Hello,

This post is really solving my problem, but I cannot seem to run it. I get the same error mensioned above "Installer was interripted before Application could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again" but cannot find why am I getting it. I recreated the same setup project by your instructions and still getting the same mistake. Does anyone knows what is wrong and why am I getting this?? I really need this solution so any answer would be really appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Sounds to me like you either not have access to the .xap file (either it's read-only, in use or the user executing the code doesn't have access to the .xap file) or the file is not in the specified location. I'd put a breakpoint before zipFile.Save is called and then go into windows explorer to find out if the file is there and if so if it's read only for some reason. If not, try to edit it manually, both with the debugger still on break and after termination. That should give you enough information to figure it out.

In my project I have created one function to update .xap file.Error is coming when zipFile.Save() method is called.

@sagarT: I'm not sure I understand what you mean. When does this exception occur exactly? Is it when you build or when you run the setup or when you run the application?

@Swathi: I've downloaded the project myself and after building the entire solution and the setup project I ran into this error. It is caused by a faulty dependency setting for the .NET framework dependency in the setup project.

To correct it:

Open the solution explorer and find the setup project (SilverlightInstallerSetup).
Open the Detected Dependencies folder and double click on Microsoft .NET Framework. This will open the Launch Conditions window.
Find the .NET Framework dependencies in that window, right click it and click Properties Window.
In the Properties Window change the Version property to .NET Framework 4.
Rebuild the setup project and try again.

It should now try to launch a debugger while installing. This is normal behavior. Simply choose to attach it to the VS you already have open and if you don't want to debug, just hit F5 to continue.

HTH.

@aad: This is usually caused by an exception that was thrown during the execution of the CustomAction. Attach a debugger, so you can find out where things go wrong. You can do so by following my tip in the start of step 2.1.

HTH.

@Anonymous: I've tested it here and it works fine. Could you try again and tell me what is going wrong? Are you getting an error of some kind?

The source code download link is incorrect. I am unable to download the project. Please post the correct download link.

Hi, Sickandar,

Sorry about that. I've uploaded a new version with the zip library in place in the debug folder, so you can run directly.

I would like to encourage you to download the library from codeplex as well as this includes the licensing and documentation.

Thanks for the heads up,

Jonathan van de Veen
