ShellExecuteEx error 299 when launching installer created with Inno Setup

I use Inno Setup to create my first installer.
But when the installer is launched, before having the windows screen asking the permission to execute this file, I get a window with this error:

ShellExecuteEx a échoué : code 299
Seule une partie d'une requete ReadProcessMemory ou WriteProcessMemory a été effectuée.

English (from WinError.h):

ERROR_PARTIAL_COPY - Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.

And then the installer is launched. But, after about 10 sec, it launches again on its own.

Here is my iss file: 

; Script generated by the Inno Script Studio Wizard.
; SEE THE DOCUMENTATION FOR DETAILS ON CREATING INNO SETUP SCRIPT FILES!

#define MyAppName "Facturation"
#define MyAppVersion "1.0"
#define MyAppPublisher "JoWe"
#define MyAppURL "http://www.jowe.fr/"
#define MyAppExeName "facturation.exe"

I have this problem even when I create an new installer with the wizard. I have added a log to the Inno Studio, but it only have the log of the compilation, where there is no error.

Does anyone know where this problem comes from?

Can you reduce the script to a minimal example that still reproduces the problem? Also attach a log file (/log command-line switch). – Martin Prikryl
I have edited my question with a simpler example. I still have this problem (I have this problem even when I create an new installer with the wizard). – wyllyjon
Can you show us an English error message? (The actual English error message, not your translation of it). – Martin Prikryl
I work with inno Studio, so I found the log conf only in "setup option" which logs only compilation. And in the log, there is no error... I only have an error when launching the installer – wyllyjon
It seems that something went wrong with this line : SetupIconFile=D:\apps\vivemus\vivemus.com\resources\img\favicon.ico. Without this line, I don't have the error anymore... I don't kown why, because if I have a fully qualified pathname, and according to the documentation, it would have worked.... Any idea of the problem ? – wyllyjon

A co-worker ran into the same issue. It turned out that the Virus scan, Avast, was the cause. Disabling the virus scan, then installer ran without any issue.
