Short Story
I am trying to change the properties on a dll file that is part of an msi install file I generated with repackager. If I change the version override it crashes with an access_violation when I hit the OK button. (details at end)
Long Story
I had captured an large install (SAP Front End installation actually). Today I received a new replacement dll (librfc32.dll) to fix a bug. So I went to the directory where I had stored the capture results from the original install, replaced the dll in the system subdirectory, and reran the build process in islc.
This generated a new msi file. When I ran the msi file to test it, this dll was not overwritten. When I checked the versions, it seems the newer file has an older version number. Hence I am trying to override the 'system version' to make it overwrite the file.
I copied the msi file to my main workstation from the test one where I captured the install. I ran Adminstudio and opened the IS editor. I opened the msi file and navigated down to the dll file, right clicked on it, changed the version number (it already had the 'overide' check box ticked) to a number greater than the 'older' file. As soon as I click the OK in the properties dialog, it crashes instantly. This is repeatable.
Am I doing something stupid or is this a bug?
It generated the following report for me to send in, but I don't know what email address to send it to. Does anyone know where?

I see no-one has replied, but I'd like to ask again. This is going to be quite awkward for me if there is no solution.

Please see my reply in this thread. It looks like the exact same issue.
