Hello (most probably Cosmin )
I have the following issue with the current version of the Advanced Installer:
Trying to import Microsoft CRT v9.0 (or any other) merge modules and then saving it as Advanced Installer project file causes various kind of problems...
First and the most obvious: if you import and then save the project - you can't open it anymore (different errors may appear, most probably similar to this "row with id TARGET already exists")
The project structure looks more or less ok, but some pseudo directories are created that you cannot remove (stack error appears). Also an interesting point: why if a particular reference cannot be resolved or invalid in the file, the whole file cannot be opened at all and the new one is created instead???
The reason why I wanted to convert Microsoft MSM is to be able to modify its components. I have already seen the related topic in the forum where CRT MSM takes too long to uninstall and you want to mark its components as permanent. To do this ORCA tool was recommended to modify MSM, but I thought if Import functionality is already there why not converting it an Advanced installer Merge module?
I would appreciate if you could have a look at the issue...
Kind regards,
Alexei
