Hi,
I have tried using all kinds of installers to build an msi after modifying
original msi file. All the installers do build the msi file but when the
application is launched it returns a side-by-side configuration error message.
When I build the msi without making any changes to the original files it works
without any issues. The conclusion is that the msi can be only built with the
original files intact and any alterations (especially in the .dll files) does
not work.
One particular msibuilder software from emcosoft does build the msi properly
and the altered file also is copied to the application folder. However, when
the shortcut icon is clicked, instead of launching the application, it runs an
installation again and the modified file is replaced with the original file
thus bringing the application back to its original state loosing all the
modification done.
I fail to understand the need of an msi builder if we cannot make the required
changes. The original msi file can be used without having to go through the
whole exercise. Could somebody please help me out with this?
Thanks and best regards.
Mohideen.
