Are you using Visual Studio Setup and Deployment or WIX to create the setup?

Visual Studio Setup and Deployment , i am working on VS 2010 , on C#

you can execute
msiexec /i "installer package name" /l*v "outputlogfile"

The above command will log all the verbose messages to a log file while the installation is in progress. It will help you in debugging what the issue is.

Sorry sir , I am not getting your point exactly, please explain neatly

what I am saying is, open the command prompt and execute the above command. upon executing a log file with all the verbose message will be generated.
For e.g. if the setup file name of your application is "MyApplication.msi" then you need to do like this
1. Windows key+R
2. Type cmd
3. Type msiexec.exe /i "MyApplication.msi" /l*v "outputlog.txt"

When the installation process is abrupted, open the above mentioned logfile in notepad or some text editor and go through each message. This can give you information about where and what is the error.

Also are you getting this error during the installation process or are you getting this error when you execute your application after the installation?
Hope I am clear.

Please help me some one

1) After deployment, you will have a File with .msi extension like .txt[TEXT FILE] (which is present in the deployed directory),
2) Copy the .msi and place in D:\ or C:\
3) then run command prompt and do the steps said by Kiran Susarla

E.g msiexec.exe /i " {path of the .msi file } /l*v "{file path to the log file}"
i.e msiexec.exe /i "D:\MyApplication.msi" /l*v "outputlog.txt" (if .msi is in D:\ directory)
or
i.e msiexec.exe /i "C:\MyApplication.msi" /l*v "outputlog.txt" (if .msi is in C:\ directory)
