A InstallAnyWhere project fails to launch with Fatal Application Error
Hi,

 

Till yesterday, I am able to use InstallAnyWhere 2010 successfully without any problems. But I am getting a wiard exception when I try to launch the same InstallAnyWhere projects (.iap_xml file) now.

 

It opens up a Fatal Application Error dialog attached.

 

The details buttons has shows the follows me the following:

 

isus.UpdateServiceException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Character reference "&17" is an invalid XML character.

 

at isus.XMLWrapper.(Unknown Source)

 

at isus.ProfileManager.(Unknown Source)

... 12 more

 

 

Well, I though may be the abc.iap_xml document has wrong letter in it, so I tried to open other xyz.iap_xml in vain.

 

Ok, I have uninstalled the InstallAnyWhere 2010 and installed it again, surprising only for the first time I am able to open up application. If close it and try opening it again gives me same above error.

 

Please guys, somebody help me.

  • Have you by any chance edited your project with anything else besides IA Advanced Designer? Like a text editor or something? Also have you searched your project for the offending string: &17 ?
  • Yes, I am able to open it with a browser without any problem.

     

    I doubted that I might have entered wrong charecter and saved it, and reverted the chages back to the older. So it should get open.

     

    I have seen previously opened project names under InstallAnyWhere open proejcts window. If we can clear all the projects that are registered with InstallAnyWhere could solve the issue.
