[New-bugs-announce] [issue25144] 3.5 Win install fails with "TARGETDIR"

[Felipe]

New submission from Felipe:

The 3.5 Windows installer fails with "The TARGETDIR variable must be provided when invoking this installer"

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Initial screen:

   - uncheck the add path and all users options
   - select "Customize installation"

2. Optional features:

   - Check all boxes except "all users"

3. Advanced options

   - Uncheck all
   - Pick a different path to install to (clean folder)


4. A message box pops up saying "The TARGETDIR variable must be provided when invoking this installer" -- I hit OK.

5. Final screen showing 0x8007063 - Fatal error during installation


I've saved the log file and can upload if helpful, but will have to remove personal info first
