InstallAnywhere issue: This application has unexpectely quit

Question

I have downloaded IBM Client SDK 4.10 FC5DE for Windows x64. When I proceed to install it, InstallAnyWhere popups saying "Preparing installation files...". When it reaches to 100% below error is shown and installation terminates:

This application has unexpectely quit:
Invocation of this Java application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit (LAX).

And If I click on details button its show stack trace:

ZeroGu6: Windows DLL failed to load

My OS is Windows 8.1 Pro and I have the last Java x86 and Java x86_64 installed on my system. Java x86_64 is the only activated in Java configuration panel. If I activated both, it does not work either. Leaving activating Java x86 it does not work either.

Below the Java packages installed on my system:

• Java 8 Update 151
• Java 8 Update 151 (64-bit)
• Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update 24

So any ideas on what is happening?

SOLVED: I have solved it.

In order to work you need to set Compatibility Mode to Windows 7 for setup ( executable file).

Right click on setup file, go to compatibility tab, and then set "Compatibility Mode" to "Windows 7". Also in configuration, you can check "Launch this program as Administrator".

Link where I found a similar problem: see this.

Answer 1

Change compatibility to windows 7

Check this (not the same product, but looks like the same error)

The installation can be finished successfully while setting the two files below to Windows 7 compatibility mode.

File 1: launchpad64.exe launchpad.exe, depending on which bit version you plan to install

File2: depending on the used launchpad version, 64 or 32 bit, go into a. win86_64 (If you are running launchpad64.exe) or b. win86_32 (If you are running launchpad.exe) folder.

If you Install as Administrator, change the compatibility of install.exe to Windows 7.

If you Install as Current User, change the compatibility of userinst.exe to Windows 7.

Launch the launchpad64.exe or launchpad.exe as Administrator
