Source File Not Found xxxx

Thu Nov 03, 2022 11:29 am

I have built an installer in .exe format using the advanced installer. Sometimes when our customers execute the installer, the installer stops the installation and prompts the below error:

Source File Not Found: [somepath]\WebApiInstaller.cab.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.


Here is the screenshot of the error. Can somebody say what is wrong with my installer?

Hello,

There are two scenarios in which this might happen:

1. Source file not found error

2. the extraction path of your CAB file might exceed the 260 characters limit imposed by Windows, resulting in this error.

Hope this helps!
