I am using msimerg.exe (2.0.2600.0) to merge msi files created using DEV9. The error I got is "Error 1627. Error Merging Database, Check _MergeErrors Table for Merge conflicts".
I checked the _MergeErrors table in base MSI file and found one entry against _validation table with 4 conflicts.
Any newer version of msimerg.exe for DEV9 msiis available. The same tool is working fine with the msi files created using DEV7.

Did you validate your MSM in DevStudio?

Hi
The validation logfile is attached.
The validation completed successfully with 0 failure(s), 4 error(s), 3 warning(s).
I guess the 4 errors I got is corresponding to 4 conflicts in _validation table.
Is it possible findout what is wrong from the validate.log file.


Thanks for your quick reponse

I am getting ICE44 on validation of this msm file. But there is no support document for this error number. Some of the dialogs refered as argument for some action in this msm file is not in the file but it is referrred in other project.
This is causing the problem. However merge is working fine with the previous versions

Looking at the validation logfile shows that you have ControlEvents in your MergeModule. ControlEvents are stored in the ControlEvent-table and are used together with Dialogs (Userinterface). Normally you don't have any userinterface definitions in a MergeModule - the userinterface aka dialogs are all defined in the the setup (msi) itself.

The ICE44s tell you exactly what's wrong:
You have three buttons (Cancel, Next, Back) on a dialog associated with one or two ControlEvents:
1) Cancel: SpawnDialog(CancelSetup);
Condition=1
2a) Next: NewDialog(ReadyToInstall);
Condition=ZSZINSTALLERTYPE="NeutronFoundation" Or ZSZINSTALLERTYPE="SW3"
2b) Next: NewDialog(OVRReadyToInstall);
Condition=ZSZINSTALLERTYPE="Reporter"
3) Back: NewDialog(DestinationFolder);
Condition=1
And these dialogs (CancelSetup, ReadyToInstall, OVRReadyToInstall, DestinationFolder) cannot be found in your MergeModule.

This was working with previous versions (IPWI 2.03). I am getting this after upgrading to DEV9. Is this a new validation added in DEV9?
