Cannot run setup project on Windows XP
-
Hi. I have created a WindowsFormsApplication in Visual Studio Community 2015. For this application, I created a setup project using Visual Studio Installer Extension. Setup file works very fine on other systems, but on Windows XP it shows that error like I've been stopped the installation. More precisely:
Error : "The installer was interrupted before application could be installed. You need to restart installer to try again."
I have added all prerequisites, all files that are required, but I think that I missed something..It has anything to do with the fact that applications that were created in vs community 2015 which are deployed with vs installer extension cannot be installed on windows xp? I don't know if it's true, I read that somewhere..

And what version of .NET have you targeted? Later versions of .NET (4.5 on) don't run on Windows XP.

That depends on the edition of Windows XP. .NET 4.0 only works on XP Pro, XP x64 Pro and XP Home Edition. The Media Center editions and the Reduced Media editions are not supported. Also, you may have to update to a newer version of Windows Installer. The 4.5 version can be installed on XP SP2 and SP3.

You mean that I can't create applications with VS Community 2015 that work on Windows XP?

-
But I created an installation with InstallShield Limited Edition for the same project, and it worked perfectly..

I have already created an installation for the project using InstallShield Limited Edition and it worked perfectly on XP. I know, I used Windows Installer 4.5 version for this
Look in the Application event log and check for any errors in there.
