Re: Version 6.x install issue - Runtime Error at 90:902 Unknown property

@IT_Trev: Thanks. The error comes from a check for MSI installation. I believe you had some broken MSI installation before. Installing/uninstalling the MSI cleared that problem probably.

Re: Version 6.x install issue - Runtime Error at 90:902 Unknown property

I should have given you more details.
To continue from my previous comment:

  • I uninstalled the MSI version with no issues.

    • (It was installed by mistake and it took me a bit to realize I had installed the MSI version. Once I realized I couldn't use the MSI without other work, I decided I would just use the exe install version).

  • I installed the exe version with no issues.


After all that, and after posting here, I tried to reproduce the problem, but I could not.

  • I uninstalled the .exe version of 6.3.3.
  • I installed the .exe version of 5.21.1.
  • I installed the .exe version of 6.3.3 directly, while 5.21.1 was installed.

    • previously, this is where I got the error 90:902
    • this time I got no errors

  • I uninstalled 6.3.3, installed 5.21.1, and installed 6.3.3 on top of 5.21.1 - again I had no issues.
  • note - I kept my sessions in the hkcu registry and they worked without issue.

I don't know what the problem was. There was clearly something in my install of 5.21.1 that version 6.3.3 didn't like and couldn't upgrade. After uninstalling it though, 6.3.3 was able to install. But, after removing 6.3.3 and installing 5.21.1, installing 6.3.3 on top of 5.21.1 worked without issue.

Maybe there's something that gets set in the registry or somewhere else during normal use, and uninstalling the app cleared it.

Re: Version 6.x install issue - Runtime Error at 90:902 Unknown property

@IT_Trev: Thanks. If you uninstall the MSI now (you won't lose your data, though if you want to be sure, you can do backup), would the exe installer start working?
If it won't, can you please try running these PowerShell commands and post their output? 
$UpgradeCode = '{029F9450-CFEF-4408-A2BB-B69ECE29EB18}'
$ProductGUIDs = @(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Property | Where-Object {$_.Property -eq 'UpgradeCode' -and $_.value -eq $UpgradeCode}).ProductCode
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$ProductGUIDs -Contains $_.IdentifyingNumber}

(based on Finding product version using upgrade code using PowerShell)

Re: Version 6.x install issue - Runtime Error at 90:902 Unknown property


  • I had the exe install version of WinSCP 5.21.1 installed
  • I tried to install the MSI version of 6.3.3 (I got the error saying I had to uninstall the exe install version before I could install the MSI version)
  • I tried to install the exe install version of 6.3.3. This is when I got the error 90:902 unknown property.
  • then I uninstalled 5.21.1 manually.
  • then I installed the MSI version of 6.3.3 successfully with no issues

Re: Version 6.x install issue - Runtime Error at 90:902 Unknown property

@IT_Trev: Thanks for your report. I got lost though. What was the exact order of the installations/unintallations?

  • You had WinSCP 5 Inno Setup installation.
  • You tried WinSCP 6 MSI installations (which didn't go through)

And then?

Re: Version 6.x install issue - Runtime Error at 90:902 Unknown property

I had the same issue.
@OvertDepth Thank you!

Uninstalling the version 5.21.1 that I had fixed the issue.

I'm assuming there's some incompaitiblity with removing version 5.

I had tried to use the MSI first, but it told me I had a local installed version (the inno installer version) and I had to remove it manually before I could use the MSI version
So, I tried to install with the 6.3.3 inno installer (.exe installer) and got the error. Here's the lines from the log

After I uninstalled the old version manually, I was able to install the new version.

2024-04-26 20:28:18.297 InitializeSetup raised an exception (fatal).
2024-04-26 20:28:18.298 Exception message:

I was able to replicate this issue with both an MSI and EXE file. When I did the fresh install I did it with the MSI with out issue.

Re: Version 6.x install issue - Runtime Error at 90:902 Unknown property

The only workaround I have found was to Uninstall WinSCP and run the new installer.
