Hi All,

I developed a .net framework1.1 application and deployed with
InstallShield Express 12. One customer got "fatal error 800040005"
after installation. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
You have a 9-digit, 72-bit value there: 800040005

I suspect the actual error is 0x80040005 or 0x80004005

If I had to guess, it's probably the infinitely helpful 0x80004005,
"Unspecified error". Basically, it tells you nothing other than that
something failed.

If it's 0x80040005, that's a bit more helpful: "Need to run the object to
perform this operation." What that might mean in your particular instance, I
couldn't say, though. Best to first determine which of the two it is, and
then go from there.
