Summary
Error -6058: Internal build error.Symptoms
When you are building an InstallShield project, the following error may occur:
Error -6058: Internal build error.
Cause
This error occurs if there is a problem with a merge module that is included in your installation.
Resolution
If more than one merge module is included in the project, first identify the problematic merge module:
- In the Redistributables view, clear the check boxes for each merge module that may have caused the error.
- Select the check box for only one of the merge modules that need to be included in the installation.
- Rebuild the installation. If error -6058 occurs, the merge module selected is the one causing the error. If this error does not occur, continuing adding one merge module to your project at a time, and build the release until the error occurs.
Once the problematic merge module is identified, try reinstalling the merge module on the InstallShield machine where the build is being performed. If that does not resolve the error, contact the author of the merge module to obtain the latest version.
Note: As InstallShield 2009 Express, InstallShield 2010 Express Edition and InstallShield 2011 Express Edition only supports 32-bit Merge Modules, also verify the problem Merge Module being included is 32-bit as oppose to 64-bit.
Additional Information
This error is briefly documented in the InstallShield Help Library topic, Build Errors and Warnings.
