Installaware 9 to 18

Post by CaptFishy »

Hello Support,

We have a number of working projects within InstallAware Studio 9 R2 that will not build correctly with InstallAware Studio Admin 18. When we attempt the build, we are prompted with this error:

Error during build: Unable to compile MSI action install assembly

We have tracked the issue down to the following code within our MSI, as if its commented out, the build is successfully.

Install Assembly <<path>>\Interop.WindowsInstaller.dll to $TARGETDIR$
Install Assembly <<path>>\Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Updater.ActivationProcessors.dll to $TARGETDIR$
Install Assembly <<path>>\Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Updater.dll to $TARGETDIR$
Install Assembly <<path>>\Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Updater.Downloaders.dll to $TARGETDIR$
Install Assembly <<path>>\Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll to $TARGETDIR$
Install Assembly <<path>>\Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.dll to $TARGETDIR$
Install Assembly <<path>>\Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.Cryptography.dll to $TARGETDIR$

The question is, why does this work in InstallAware Studio 9 R2 and not in InstallAware Studio Admin 18. I need to get this working, as these DLL's are important to our software. Once its working correctly, I can then sign off our software upgrade from Studio 9 R2 to Studio Admin 18.

Thanks,
Paul
