I would suggest using a know, and tested setup program:
Visual Installer from Microsoft (free):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/vsi11/download.aspx
Innosetup from JR Software (free):
http://www.jrsoftware.org/
If using Inno Setup check out ISTool at http://www.istool.org/
What is ISTool?
"ISTool helps you create scripts for Jordan Russell's Inno Setup compiler.
Inno Setup is a great compiler for very professional looking setups, and the
only disadvantage is that you have to create fairly complex scripts by
hand."
Give one of those a try and see what happens. If it still fails you are
going to have to give us more to go by: some code around the error, what
your application uses (API's, References, Controls)
