What size is the MST file after saving in DevStudio?
Can you open the mst file in orca?

[Brentchan]

the file size grown from 4kb to abt 2000kb (the same size as the msi file) ,

yes , opened with ORCA , but what shoud i checked there ?

thanks

It appears that you somehow saved the changes in MST into the MSI, and kept MST extension. Your MST file is actually a MSI in disguise. I am not sure if you intended to do that...

[Brentchan]

no , my intention is purely on create a mst package , i follow the same way i create the mst package for my other application which i do not have such issue . and this only when i did some edit at the general info. area . :confused:

Please let me know what version of adminstudio you are using. This is a bug with the older versions and there is a work around.

[Brentchan]

i'm using adminstudio 5.5, is there any patches for this ?

thanks

[Paul_M_]

There is no explicit patch for this. This problem is resolved in 6.0 however I am trying to locate the file that fixes this in 5.5.

[Brentchan]

Hi Paul , is this type of fixes published at Installshield site ?

[Paul_M_]

I checked on this issue and there is no hotfix available for this. I apologize for this inconvienance. The only work around would be to upgrade to AS 6.

[Brentchan]

no problem ,anyway thanks for your help

[Brentchan]

Hi Paul , AS6 don't solve this problem also , already tried on that ......
