Problem making a package - 3.5 crashing

I am attempting to make a small package. I am having trouble with the package installing fonts.

I noticed that the package works, except a lot of the installed .ttf fonts are not in the package. Attempting to look at the files listed in the [Fonts] section, causes Developer to crash on me. I get the following error:


This is the full version of 3.5, not the demo.

I did mail this in to "exception@installshield.com", but I am hoping someone will be able to help me out, before next week.

Well, it appears as if AdminStudio 3.5 (Developer) is not catching the .TTL fonts being added to the system. I was able to partially get around this, by manually adding information to the *.inc file, before starting Developer. If I do NOT make a compressed build, I can see the fonts in the correct folder.

Now, my problem, is making a single compressed MSI. Each time Developer crashes with the following error:

Here is the section I manually modified. All of the entires with .TTF are manually entered. Spelling is correct, and file sizes are as XP reports them. Some of the files ARE quite large.

Any help is appreciated.
Looks like it was crashing, due to the file size for 3 files being mis typed.

So, I can make the package manually now.

Still, I am curious why Install Shield missed all of the .TTF files.
