Hello,

on some machines I get:

DEBUG: Error 2318: File does not exist: c:\pagefile.sys

I get it on several (not all) machines with Win 2000 and WI 2.0.2600.1183.
It happens during a minor upgrade.
With UI-sequence it accures during dialog SetupResume, if without UI-sequence it occures during CA InstallValidate.

Thanks for good ideas in advance!
Johannes

P.S. I'm NOT trying to install pagefile.sys!

Hello Stefan,

thanks for your reply!
The error terminated the run, but I have found the problem.

Because of I knew, what I had changed between the two versions, I knew where to search for the cause.

I found it in the directory table.
I had defined two new entries, each with TARGETDIR as parent und "."(point) as defaultdir. The actual values were set in the ExecuteSequence with CA35.

Now I changed the parentdir values to INSTALLDIR ( perhaps not necessary ) and the defaultdir from "." to "X".

Now the setup updates correctly.

Thanks to all.
Johannes

I have exactly same problem like you had when doing minor upgrade. I looked at the Directory table but could not find any undocumented MSI property like DATABASE or any invalid entry. I just migrated IS8 project to IS 9 and this error happened. Any hints to debug?

Thanks in advance!

Try running a validate on your msi package with installshield or orca, this might be able to point you in the right direction.
