SYMPTOMS
When you install a Setup application built with Visual Studio .NET that is configured with the Web Bootstrapper settings, you may receive the following error message:

An error occurred installing the package. Windows Installer returned '1619'.



CAUSE
The method that the Windows Installer uses to download the file to the client is prone to a bug that causes the error. The Windows Installer finds that the content expiration date has expired and the installer prevents the setup from continuing.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:   Disable Content Expiration.

Follow the steps that are appropriate for your environment.

Microsoft Windows XP
 On the Start menu, click Run, type INETMGR, and then click OK. Click to expand these nodes:  , Web Sites, and Default Web Site. Right-click the Virtual Directory that contains the setup package, and then click Properties. On the HTTP Headers tab, clear the Enable Content Expiration check box (the default value may have changed), and then click OK.

Microsoft Windows 2000
 On the Start menu, click Run, type INETMGR, and then click OK.</li> Click to expand these nodes:  , and Default Web Site.</li> Right-click the Virtual Directory that contains the setup package, and then click Properties.</li> On the HTTP Headers tab, clear the Enable Content Expiration check box (the default value may have changed), and then click OK.</li></ol> </li> Change the URL of the update.

After you update the Setup.exe file, do not replace the existing file with the new Setup.exe file. Instead, change the path of the new installation point by creating a subdirectory that identifies that release of the new installation, and then save the updated Setup.exe file in the subdirectory.NOTE: If an existing update contains the same URL as an earlier version, you can use the Windows Installer SDK tool, Msistuff.exe, to modify the URL and not rebuild the project. If the Setup project was signed, Msistuff.exe breaks the signing of the Setup.exe. You must use Signcode.exe to re-sign the package.</li></ol>
