Bug: WMB with a '.' in its name, fails for a web installer

[JohnO]

I have now found the reason why my installer fails after downloading and extracting a 7zip Web Media Block. It is because the 'root' feature had a dot in its name, e.g "My App 2.2". When I opened the "My App 2.2.7zip" file, the top-level folder name was "my app 2".

It looks as though the IA internal code that creates the 7zip file, looks for the first ''." in the feature name when creating the 7zip file. In fact it should look for the last "." .

This fits what I saw in the installer dialog:
- 7zip file downloaded and expanded (with "my app 2" in the path)
- IA code looks for the files with "my app 2.2" in the path, and can't find anything.

Is there a more formal way for us to report what we are 99.9% sure is a bug?

Regards, John
BTW, I worked round this by dropping the '2.2' from the feature name.

Dear John,

... what you are reporting could be possible.

Anyway, if you release a very minimal project that demonstrate the issue I will give a look and then consequently, to notify our dev team about it.
