Hi
IS version is: InstallShield 2008
Target machine: Windows Vista/ Windows 2008

I have a SetupPrerequiste to deploy Windows Installer 4.5 prior to running my setup program. The installer fails to extract the *.msu package to C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp with an error 1152.

Does any one have experience in deploying a msu package via SetupPrerequiste?
On InstallShield 2008 a redistributable package is not available to do the same. Thx.

I am running InstallShield Professional 2008 and I have a prerequisite for Windows Installer 4.5. albeit it says the minimum required Operating System is Windows XP SP2 or later (x86). I am assuming that this would work on Vista. Have you applied all available updates for IS 2008? Also, could you not write your own prerequisite for this?

MSI 4,5 can be installed on Vista and Vista SP1, but is already included in Vista SP2.
For a table of all MSI versions and their platform support, including download links for redistributables, please see the matrix at

Please check your license agreement with Microsoft before redistributing mSUs that you downlaoded.
