I get error 2714 when I try to install one of my projects.
Created a simple project where I can create and run the installer successfully. The msi log from the successful and failed setups are the same till the following line, which is in the failed setup:
...
line 100 - MSI (c) (38:10) [08:02:30:371]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ROOTDRIVE property. Its value is 'd:\'.
line 101 - MSI (c) (38:10) [08:02:30:371]: Note: 1: 2714 2: ./|./
line 102 - MSI (c) (38:10) [08:02:30:371]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: -2147287038
line 103 - DEBUG: Error 2714: Invalid value for default folder name: ./|./.
line 104 - MSI (c) (38:48) [08:02:30:374]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Error 3: -2147287038
...
The strange error which probably causes the installer to fail is in the line 101.
My project structure
- MyApp.ConsoleApp(Console app)
- MyApp.Core(Class library)
- MyApp.Tests(MS Test project)
- MyApp.UI(C# WPF app)
- Setup(The setup project)
Based on Windows installer error messages,
The 2714 error is:
2714 - Invalid value for default folder name: [2].
Used the following command to get more info from the error
msiexec /i Setup.msi /L*V info.log
What could I do to get more info where that "./|./ " -probably- path comes from in?
Did anyone face similar issue and solved it?
