Unwanted files are being installed

Jump to solution

Hi all,

I'm dealing with a problem the past week and I'm about to give up.

We have an ism project that installs our Application Server. It seems that two folders are being copied to C root drive and I can't understand why. I've checked the msi folder and I can see those two folders also there but I don't have a clue how and why they got there. I don't see any reference in the ism project (no components or linked library) and the installation log doesn't help either.

Is there a way to know how and why folders\files are being added to the installation\msi folder? Any other way to add files besides the regular "add" and linked folders? I've thought maybe one of the dlls has some kind of dependencies that cause those folders and files to be copied but it seems weird to me that the extra folders are being copied to the root drive.

If more information is needed please let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

It seems the issue was with a Merge Module that for some reason got added due to dll dependence.
