Setup did not complete successfully?

[Tek]

Hi.

I can't figure out why my setup log shows that the setup did not complete successfully. This is the last few lines of my setup log.

[03/19/2005 11:17:57] Error Setup did not complete successfully (5)

Can anyone tell me how I can find out what failed? Turning on debug didn't show me anyting that helped.

The reason why I need to fix this even though the program is installed correctly is because my Internet update downloads the full installer and runs it silent, but when it gets to the end it reports back to the update application that it failed.

Thanks.

You can check the list of return codes in the help file. Here's a link to it:

http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/su...turn_Codes.htm

Code 5 indicated that "The installation was aborted by the user."

[Tek]

Ahh thank you.

I was using Application.Exit() instead of Screen.Next() and that fixed it.

[Ted Sullivan]

No problem. I'm glad you got it working!

Error Setup did not complete successfully (5)
A profound sigh of recognition!

Tek, you are lucky. I spent a working day to understand this.

As in your case the program was installed correctly, but the 'On Shutdown' actions were skipped. The new action Screen.End() (v.7.0.2.0) is really handy.

The first time I had the 'Error (5)' message, I looked for the entry word 'Error', but the error codes start with 1000... Tip: The keyword 'error codes' should have a reference to "Setup Return Codes".

Still some return codes are missing? I am told that (2) means "File not found"?

[Tek]

Hmm I wish I had found your post earlier csd214.

I agree that there should be some warning about using Application.Exit(), but my question is that even if I used Application.Exit(0) I would still get the error code 5 in my setup log. Why is that?

[Adam]

Application.Exit(0) means that the setup will return 0 to its calling program (if it has one). The error report is completely separate from this.

Ahh thank you for clarifying that for me Adam.
