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.
could not create setup/add configuration archive

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....

I just realized the last rev. on this program was 3 years ago as well as I too have 14.2.21
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
. 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.

I get the same "ERROR: Could not create setup!" with InstallForge version 1.4.4.22.
I found the cause for me. In the "Build" window, the Setup File and Uninstaller Icon I had specified were pointing to directories that did not exist, as I had changed the top level folder structure since last time I ran InstallForge.
It was clearly a user error, but it would be nice if InstallForge had checked if the icon existed, and informed me of what the issue was.
