Can you please advise me how to add more than 50000 files in an MSI using Wise Package Studio 5.0. When I try to pull them all, Wise just gets stuck. Someone suggested chnaging the .idt file but I'm unable to find and edit it. Please advise.

I haven't tried this in Wise but if you add a large number of files in InstallShield it appears like it hangs. But it's not, you just have to wait long enough. This might be a case where dynmaic file links can help (if Wise has something similar).

This is probably done automatically by Installshield at this point, but also check this article from the MSI SDK: http://msdn2.microso...y/aa367767.aspx
