Deployment / MSI Question

[Stephen Farmer]

I a solution containing a number of projects. In one of the projects I have
an install class. I've configured the setup to run a custom action, created
the UI's and set up the Custom Action Data. When the MSI is run, it installs
all of the files then pops a dialog stating:

Usage:InstallUtil [/u | /uninstall] [option[...] ....

InstallUtil executes the installers in each given assembly.......

After pressing OK it rolls back the install. Any Idea as to what could be
causing this woould be greatly appreaciated.

Stephen,

You are installing a service, right? When the service is installed, it
needs to run InstallUtil from the command line in order to access your .NET
code which configures the service. This is what you are seeing when the
command window pops up.

Hope this helps.

Nicholas,

Thanks for the input, but I'm actually installing a web application.
I've tracked the root of the problem to the Custom Data property and been
able to resolve it. Got to love those examples that aren't quite right....
