No, there is no database involved in the installer. I get that the error isn't really about the Config.msi directory, but I don't know how to solve this.
As I said, my changes that caused this failure are trivial, a new directory and matching RemoveFolder entry, neither of which should cause this? // Sascha On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 7:28 AM, Carter Young <ecyo...@grandecom.net> wrote: > Message 1: > Error 2228 = Database: [2].
