I am currently working with Install shield installer to create a setup for a Windows Application Service based project in .NET 4.5, Visual Studio 2013, Windows 7-32bit. I have created an installer project without any build errors that does the installation for me. When I install the setup, it is giving me an error 1001 only.enter image description here

  • what's the configuration of your project. Is it debug any cpu? and Is your InstallUtilLib.dll is also a 32 bit or 64 bit? – amit dayama Oct 23 '15 at 09:23
  • Which version of InstallShield are you using? There's a known problem with Installer Classes when .NET 4.6 is on the build machine. This particular problem was resolved in ISLE 2015 and IS 2015 SP1. – Michael Urman Oct 23 '15 at 11:57
  • You are using Installer classes to ibstall your service. This is unnecessary - if you have a version of InstallShield that supports native install of services using MSIs ServiceInstall and ServiceControl tables then use them instead. That error message is just the undocumented error when there is a failure in the InstallUtilLib mechanism that locates and runs your installer class methods. – PhilDW Oct 24 '15 at 18:12
  • Amit dayama, i am working on VS2013 with 32 bit configuration. – Vishal Kadam Patil Oct 27 '15 at 13:47
  • @PhilDW I am not using installer classes – Vishal Kadam Patil Oct 27 '15 at 13:48
  • You need to verify that because I can actually SEE a Project Installer,cs file in your screenshot!! For starters, every web search you do for error 1001 will say it's related to installer classes, installutillib.dll and so on. Examples http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16026273/error-1001-on-uninstall http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsnetsetup/archive/2012/03/14/msi-installation-fails-while-installing-a-custom-action-with-error-1001-exception-occurred-while-initializing-the-installation.aspx because 1001 is the generic installer managed code custom action error. – PhilDW Oct 27 '15 at 20:34
