I get these errors when I try and repakage. Later on the whole thing bombs at fail.

I have this directory on my system where I am putting eveything except the path does not include the "[" part in the path. What am I miss configureing. Why are the "[" appearing in the path?

Donot know the exact cause of the issue. However as a workaround you can try the following:

1) Open the .inc\.ism file in Developer
2) From shortcuts view select the the shortcut in question and browse for the desired icon through the Property Box.

3) rebuild the setup and very the results.

Hope this may help.

I am stil having no luck with repackaging Adobe 6.0 I have include my build log so maybe one of you experst can give me a clue on what to do next.

AlaksSevugan · ‎Jul 02, 2003

From what I understand Adobe 6.0 is already an MSi package. It is not recommended to repackage an MSI package (Adobe will not support it in such instances).

If you need to customize the MSI, please use Developer or Tuner to create a transform.

First of all I see that your repackaged MSI has cached MSI installer .ico files. Your repackaged MSI should not contain any MSI entries. Hopefully your are not repackaging any existing MSI setup. Anyways, you should exclude those entries when building the MSI.

I don't have an adobe MSI package. All I was able to download was an AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe program that installs Adobe 6.

Well thanks to your comments. I know realize that the adobe installer exe realy is an MSI package in discuise. I was not clueing in to that.

What was the telling clue for you guys that it was trying to repackage and MSI? I am still learing my way around this software.

After a some digging I have found how you exctat the MSI from it. This should make life much nicer. Know I just have to build some new clean computers to work on.

How do you strip the MSI from a setup.exe? /a either just crashes or doesn't do anything but install the app on my box depending on the setup.exe I try it on.

turbokitty · ‎Jul 09, 2003

Once the setup.exe is done the extraction phase I get an error, so before I click on it, I did a search for one of the extracted files and found it under an obscure name in the temp directory. I copied the files from there.
Unfortunately, it's another setup.exe with subfolders for the INSTMSI files, the setup folder with a pile of msi and msp files and a cab file and a subfolder for the MSM files.
