Windows Platform Installer fails during Orchard installation

I'm attempting to install Orchard 1.0 on a Windows 7 box. It has only just been released. I downloaded and installed the Windows Platform Installer and attempted to install Orchard. The error messag开发者_运维百科e is that the application has stopped working and asks if I want to debug or close the application.

The event log contains a single error:

The event logging service encountered an error while processing an incoming event published from Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing.

I tried installing MVC3 and it worked without any issues.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

I have exactly the same problem on a Windows 7 and a Windows Vista SP2 system. MVC3 installs without problems and works just fine. Orchard CMS crashes WPI.

Get the Orchard ZIP file from their site, extract it and open the solution in Visual Studio 2010 or WebMatrix or VS Express and try to run it. You can also run it directly from the folder you extracted it to by using IIS Express.

The installation through Web Platform Installer is broken and it won't work.

I believe I have located the answer on the Orchard CMS Discussion tab on Codeplex.

The installation script was missing a reference to a library. They have now rectified this and have advised that you need to delete the AppData folder.

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer

Once I did this the WPI orchard cms installation worked.
