WinINSTALL LE Convert Error


Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a *.MSI file for winzip, i am using WinINSTALL LE to create it.

I have followed Microsofts instructions, step by step in how to create the *.MSI file, but time and time again i get a error!

the error:

Error: source files must begin with @SourceDir: DesktopFolder\Program Files\WinZip\EXAMPLE.ZIP

i have tried almost every combo to create this MSI file. I dont want some to send me the MSI file for WinZip 8.0, i want to resolove this problem, and know why its happening.

And yes the system is a clean Windows 2000 Pro system.

Thanks.

I've justed started using the disco32.exe program in WinINSTALL LE 2003 and got this error. I didnt change the destination folder the 2nd time and no error. Whether this was the thing that fixed the error i dont know as the final msi didnt work anyhow!

Lots of good posts in the forum and found a few with this error.

happy hunting

EDIT:

Just made an msi from Zone Alarm pro and it worked perfectly, including serial no. and personal settings, in VMware following Microsofts instructions :)
