Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How do you fix this error? (id is too long, 72 characters max) -=-=-=- <snip> error: The DirectoryRef/@Id of attributes value, 'Application.managementserver.plugins.authentication.native.client.symbo ls' is too long for an identifier, standard identifiers are 72 characters or less. <snip> <DirectoryRef Id="Application.ManagementServer.Plugins.Authentication.Native.Client.Sy mbols"> <snip> -=-=-=- The <DirectoryRef> in the above text-cut is 73 characters long, this is what needs to be changed down to 72 characters or less. Your <Directory> elsewhere in the code most likely needs to be changed too. Hope this helps, Patrick Paden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
