Hello,

this issue happens due to the rcedit tool from the GitHub developers which InstallForge is using to update the setup executable resources (version information, icon, manifest). We are looking for a solution.

Any further report is much appreciated.

So since it has been 3 years since this post was addressed I can reasonably assume that InstallForge is no longer supported?

I have the exact same problem - identical. Compat mode 8, no go. Different compressions, no go. Weak, normal, max - no go.

It looks like this is the dead end problem with IF.

Would have gladly offered a payment for an easy to use installer....

Hello Blitzburgh,

indeed, InstallForge is still supported even though the release frequency has decreased. I will take a detailed look at the problem.

I had the same error, and mine was caused by something the IF devs can fix easily.

I got such cryptic "ERROR: ..." who knows why. So I reviewed the choices I made in all pages and nothing... until added the following to the name of my Setup File: ".exe" (it was just "helloworldInstall"). So, once it became "helloworldInstall.exe" the error has gone. The next step was finding where the installer has put it :lol: . I was expecting it to ask me where I wanted to save it, but I've found it just saved it near the InstallForge app.

So a quick fix for such problem would be the installer not accepting files without "\" (needs some path chosen) and without ".exe" at the end.
