Build Error 6652 cannot create isconfig.xml

Title

Summary

isdev - 6652 cannot create isconfig.xml

Symptoms

When building an InstallShield project, the following error occurs:

isdev - 6652 cannot create isconfig.xml

Workaround

1) Change the component .NET settings: ?.NET Installer Class?

A) If the key file of the component is not a .Net Installer Class set this property to 'No'.

B) If the key file of the component is a .Net Installer Class ensure there is only one key file in the component or place the .Net Installer Class in a new component.

2) Ensure a directory exists or create a directory with the same name as your *.ism as a subfolder. Example:

The project is 'test.ism' and exists in directory 'C:\InstallShieldProjects'

C:\InstallShieldProjects\test.ism

Create the directory 'test' under directory 'InstallShieldProjects':

'C:\InstallShieldProjects\test\'

Additional Information

The _isconfig.xml file is created when a .NET assembly is selected as a key file for a component and the InstallShield ?.NET Installer Class? setting is set to ?Yes? for the component.

It is embedded with the setup as a support file. The file is project specific and requires ?.NET Framework File Locations? under the Options->.NET setting for InstallShield to be set correctly.

The _isconfig.xml file is a config file passed to InstallUtilLib at build time for use to run the .NET installer classes.

At build time InstallUtilLib is embedded into the binary table and custom actions are added that use the information in_isconfig.xml. Then at runtime the installer classes for that .NET assembly will be run.
