Validation Errors

Sometimes when we do the package and check the MSI for any validaion error we get the red component. Say in my case I was getting the red component in lock permission table for directory component.

The component for which my entry was pointing can have valid entry of file, directory of registry - only there was no entry to select for create folder in drop-down box.

What I did is go to the validation table, then to lock permission entry in validation table. In that column section check for name table. In that row where we have lock permission entry and column name is a table - look for value set. There you will find three default entries: file, directory and registry. Include a semicolon after last entry and add create folder just save your msi and now check for red component you won't find it now.

In this way you can solve many validation errors.
