Hi
I have built an .msi file for an application as follows.
I used Repackager to build an .ism file that I then imported into InstallShield 2010 professional. I worked through the customisation in IS2010 and successfully built the MSI. However, when I ran the Full MSI Validation Suite I received (among others) messages such as the following
ICE03 - Invalid Filename; Table: File, Column:FileName, Key(s): _gitignore
When I looked at the relevant key in the DirectEditor I see that IS2010 is upset about a file from the package called .gitignore and I assume that it is the short filename that has upset it since Repackager has given it a SFN of .git (which is invalid as far as I know) as follows
.git|.gitignore
Now, I can make this ICE03 message disappear by changing the above to
git.git|.gitignore
but is this the way I should be dealing with this message or am I going to break something else further down the line. I'll never be deploying to a SFN system so I assume that I can just ignore these ICE03 messages but it would be nice to build an MSI that passes all ICE tests without complaint.
Any thoughts?
Best Wishes,
Mike
