file: " + svFileName + " does not exist", INFORMATION); endif; nResult = DoInstall (svFileName, szCmd, WAIT); if (nResult < 0) then szError = FormatMessage(nResult); MessageBox(szError, SEVERE); endif; |
Every time I try to run it, the Is(FILE_EXISTS, svFileName) returns TRUE and the the file is found. I verified that the file actually exists manually, too. When I try to call DoInstall() on the file, it keeps throwing a -2147024893 error (The system cannot find the path specified.). I've tried to add quotes to the path, remove quotes from the path, remove spaces from the path, add spaces to the path, etc.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Ok, I finally figured it out after about 8 hours of moving it around, putting quotes, passing empty parameters and stuff. I realized that the .inx file that I was trying to call was somehow corrupted. I rebuilt that project and everything worked as expected.
Not the first time that I've had misleading error messages from IS. I mean really, how could I guess that the install file was corrupt when it is telling me that there's something wrong with the path? Sheesh!
