Access Denied Error while installing custom Guidance package
Hi there,

We have created our own custom Guidance Package using Guidance Automation Toolkit 2008. The package installs successfully in most of the machines but in only 2 machines we face the "Access Denied Error" during installation which will eventually rollback the installation.

Below is the information from the log file of the GAX which gets generated in the %temp% folder for your reference. Please help.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Hi,


Perhaps, you must read this two links:

In these posts have the same problem, and they solve it accessing to the registry and verify if the package guid wasn´t installed.

Hi,

I tried the solution but it does not help either.

Thanks,

Hi Ranjith,

In that cases is not recommended make any change in the registry, because it could have multiple side effects.

GAX/GAT was designed to develop under Administrator privileges, you're trying to register a Guidance Package without the proper privileges. If you're on design time you should have been prompted about the Administrator credentials, if you're on installation time, the msi must run using a elevated user.

Prior to Vs 2008, is recommended to run VS using an elevated user.

hth.

Hi,

I'm the administrator of the machine and few months back it got installed without any problem. I had to rebuild my machine in order to get it properly installed.

Thanks

The host in where you're trying to install your guidance package is Windows Vista?
