Hi Anton,

If you had used tallow, it might have indiscriminately picked up some files which you might not have expected. Try performing an administrative install on a test machine and verify if the files that are included are really the ones that you need. If not, check the wxs files and fragments if something unwanted is imported.

You can perform an administrative install using the following command line.

msiexec /a <PathToMSI> TARGETDIR=<PathOfTheUncompressedImage> /qb

Regards,
Vagmi

There can be many reasons for that that we can't decide from here, not knowing your actual setup. But one usual problem is specifying your main executable (which might be quite large) for the icon file. This will mean storing it twice in the .msi, once for actual deployment and once more for just the icon. Make a small exe or dll that hardly contains anything but your icon resource and refer to it instead.


Bye,
