DLL errors

Hi there,
Are you still there?....:-)

I do expect that you solved your problem in the meantime, or at least I hope so, but it would help if you would describe the errors and when you are getting these errors. Without them it's very hard to give you solutions.

So please, when describing an issue, please describe it in detail, so other packagers can offer help quick.

Anyway, what I am suspecting is that you are trying to package a Vendor MSI. Don't do that, create a MST instead.

Find more info here on why not to repackage a MSI.

Dead issue?

All, this was posted back in April 2008 - over a year ago. I doubt it is still an issue, as no sane company would wait over a year for their packager to do his job.....
