irsetup runtime error

[mackscynox]

hi,

I have developed an installer for my project. The installer runs perfectly on Win XP/2000 machines but on win98 i have problems.

I have searched a bit and found the log for the setup. In XP/2000 windowses the setup continues to register DLL section "[File Registration]" but on win98 i do not see this. SO the problem is here. after installing all files and start registration i something like this error:

IRSETUP.exe runtime error -> C:\Windows\Temp\irsetup.exe

On some win98 machines the installer do not generate errors but also do not register dll's.

Is there a workaround for this error?

Thanks for your help.

Well, it is probably the registration of a DLL that is causing the problem. When you need to do is to determine which DLL it is. Do this by turning off registration one by one until you find the offending DLL. Once you find it, see if there are any dependent DLLs that need to be installed first. If so, put them in your setup and change the install order so that the dependency DLLs are installed first. If that is not the case, then try going to Start > Run on the system and registering the DLL with regsvr32.exe "<dll path and filename>" to see if it registers successfully there. If it does, then turn off registration from SUF70 and put in a File.Run action at the end of the install to run regsvr32.exe.
