getting file not found in cab file msg?

[terry kernan]

Are you getting messages like this:

Code: Select all

"The file '<filename>' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file '<appname>.cab'.  This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."

This happened to me recently, can't figure out why, but it turns out my aip file got corrupted somehow and an entry needed some manual modification.

every aip file (that has files) has a section called:

Code: Select all

<COMPONENT cid="caphyon.advinst.msicomp.MsiFilesComponent">

with each file in your package detailed as a ROW xml node. Each row has a sequence number, these numbers must be consecutive (1, 2, 3, 4, etc), but they can appear in any order (4, 1, 3, 2, etc).

I had emailed support and they were great in getting back to me, fast and efficient as always.
