Hi Phil,
No, not all files the error occurs for are even executables or dlls, it
actually occurs for every component in the setup, for example, the help
file component:
<Component Id="Manual" Guid="MY_GUID">
<File Id="MyProg_chm" KeyPath="yes" Name="MyProg.chm" DiskId="1"
Source="../Data/MyProg.chm">
<Shortcut Id="startmenuManual" Directory="ProgramMenuDir"
Name="Help" LongName="Help Contents" />
</File>
</Component>
Receives the same error.
Any other ideas?
Andrew.
