Wrap the MSI in a self-extracting exe so that the MSI filename is not changed.
-----Original Message----- From: Mark Turek [mailto:turekm...@hotmail.com] Sent: 02 March 2011 15:58 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML too Subject: [WiX-users] Error 1316 and browser download If you download an msi file and choose to run the file (rather than save it), Internet Explorer will add a number to the filename in brackets (such as[1] or [2] etc...). Windows Installer saves this filename in the registry and expects the same filename if you run an upgrade/repair or uninstall. If the filename does not match, an Error 1316 will occur saying 'A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file ....' Is there any way I can override this behavior in WIX? I could go to the <HKCR\Installer\Products\<GUID>\SourceList>) and check the file name but I don't think every installation does that. What is the trick here? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
