Installshield Project upgrade product name , registry, install directory


I am using Installshield 2014. I want to upgrade and rename my project name, registry, installation directory. I have updated these all information and generated single Image setup file. but my installer is not upgrading successfully.

I am getting error as "Error 1316 : can't read files from temp folder".

Error desc :

My older installer product name is x.msi

new installer product name is y.msi

but when i am upgrading x.msi to y.msi it is searching x.msi in c:\users\AppData\local\Temp\2{xxxxxxx}\x.msi.

I have verified in above location y.msi file is available but installer is trying to read older x.msi file only.

please help me to resolve this issu.


Solution

  • When you change the name of your .msi file and create a minor upgrade, you may encounter a 1316 error. Either rename y.msi such that it matches x.msi, or create a major upgrade instead of a minor upgrade.
