[Reply or follow-up to this message] A better fix for this isscript.msi problem Thursday, March 21, 2002 at 3:52 pm Posted by z567eight (1 messages posted) Gizzmo, if you notice under the logs for XP, this output a ton of error messages when you install anything under XP. For everyone out there, I've found a better way to get rid of this stupid isscript.msi problem because installing this file doesn't help and Gizzmo's methods produces errors. & the best part, it's really easy. Using regedit, remove this key and all subkeys, (you may want to make a backup just in case) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer (You may have to do this for every user on the machine, but I only needed to do it for one) That's it. It removes the stupid isscript problem and doesn't produce any errors during installation and the programs can still be unstalled afterwards. I've run my machine without this key for a good month or two without any problems, so try it out. And in case anyone want to know how I figured out this key was the problem, I have installed XP fresh on 5 personal PCs and my computer was the only one putting out this error message (all the machines had the same software but only slightly different software). After compairing all the registries, this was the only registry key that was not on the other 4 machines that were working correctly. Hope this helps out a few people out there... z567eight On Thursday, December 6, 2001 at 3:22 am, gizzmo wrote: >I found a fix for this problem...open regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\{some >huge number here}\SourceList\ ....You should see a couple of values listed, probably >the filename ISScript.msi as well as a path...delete these values, and all your Windows >Installer problems should disappear...it worked on my XP Pro upgrade over Win2K Pro. > [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: A better fix for this isscript.msi problem Friday, March 22, 2002 at 9:12 pm Posted by gizzmo (2 messages posted) Thanks for the tip. I never even bothered to check the error logs, since the error in question is a "silent" error and causes no other problems other than the entry in the log file, which is only slightly better than worthless. At any rate, I (apparently erroneously) assumed that the key in question was there for a reason and didn't want to delete or suggest that anyone else delete a signifigant amount of registry data. I'm assuming (haven't tested your fix yet) that removing the key will get rid of the three Windows Installer windows that flash by when I install *.msi and Installshield-based programs. I'm still rather amazed that M$ doesn't have a fix for this yet. But then, they just got around to fixing the stupid "system has recovered from a serious error" message at every boot that many of my customers are experiencing. Anyway, thanks for the heads up; I'll give it a shot.

Here is what I found. Go to : http://www.arcanadev.com/msi.htm If you are receiving an error message regarding the InstallScript Engine, please download isscript.msi. After downloading, double-click the file to install the engine, then rerun the product setup. On Thursday, February 7, 2002 at 10:50 am, aynard de clermont tonnerre wrote: >thats works find.

After downloading, double-click the file to install the engine, then rerun the product setup. The isscript.msi is located at the bottom of the page, once you download it run the file. I had to install both the instmsiw.exe file and isscript.msi, once I did that then I had no more problems with it asking for the isccript path. Hope this helps.

Bulletin boards are about helping people, ungrudgingly and without smartarse comments. We all have somthing to learn and you more than most.

I did not lose any files, but had to reinstall about 75% of my software. It's a bit annoying to reinstall the software, but all of my install issues were finally fixed. Try using the system restore function....but back up you important docs just in case.
