The merge modules do not have the _Validation rows required for validation to succeed. You'll need to ensure the tables in the merge modules exist in your MSI file before the merging occurs. Add something like the following for each table reported below: Derek -Original Message- From:

App Paths works for Start->Run programs but not for command line programs. MSI doesn't add anything automatically - what exe would it choose? If you use App Paths, make sure your program name is unique. ( You wouldn't believe how often "setup.exe" in App Paths has usurped a bona fide setup.exe pr

Hi Roxana, just a quick note on the first case - it may be that your custom DLL is using some other DLL's which are available on the development machine, but not on the test machine. You could use Dependency Walker to find out. Best regards, Calin roxana wrote: > Hi list, > > I'm usi
