FinalBuilder 7 is returning an error when it runs my InstallShield 2012 Basic MSI project. The log file created by InstallShield shows 0 errors and 0 warnings.
I'm using:
FinalBuilder 7, Build 1864
Windows XP SP 3
InstallShiled 2012 Professional Edition SP1
What criteria is FinalBuilder using to determine the error condition?
Here's the InstallShield 2012 log file:

We look at the return code , a non zero return code is supposed to indicate failure, sadly Installshield has a history of spurious return code usage. I have exposed the ReturnCode property to scripting so it should be possible to see what the returncode is and deal with it in the AfterAction script event, e.g :
[code] if (Action.ReturnCode == -1073741818){ ActionResult = true; Continue = true;}[/code]
I’m running a build with this change now, I will post here when it’s uploaded.

Vincent,
Thanks. I was able to catch the ReturnCode from InstallShield 2012 (-1073741819) and bybass the error. The build from InstallShield seems to run fine.
I’ll see if I can learn from Flexera Software why InstallShield is returning a non-zero code but showing no errors.
Paul
