Installation Issues

0 votes
I've been trying to install TypeMock on my development machine, but every time I try, it tells me "Setup Wizard ended prematurely". It assures me that my system hasn't been modified, but the install *looks* like it completed. There's a TypeMock directory under Program Files, an entry in the Start Menu and the VS add in is even present. I've noticed, however, that not everything is right in TypeMock-ville as there seem to be missing libraries and such.

The OS is Vista and I'm using Visual Studio 2005 with SP 1 for Vista installed. Is there a log where I can pull the exact error somewhere? Registry setting? There's an Application Event with an event Id of 11729 but all it tells me is that configuration failed. There's another entry that indicates a reconfigure success or error status of 1603, but that's not particularly helpful, either.

Any help will be apprecaited.

Jacob hi,

It looks strange indeed, however its hard knowing what the problem from this. what I would try is uninstalling all previous versions of TypeMock and then trying to install again.
We had some issues with Vista installation in a previous version but that had been solved. Since you havnt mentioned what version you are trying to install I assume you are using the latest one 4.03 (If you are not that may also help).

If all else fails, please run the installer from command line and enable logging: 
 msiexec /i <full path to the TypeMock MSI> /l <full path of the log file>

The specific error should turn out in the log and we can find the exact problem.

Thanks. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work, but when I ran a console (as administrator) with that command line it seemed to install just fine.

Hi,
Im not sure if that was the initial problem,
but in general TypeMock needs to be installed by an administrator.

In any case I think it should be worth while to add this to our installation instructions.

Thank you for this report.
