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?
