Cannot open 3.7.1 MSI files in 3.8

[sbeckett]

When I try to open an installer file created in 3.7.1 I get an error window pop-up which says:

Window Title: Error

Window Body: Exception - Unexpected Exception


We are 5 days from launching our beta version, so I need to have this working immediately.

I know there is a 3.8.1 patch on the way, but I cannot wait. Is there some way to make the old AIP files work with 3.8 or am I stuck rebuilding them from scratch?

Actually, the AIP files are broken in both 3.7.1 and 3.8

I always get the "Exception - Unexpected Exception" error.

This is becoming a serious issue.

As I stated in my email to support, I do use the command line util to update the product version and product code during our automated nightly builds.

Perhaps when the builds ran last night they did something nasty to the product code?

Hi,

The problem is due to a bug that has been eradicated beginning with the 3.8 version of Advanced Installer.

If you experience a similar problem please send the AIP files to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can fix them.

All the best,
Ciprian
