I use Inno Setup to create my first installer.
But when the installer is launched, before having the windows screen asking the permission to execute this file, I get a window with this error:

ShellExecuteEx a échoué : code 299
Seule une partie d'une requete ReadProcessMemory ou WriteProcessMemory a été effectuée.

English (from WinError.h):

ERROR_PARTIAL_COPY - Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.

And then the installer is launched. But, after about 10 sec, it launches again on its own.

Here is my iss file: 

; Script generated by the Inno Script Studio Wizard.
; SEE THE DOCUMENTATION FOR DETAILS ON CREATING INNO SETUP SCRIPT FILES!

#define MyAppName "Facturation"
#define MyAppVersion "1.0"
#define MyAppPublisher "JoWe"
#define MyAppURL "http://www.jowe.fr/"

I have this problem even when I create an new installer with the wizard. I have added a log to the Inno Studio, but it only have the log of the compilation, where there is no error.

Does anyone know where this problem comes from?

  • Can you reduce the script to a minimal example that still reproduces the problem? Also attach a log file (`/log` command-line switch). – Martin Prikryl Feb 01 '16 at 12:53
  • I have edited my question with a simpler example. I still have this problem (I have this problem even when I create an new installer with the wizard). – wyllyjon Feb 01 '16 at 13:18
  • Can you show us an English error message? (The actual English error message, not your translation of it). – Martin Prikryl Feb 01 '16 at 13:19
  • I work with inno Studio, so I found the log conf only in "setup option" which logs only compilation. And in the log, there is no error... I only have an error when launching the installer – wyllyjon Feb 01 '16 at 13:27
  • So run the compiled installer manually from command-line. – Martin Prikryl Feb 01 '16 at 13:29
  • If the problem happens when you launch it with `ShellExecuteEx`, then you should include the code that launches it. Chances are quite good it has nothing to do with the setup and everything to do with your call to `ShellExecuteEx`. – Ken White Feb 01 '16 at 13:39
  • Ok, I have understood how the logger works, thanks :) So, there is no error : the log file starts after I authorized the execution of the exe file (windows prompt), but the error is shown before I have the Windows execution authorization screen... – wyllyjon Feb 01 '16 at 13:45
  • @KenWhite : I have no idea of what is the ShellExecuteEx. I don't use it in my script... I use inno Studio to generate my iss file, and I have this problem. – wyllyjon Feb 01 '16 at 13:46
  • @KenWhite I believe it's the `ShellExecuteEx` that the main installer uses to launch the child installer. – Martin Prikryl Feb 01 '16 at 13:58
  • @MartinPrikryl: Yes, the poster told me. :-) wyllijon: How are you launching the installer? From Inno Studio, from the command line, or by double-clicking it in Explorer? – Ken White Feb 01 '16 at 14:03
  • Well, I've meant that, the `setup.exe` (main installer) contains an inner installer that the main installer extracts to a temporary folder and launches it using `ShellExecuteEx`. But you are right, the error can come from the Inno Studio too. So @wyllyjon do you get the error when you run the installer from command-line/Explorer? Or only when you run it from Inno Studio? – Martin Prikryl Feb 01 '16 at 14:06
  • I have this error when the Studio launches the installer after compliation, but also when I launch it from explorer, and also from command line – wyllyjon Feb 01 '16 at 14:59

    It seems that something went wrong with this line : SetupIconFile=D:\apps\vivemus\vivemus.com\resources\img\favicon.ico. Without this line, I don't have the error anymore... I don't kown why, because if I have a fully qualified pathname, and according to the documentation, it would have worked.... Any idea of the problem ? – wyllyjon Feb 01 '16 at 18:59
  • Can you share the `.ico` file with us? – Martin Prikryl Feb 02 '16 at 06:59

A co-worker ran into the same issue. It turned out that the Virus scan, Avast, was the cause. Disabling the virus scan, then installer ran without any issue.
