Installshield error 1001 without installshield installed

Question

I have an application with an installshield installer. I install a service and a windows form.

Whenever I install the application on computers where I have installshield it installs, but when I try to install it on other machines it gives me Error 1001.

I am using Installshield LE, Visual Studio 2010. I am using the same OS on the development machines and on the machines where I would like to install, Windows 7.

Anyone has any idea how could that problem sorted? I tried to add all of the installshiled references what I could, but it did not change anything.

Regards Daniel

Answer 1

This installation error can occur because the incorrect version of InstallUtilLib.dll has been streamed into the MSI package for the .NET Installer Class custom actions.

Q112469: INFO: Error 1001 Occurs During Installation

Are you using both VS10 and VS12 ?

Have you activated the InstallShield ?

Answer 2

I had the exact scenario and error, installing a service and one winform. It turns out I was getting the 1001 error (apparently) because my service was already running on that machine. (Which is why i suspect you were only getting the error on your development machine?) When I uninstalled the service through add/remove programs, the installation went as planned.

Answer 3

I had a similar problem. Mine was being caused by a similar service that was already installed. Uninstalling the already installed service worked for me.

Answer 4

This error occurs when you have a referenced Framework that you have not installed in the server where you are trying to install your app, select installshield le in menu bar, select options and then .NET, finally select the framework's folder in my case was v2.0 because that's the framework i have installed in the server,

hope can help

Answer 5

Hopefully this will help some of you encountering the Error 1001 when trying to install a .NET Windows Service using InstallShield 2015 LE installer project with the Primary Output set as an Installer.

It's a known InstallShield bug when .NET 4.6 is installed on Windows 10.

Answer 6

Verify that you have the correct version of the .NET framework installed on the machine that you are installing the software to. The version is shown in the project properties.
