This took me a while to figure out, but i was getting a common problem when doing a fresh install on vista sp1.
I should point out, that i disabled UAC at first, and ran the installer via the command line as:
msiexec /i gbpvr10213.msi
Almost instantly after running the installer; i would get a fatal error: & a dialog saying: Installer ended prematurely.
I enabled logging on the msi and turned up this as the problem:
MSI © (B4:BC) [14:59:02:548]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Users\rachael\AppData\Local\Temp\MSI623C.tmp, Entrypoint: UpgradeCheck
Action ended 14:59:02: WiseUpgradeCheck. Return value 3.
I decided it was worth a risk/shot and i edited the msi installer's db using orca: You can download it here: http://www.technipages.com/download-orca...ditor.html - just load the msi in orca.
I searched for and found the MSI key called: WiseUpgradeCheck. I removed the row from the msi database and re-saved the msi.
The install then appears to have worked flawlessly.
Hope this is somewhat clear; hope this can help others.
