Hi

I have a WIX setup invoking a C++ dll to check the license key. The same works in Windows XP. But doesnt in Windows 2000. The Installer doesnt display any error message and goes to finish screen giving a message "The Installer Wizard ended Prematurely because of an error" Can anyone help me out of this issue.

thanks in advance

You should join the WiX mailing list for WiX questions. Although WiX does Visual Studio plugins, the setup projects in this forum are the built-in Visual Studio setup projects and ClickOnce deployments.

This error is usually either a crash in the code or a missing dependency. Unless you static bind to libraries like the CRT then they need to be on the system. The version you need depends on th C++ version you're using.

If you're actually getting loaded and crashing then do some logging or tracing to see why the code is crashing.
