Launching MSI Files

[MohanMaganti]

I have a MSI file.
I am trying to find out if I can use MSI Factory to create menus with some options and launch a pre-existing MSI file. Basically what I want to do is simple, but MSI factory is making it really really difficult for me. Unless I am using the wrong product for the wrong thing.

I am having errors while building the project.

Link successful - 'C:\Documents and Settings\007\My Documents\MSI Factory\Output\MyThirdIRSpin\setup.msi' generated.
Error 5002: Validation Failed - 'setup.msi' was generated successfully but ICE validation errors occurred.
Deleting temporary files

Build FAILED! Error: 5002 - The setup (.msi) file was created but it did not pass ICE validation. See the individual ICE validation messages above for details.


All I did was

1) add an existing MSI project as a file. It fails with this

2) add internet explorer executable as a file. it fails with this too.

any ideas??

What ICE errors did you receive?

Also note that the build actually created the MSI file but it is warning about the validation errors. Have you tried running the compiled MSI?

That is the one I could find in log file.
