--- Comment #2 from Reinhold reinhold.hoffmann@hotmail.com --- I have changed the headline because it might be missleading. The bug report is about using installations files which are created with Visual Studio Installer.
We use Visual Studio 2010 installer where the reported error occurs. Microsoft's recent plans were to depreciate the Visual Studio installer after 2010.
However, their plans were revisited and the strategy was changed. As you see here (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/f1cc3f3e-c300-40a7-8797-c509f...) Microsoft relaunched the Visual Studion installer as an extension package to Visual Studio 2015 probably because it is widely used :-) and many customers complained about the end of life decision.
We recently had customers which did not followed the workaround advice and ran into this problem. It would be great if somebody may check the bug report that we can get conclusion if this bug is accepted or not.
If we need to provide more information, please let us know.
Thanks
Reinhold
