Category: Tasks Group: 0.85 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Norman Harebottle (normanhare) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: MSI - Spaces In Path Cause cabarc problems Initial Comment: The conversion of the MSI task to use the local users temp folder settings cause invalid path information (with spaces) to be sent via command-line arguments to the cabarc exe tool. The solution to this problem is to pass a long-filename path to the cabarc tool using the short version of the file name. i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings should be passed to cabarc as C:\DOCUME~1 \User\LOCALS~1 . I have created a utility class that will convert a long path into a short version for use with the MSI task. Included with the utility class PathHelper is an NUnit test suite for exercising the PathHelper. Also, included in the patch archive is an updated version of the InstallerCreationCommand.cs file containing the changed code to utilize the PathHelper class. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Norman Harebottle (normanhare) Date: 2005-05-23 11:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=987088 The problem occurs when I use cabarc version 1.00.0601 (03/18/97). I suppose it is possible that I downloaded an outdated version of the cabarc tool. Basically, any MSI task will cause the problem. I even removed spaces from the path to the source files, but I still was getting an error about the "n" command not being recognized. I researched the bug in the e-mail list archives and did not find anything specific to this issue. I also tried the latest nightly build version of NAntContrib but that did not make a difference. The MSI task still got hung up on creating the cab file. My development environment: Windows XP Professional Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 .NET Framework 1.1 .NET Framework 2.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gert Driesen (drieseng) Date: 2005-05-23 04:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=707851 Can you send me a small repro for this bug ?
