I have an application that won't install when used as part of a compressed package (either web or single) - it comes up with an error about temp\\mia3e3.tmp (random each time)\\data\\0\\[app name] not being able to be read - looking in that folder, there is nothing under the data folder but there is a folder called data export (which is the same name as the app being installed) with all the files under it...
How do I change it so that compressed installs work? Uncompressed layout works but is too big to feasibly ask clients to download each time...and it's just this one where I have the name as data export that is having problems...
Haven't had a need to look at the one that isn't working - but do have a 2nd install setup which is doing a similar thing - well, in my opinion worse as it isn't extracting any data at all and then falls over saying can't find [path]\\prereq.dfm.miaf
Could you please privately email me a complete project that reproduces this problem - please include all project and binary files - and I will try to track down what is causing this behavior, and post a resolution here.
I think I've fixed the issue - a couple of the 0 byte .miaf files had gone missing so when it came to installing they weren't included in the setup package...
If I still experience problems I'll mail you the project
I'm having a similiar problem. I'm using the latest Express InstallAware and have created an install with a single compressed .exe. When I try and run the install I get the error message:
Now, if I go look at this location, it doesn't exist. However the file it's looking for is at the path:
C:\\Documents and Settings\\wdevine\\Local Settings\\Temp\\mia25.tmp\\data\\WDEVINE\\MARSI\\DRGWindowsInstallationProject\\Release\\Single\\data\\OFFLINE\\IFAEEADSIOWDBNURDOENFRRAIEFFFF0
So for some reason, the installer is confused and isn't looking in the proper location. I'm not sure how to fix this.
I'll definitely give this a shot and let you know what happens. I'm in the process of reinstalling a development machine and still putting all my tools back on.
