I think I also ran into this when I first starting modifying msi files. The solution as I recall is to put the modified file in the same directory as the new msi and modify the msi so it knows that it is there -- there is no easy way to put it inside the modified msi with the tools you are using. I posted in the last week or so a link to a perl script I use to make modified msi files. It uses an open-source tool to pack and unpack the msi. The inability to put modified files into the new msi is one of the reasons I abandoned orca and went to the perl script. -- Joe Buehler _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
