InstallShield Error 7132 -- An error occurred streaming ISSetup.dll support file .. Setup.inx

Nearing completion, InstallShield 2010 running under Vista is failing with the following message:

ISDEV : error -7132: An error occurred streaming ISSetup.dll support file ..\Release..\Setup.inx

where Release is the directory from which InstallShield was launched. This error is fatal. The InstallShield build aborts, and no installer is created.

Insofar as watching Windows Explorer would reveal, I see no evidence of the Setup.inx file being created. I suspected some kind of Windows file protection problem, but peculiarly, the larger tree in which this problem occurs has uniform protections, and I can make other installers within other parts of the tree without any difficulty. The other installers have been created with more or less the same methodology and deal with similar directory configurations.

I would appreciate any thoughts on what might be the nature of this problem, both in general and with regard to any specific theories. I've read elsewhere that error 7132 captures a sort of grab bag of possible errors.

Thanks, all.

There can be following 2 reasons

  1. If either *.rul file in script folder is empty or missing.
  2. Install shield generate many run time files and we sometimes check them into source control/TFS, thus making them read only. Make sure that all files in script folder, except *.rul are deleted or made writable.

One more reason can be there for the ISDEV : error -7132: An error occurred streaming ISSetup.dll support file ..\Release..\Setup.inx. If you mistakenly deleted the 'Script Files' folder or contents inside it, The same error will occur.

Workaroud: Create a new script in 'Behaviour and Logic -> InstallScript', this will create a script for you in 'Script Files' folder and work smoothly.
