Hi all,

I have added 2 dlls an one executable in my windows installer. I did that with the UI window installer using
the File system Editor. I would like to add these 3 files into the "Application folder" under "File system editor".

However I got the following message error :
The file '_3D14C...' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file '_ACFAC1C4...'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

I found on internet this message which suppose to help me find this issue.

They say that "Any new files in the upgrade package need to be added at the end of the file sequence.". But i dont know how to organize the file sequence from the file editor . When I add a file with the editor it automatically go into one place by alphabetical order and there is no way i can organize anything from this UI.

What could the fix for this issue ?

Thanks

Visual Studio setups handle all that for you. The installer guys are talking about patches and external cab files.

Are you building an install that has an MSI file *and* an external CAB file? If so, you may have a mismatch between what the MSI thinks is in the cab file and what is actually in the cab file.

Thanks for the answer.
There is no external Cab and MSI file in my installer. But I think the guilty is the dll itself. I took
a older version of this dll and i have no problem with my widnows installer.

However others installers don't have a problem because this is a dll used with another installer...
So I am still clueless.
