Dear Team,
I have a problem with an MSI project. The thing is, three of my 82 files that I need for the installer are renamed during setup. The affected files receive a prefix “File.” This means that if the name of the source file is "Filename.dll", after installation via the MSI package it will be "File.Filename.dll". I haven't been able to figure out why this happens yet. Can someone please help me so that the file names are not changed?! Thank you and best regards, Thomas

Re: Unintentional file renaming when installing via MSI
Found it!
There are a few translations in the project. File and folder names have also been translated (which may be a default setting). The translations must be entered by hand, i.e. if a new file is added to the project, the translation must be carried out manually. Otherwise you will have the problem that I described above.
I have excluded the translation of file and folder names, which solved our problem.
