It sounds like Biztalk expects something that is non-standard in MSI files.

Cab files not getting embedded into MSI file Thankyou, but the MSIViewer is showing the Cab Files for the MSI file that is generated by the Biztalk export utility. Ok, here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to create an MSI file that need to be imported to Biztalk 06 app using the Biztalk import utility. When I try to import the file the MSI file that is generated ny wix, it throws an error on me saying "Failed to Extract CAB files from the MSI File" Please provide a valid Biztalk MSI File.(Microsoft.Biztalk.ApplicationDeployment.Engine) Additional Information "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object" (Microsoft.Biztalk.ApplicationDeployment.Engine) Its not allowing me to import the MSI file From: Neil Sleightholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2008-12-03 22:02 In my experience most tools (Orca, InstEd) don't show the CAB file when it is embedded.

Cab files not getting embedded into MSI file Thankyou for your reply Rob, I have been using a third party tool called MSIViewer If I take the msi file that is generated by biztalk, I can see the Cab files embedded in them. But If I take the MSI file that I generated using Wix, I cannot see the CAB files I have attached a screenshot of the MSIViewer that I am looking at. Thanks, -siri Re: [WiX-users] Urgent!! Cab files not getting embedded into MSI file From: Rob Mensching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2008-12-03 21:29 Never heard of anyone having a problem with that. How do you know that the cabinet was not embedded when you use EmbedCab="yes"? -----Original Message----- From: siri a [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 13:20 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WiX-users] Urgent!! Cab files not getting embedded into MSI file Hi there, I have been fighting a problem since two weeks. And now I need to get it resolved as soon as possible. Here is my code, even though I added the Media tag and Set Compressed = "yes" and the EmbedCab = "yes", the CAB file is not getting embedded into my MSI file. I am using msbuild script to build WXS file. If I say EmbedCab = 'no', the Cab files would get generated out of the MSI file. But, if I say 'yes', the MSI would not contain the CAB files. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Id="*" Name="Package Name" Language="1033" Version="2.0.0" Manufacturer="Deployment, Inc" UpgradeCode="1c3ad744-e169-49a6-aa9e-7db801ef5a43"> <Package Description="PkgGUID" Comments="comments" InstallerVersion="200" Languages="1033" Compressed="yes" Manufacturer="Deployment, Inc" /> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="CAB001.cab" EmbedCab="no"/> <!--Our Custom Install Directory --> <Property Id="DeploymentDIR">C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\</Property> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="."> <Directory Id="ProjectDIR" Name="complex.inbound.solution"> <Directory Id="ProjectDIRGuid" Name="69de2872-daa8-45ae-ba0d-e5f5426efe4a"> <!--Component Id="Comp1" Guid="dfc7f535-f521-4c06-8867-d898562c57f6" DiskId="1"> <File Id="complex.outbound.dll" Name="complex.outbound.dll" Source="C:\complex.outbound\bin\Deployment\complex.outbound.dll" DiskId="1" /> </Component--> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id="Feature1" Title="Feature1" Description="Package to be Deployed" Level="1"> <ComponentRef Id="Comp1" /> </Feature> </Product> </Wix> Can anyone give me any ideas on what the problem would be.....I am dying to hear something...
