As always, you are correct :) And yes, when I remove that line, or add an After/Before, it works great... Too bad, I was hoping on using dark to avoid having to save the PDB of each released version... I don't wanna hard code removal of this line in my script... Got any ideas? And Thanks again!

I see, the other reason we don't compress into cab is time, since we compress everything into RARs for client delivery... so a cab will be redundant. But point taken, I won't let anyone change a thing :). To the main problem... I still can't seem to be able to run the Pyro command no matter wha

One more thing I remembered, in our MSIs we don't use CAB, we just create a folder next to the MSI, it's easier for us to replace/fix text/config files after a build was already create... Does this influence the patch.wxs? I see that there is a Media tag that points to a cab file... -Origin
