I should be able to get the fix into this week's build. The workaround would be to edit the problematic File table keys in the MSI so that they match the case of the filenames in the cabinet.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF - Using ExtractFiles Method Do you have any idea when you might be able to fix this issue? If priority is low, can you think of a possible workround? I don't really want to use an admin install.

Cc: Jones, Ben Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF - Using ExtractFiles Method It's a bug in DTF -- ExtractFiles is being case-sensitive where it shouldn't. A few of the files in Cabs.winrk.cab have different casing than their File table keys in rktools.msi. The Windows Installer engine handles that okay but DTF doesn't. Can you open a bug on SourceForge for tracking? However the problem with SQL Server 2005 client tools is different. There, the Media.Cabinet value is "#Sql.cab". The number sign (#) indicates the cabinet should be in an embedded stream in the MSI package, but it is not actually there! Running msiexec /a on that package confirms the problem as it gives error 2356. "Could not locate cabinet in stream: Sql.cab." Maybe their bootstrapper does something to fixup the MSI at install time? -Jason- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Powell, Simon Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 3:11 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Jones, Ben Subject: [WiX-users] DTF - Using ExtractFiles Method Hi, I'm using the ExtractFiles Method to extract files from the Windows 2003 Resource kit msi (rktools.msi). Below is a simple snippet of code used : InstallPackage MsiPackage = new InstallPackage(txtMsi.Text, DatabaseOpenMode.ReadOnly); MsiPackage.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\temp"; Regex myReg = new Regex("exe", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); string[] filekeys = MsiPackage.FindFiles(myReg); MsiPackage.ExtractFiles(filekeys); Some of the files fail to extract return the following FileNotFoundException : Could not find file 'c:\temp\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\nlsinfo.exe'. It's strange, because the file exists in the extracted cab file (Cabs.winrk.cab), all the files extract correctly to c:\temp if I use msiexec /a rktools.msi (but this gives me no control over the files I extract). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? This problem happens with a number of MSIs including sqlrun.msi of the SQL Server 2005 client tools. Your help will be much appreciated.
