setupini.exe is currupting setup.exe file
I'm trying to change a Property value in setup.exe (Basic MSI) using internal_setupini.exe
The tool runs successfully but when I run the setup.exe I get "Error reading initialization file"
I tried changing the CmdLine in the startup section with PROP=VALUE and also tried adding a custom section but the result is always the same.
The debug log shows that the setup is looking for the ini in the local directory which is obviously wrong.
6-7-2009[02:48:21 PM]: InstallShield setup.exe (Unicode) started, cmdline: /debuglog"mylog.txt"
6-7-2009[02:48:21 PM]: Reading setup.ini from C:\Users\Public\StandardEdition\Setup.INI
6-7-2009[02:48:21 PM]: Failed to read setup package: PackageName name from Setup.ini
6-7-2009[02:48:21 PM]: Error reading setup initialization file
6-7-2009[02:48:23 PM]: Dumping setup.ini...
6-7-2009[02:48:23 PM]: Setup returning 1153
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using the most recent version from Q107253, or an older version?
