Directories missing from msi
I'm new to admin studio and i'm trying to use repackager and snapshot to repackage lecacy apps as msi's

 

my app contains directoies with the same name but in different paths within in.

 

i.e

 

c:\program files\abc\3d

 

and

 

c:\program files\xyz\3d

 

and

 

c:\program files\temp\3d

 

when i use repackager the directory structure is shown correct in the .inc file

 

however when i build the app to an msi and edit the msi the paths are not maintained only the last 3d directory (or any other directory with the same name) is maintained and all files from all 3d directories are copied to the last occrance of 3d. hence in the wrong place.

 

How do i over come this as i assume its something i am doing and not a feature!

 

When i run the msi on a clean machine the correct path do not install as the origional only whats shown in the built msi

 

 

Thanks

  • I have tried auto updates and it says i'm upto date. Is the auto update working??

     

    i manually downloaded the patch and ran it. i will now try and build the msi again.

     

    however i have not recieved any ic30 errors that the patch suggests

  • David,

     

    Thanks the patch sorted out the problem. I'm curious as to why the update option did not find any updates required when the patch was clearly missing??
