LZMA Issue

[jasoncd]

Hi again! I found a several LZMA posts, but none seem to match my issue. Problem is that it just doesn't work for me. When running the install, it does just fine until it gets to a compressed file:

MSI (s) (D4:18) [14:32:54:780]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=DevExp~6.dll|DevExpress.XtraLayout.v8.3.dll,SourceCabKey=DevExpress.XtraLayout.v8.3.dll,DestName=DevExpress.XtraLayout.v8.3.dll,Attributes=16384,FileSize=652288,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,,,,,CheckCRC=0,Version=8.3.3.0,Language=0,InstallMode=58982400,,,,,,,)
MSI (s) (D4:18) [14:32:54:780]: File: C:\Program Files\FHWA\ProVAL 3.0\DevExpress.XtraLayout.v8.3.dll; To be installed; Won't patch; No existing file
MSI (s) (D4:18) [14:32:54:780]: Source for file 'DevExpress.XtraLayout.v8.3.dll' is compressed
InstallFiles: File: DevExpress.XtraLayout.v8.3.dll, Directory: C:\Program Files\FHWA\ProVAL 3.0\, Size: 652288
DEBUG: Error 2920: Source directory not specified for file DevExpress.XtraLayout.v8.3.dll.

In looking at the extracted files, the file sizes match the uncompressed sizes. The MSI attribute for this file is 16384, which I believe means it is compressed? I'm a little confused, too, as only about half of the files are compressed/have this attribute.

Any thoughts? It's not a big deal since I can just turn it off.

Hi,

I'm not sure why you are encountering this behavior. The error shown in the log seems to indicate a problem in the project file. Can you please send us the AIP you used to build the package to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it?

Cosmin

Sorry, I've been out sick. You can use the project I e-mailed you last week (for another issue).

Hi,

We investigated the AIP you sent last week and it seems to be valid. Also, we tested it by using dummy source files and the package was installed correctly. Can you reproduce this behavior on other machines? If so, can you please provide an URL from where we can download the package with the problem? You can send us an email to support at advancedinstaller dot com with the link. To your email please attach the project you used to build the package.

Regards,
Cosmin

So, I'm not having any problems at the moment. I originally had the debug and release builds in the same installation. I split them into two projects today, and the compression worked fine. Maybe it had something to do with being 'installed in the parent folder'. I will send you an email if I encounter the problem again. Thanks.

I am having the same issue again. It had been working fine but when I deleted some files and added new ones, I get this error for the new files. Was anything ever found?

[jasoncd]

I ran the MSI validation and it found ICE35 for each of the problem files:
File (name) is marked compressed, but does not have a CAB specified in the Media table entry for its sequence number.

I will keep looking but wanted to post that info.

Hi, I am having the same problem. I didn't see a resolution, so i will post my aip files and the verbose log file.

The installer runs; however, I get the issues about 'compressed file' (see attached log).

Thanks for the help

Note; i am not using compression in my installer

Hello,

The problem seems a little more complex. Please send us a package that accurately reproduces this behavior.
