Problem when saving .MST

Hi,

I am pretty new in Advanced Installer so please don't judge me. ;)

I am trying to create a MST-file to use with a msi-file. So i right click on the msi and use "edit with Advanced installer".
What I am doing is changing the reboot behavior, Installation type and use Set-acl.exe to give all users full permissions to the install folder as a custom action. Then I save it as a mst-file. So far so good.

When I try to install this msi-package with the mst it fails. The error code is 2356 "Could'nt locate cabinet in stream: cab1.cab". When I look in the folder where the mst is saved, there is a folder named packagename.msi-cache. In that folder there is a cab-file that is pretty close the msi in size, with the install files within.

I can't figure out what the problem is. When I do the same modifications in Wise it works.

Thanks in advance!
Catalin
