Assembly information for msvcr80.dll?

Post by lahtinenk »

Hello,

I am getting this message:

Error during build: Unable to get assembly information for D:\share\X-Win32 2010\Data1.cab\ul_msvcr80.dll.98CB24AD_52FB_DB5F_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E\msvcr80.dll

I searched the forum and I found some other similar questions, but I did not find any solutions.

Could you verify which version of InstallAware being used (version/SP)?

Is your installer running in 64-bit mode?

What OS are you developing on? 64-bit?

Are you building from command line or through the IDE?

Would you attach the dll for us to look at?

This was my first try. I wanted to change a little a ready made msi package and I thought it is just a simple thing to start learning to use the program.

I have 9R2 build Moya.sp2.052710

??? perhaps not. How to change it?

Yes, it is Win7 64bit.

IDE

I hope I managed to add it!

The Assemblies section is intended for registering .NET dlls to the GAC.

Does your application require Visual C++ runtimes? If that's the case, then you should make the appropriate selection in the Application Runtimes section:

Hello I'm seeing the same message for mMSIExec.dll using IA 9 R2 "Error during build: Unable to get assembly information for G:\...\InstallAware\mMSIExec.dll". The dll is present in this folder and is dated 7-9-2010. The folder doesn't have any access restrictions. Since the DLL is a plug-in for the MSIShell I presume that IA takes care of including any Application Runtimes needed for this? The error message sounds like IA is complaining about the lack of DLL identification information in the DLL header?

Are you trying to install it using Install or Register Assembly? Those commands are reserved for .NET assemblies. You could use Install File...
