I'm using Installshield 6.3 Professional to build a setup on a Windows 2000 machine. The setup deletes some files before copying, but after it copies, it freezes before it gets to the OnFirstUIAfter function. It only does this on Windows 98; often after I cancel the install process, if I bring the setup up again, it will display the Repair/Modify/Remove prompt and not uninstall it when I ask it to.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
how far do you come along with debugging?
You have to prepare the setup for being debugged on the target machine.
Under Win2000: compile, build media, start Debugger (F5) until it has launched and stopped with the very first line. Abort the debugger (the only purpose is to have the debugger create a .dbg file).
Now copy your whole setup onto the Win98 target machine, additionally copy all files from InstallShield's \Scripts subdirectory.
Also copy a DLL (part of IS) into \Windows\System - the problem is that I don't know its name. With InstallShield 5.5 it was Isdbg55.dll. Maybe, somebody else knows which one is the proper one with IS 6.3x???
Then call
and you should be able to debug on your target system.
It's somewhat complicated, I know. It would be much easier to install a spare InstallShield license on this target machine to be able to debug it there.
