Software Deployment

Remove the WindowsVolume property entry from the Property table.
WindowsVolume is a system directory which will be populated from the Directory table. All directories are resolved to properties in the end.

Hi AngelD

I have the same ICE99 error but different folder name. Mine is x64. I dont know Rahulnijhawan able to solve his problem or not but I follow your instruction to get into the property table and I couldn't find the x64 property entry. I'm using WPS7.

Is there any other way to solve the ICE99?

Thanks

** After I post the reply, I reallised that the topic is related to window installer while mine is package developer. But the ICE error is the same, if you thought it's not right to post it in here, I will create a new topic :)

And here is my real error in wise:
The directory name: x64 is the same as one of the MSI Public Properties and can cause unforeseen sid effects. ice99.html Directory Directory x64 Evaluation: ICE99

So what happens if you click the validation entry? Doesn't get you to the "invalid" entry?

In WPS:
- Switch to the 'Setup Editor' view
- Select the 'Tables' tab
- Select the 'Directory' table
- Click the top of the column named 'Full Directory'. This switches to show the folders in alphabetical order.
- Scroll down to wherever the table shows 'C:\Windows' as the full directory names.
One of the properties you see will be the culprit.

However, as Kim says, double-clicking the row in the validation screen should take you there anyway.

Hi Kim

Yeah, if i double click on the, it takes me to the invalid entry which belong to the Directory Table. If I remove the row, I got an error when deploy it out. The funny things is if I leave it like that, I have no problem with installation. Uhmm, should I leave it or try other way to solve it? :)

Hi VBScab
I misunderstood. When I read Kim's first reply, I thought he ask me to remove that entry from the Property Table. That's why I cant find it under Property table. :)

Delete the offending Directory table row and then find entries which contained it in the Component table and change its folder name to 'WindowsFolder'

Open the MSI in ORCA and search for x64 to find out where else the directory/property conflicts.

Many thanks to VBScab and AngelD.

I removed the row which have the error. Then follow the step VBScab recommend to change the folder name to 'WindowsFolder' and it works.

Once again, Thanks.

As far as I know, 'WindowsFolder' doesn't represent the same value as 'WindowsVolume'.
'WindowsVolume' is the driveletter that contains the Windows installation (usually C:\)
'WindowsFolder' is the folder that Windows is installed into (Usually C:\Windows)

That's correct!

So if i want installation only in WindowsVolume(C:\) then what should I do??[8|]

what should I doFirst, get yourself on a Windows Installer course. Meanwhile, look up INSTALLDIR, TARGETDIR and ROOTDRIVE and how to use them on MSDN.
