If you’ve uninstalled or installed some software recently (and perhaps you haven’t rebooted your PC in some time,) you may run into this issue! In short, if the PendingFileRenameOperations registry key contains more than 5000 bytes of data, you won’t be able to use MasterInstaller to download and install or update Crestron software. The installer has a bug with a buffer overrun on the stack which causes stack corruption, prompting the application to exit from a _fastfail() call. To save some time, you quickly open up MasterInstaller, select the items you want to install, hit “Next” a few times, accept the terms, then hit the “Download and Install” button only to have the program exit on you without warning. This information has been disclosed to Crestron in hopes that they would fix it at some point in the near future in much more detail.Ĭase scenario: You just get off a call with tech support after being instructed to update your software to the latest database version(s). We’ve known about a small bug in the MasterInstaller software for a few months now. Issues with software can be a time killer, and sometimes very distracting from the task at hand.
