I'm trying to package a new MSI based on previous installation. In the registry tree, there are some dlls that are generating errors in the Adv Inst when I try to compile the MSI
DEBUG: Error 2716: Couldn't create a random subcomponent name for component 'CommonFilesFolder_Business_Objects_3.0_bin_p3dbtcht.dll'.
MSI (c) (F0:F4): Font created. Charset: Req=0, Ret=0, Font: Req=MS Shell Dlg, Ret=MS Shell Dlg
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2716. The arguments are: CommonFilesFolder_Business_Objects_3.0_bin_p3dbtcht.dll, ,
MSI (s) (94:E4): Product: Crystal11_Redistributables -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2716. The arguments are: CommonFilesFolder_Business_Objects
_3.0_bin_p3dbtcht.dll, ,
I googled the error, this is what the MSDN says:
2716 Could not create a random subcomponent name for component '[2]'. May occur if the first 40 characters of two or more component names are identical. Ensure that the first 40 characters of component names are unique to the component.
I tried changing the dll name and played around with changing its properties, but the error still comes up. I need those dlls in order for the MSI to work properly.
