Installer Error 2920

[baker_matt]

I created an installer through Visual Studios setup and deployment tool.  I included CW3dGraph_OCX.msm (8.0.0), However when I run the installer I recieve the following error message.

"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2920."

 The Event Log indicates the following:

"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2920. The arguments are: cw3dgrph.ocx.95A62C25_864C_11D3_AB56_006008CA11D7"

I have seen similiar posts where people are having this problem with different libraries however that is version 7.0 and different MSM's.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hey baker_matt,

I've got a few questions that will help us all better understand what may be going on...

First, what version of Measurement Studio and Visual Studio are you using? Also, what version of Windows are you developing on, and what version are you deploying to? Lastly, what language are you using?

Also, in your project, for each of the references, we want to make sure that all of the corresponding merge modules are included. In the Measurement Studio Documentation, go to Deploying Applications » Merge Modules and Deployment Files » .NET Merge Modules. From this page, you can see which merge modules should be included for each reference.

Lastly, I would suggest creating a new basic application which only has the graph and very little functionality. Try building and running the installer with this simplified project. The results of this will help narrow down the root of the issue.

Best Regards,

I am using Visual Studio 2008, OS is Windows XP I have installed LavWindows 9.0.1 and the version of the msm is marked 8.0.0. Is is very simple to recreate make a setup and deployment wizard project then add the CW3dgrph.msm as a dependancy and a text file to be installed.  Compile and run.

mukus,

MANY MANY MANY MANY THANK YOUS!!!!!!!!

I have been struggling with this problem for years and always had to make backhanded ways of installing using one from the LabWindows Deployment Wizard and one from Visual Studio.  I have posted this question over and over and over again everytime I have to create a new major release and NEVER EVER gotten an answer. 

I wish I could buy you a six pack.

Thanks again!
