Hi All,

i want to add a file compressed in a cabinet to my installation by a transform.
What i do in the transform is:

1. Add the component and a feature.
2. make a file entry in the File Table.
3. adding the cabfile to the Binary Table.
4. add a Media Table entry with the Cabinet entry "#Binary.NameOfCabInTheBinaryTable"

When i load my MSI and the transform in Orca everything looks fine.
When i create a TransformedMSI with Orca, the installation works fine!
When i call msiexec with TRANSFORM=mytransform i get the internal error 2356.

log says:

Has anyone an idea why it fails?

Thanks in advance

What did you enter in the relevant columns for "Sequence", "LastSequence" and "DiskId"?

What does the name column of the binary table say for the relevant row?

LastSequence is the last depending Seqence number from my File Table.
DiskID the next free one.
DiskId is "#" for intern + "Tablename." (in my case I tried "Binary." and "Cabs.") + the value of the "Name" colum of the depending Binary
entry. for ex. "#Cabs.MyCab1.cab".

Thanks,

Elmar

Everything you've wriiten seems correct.

How many files are in your cab file?

What is/are the sequence number(s) in the file table?

What is the "lastsequence" of your media table entry?

What is the "lastsequence" of the previous media table entry?
