Re: Exception when importing Visual Studio 2005 setup project.

Hi,

This behavior is caused by a bug in Advanced Installer which will be fixed in the next version. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Until then, the workaround is to use custom names for your custom actions. These custom names must respect the rules of the identifier data type (for example, it shouldn't contain spaces).

Regards,
