The _Validation table doesn't have any real purpose in terms of declaring setup
logic. It would probably be better if Dark just ignored it since Candle/Light
will generate a new _Validation table based on the new generated schema. To
blame InstallShield seems suspicious to me.
Eitherway I've been down this road before.... blame InstallShield, perform
validation and then ultimatly be told that `you shouldn't be doing that
anyways` Hence why I don't use Dark.... I need tools that do what I need,
not the otherway around.

Many versions of InstallShield apparently write invalid _Validation
tables that cause problems with Dark. I'd suggest opening a copy of the
.msi in Orca, deleting the _Validation table, and trying again. If that
doesn't work, post the error you're getting.
