Hi, I've run into a problem building an msi using nAnt. I hope you can give me some idea of what is wrong.
I am setting up my directory as seen in the build below. When I set the foldername for USR to something five characters long or less, I get an entry for it in the Defaultdir field of the directory table that looks like c:\usr12|usr12 msiexec does not like this and gives a 2714 error. If I set the foldername for USR to 6 or more characters, the Defaultdir field looks like usr123|usr123 Do you have any idea what might be causing this or how I could get around it? I have not been able to find any discussion of this issue on the web. Here is the entire build file. When I set USR to "usr123" it build and installs correctly. If I set USR to "usr12" it builds OK, but msiexec fails. <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="Scanner" xmlns="http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85/nant.xsd"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85/nant.xsd http://ilqhfaatc1ws628/nant.xsd";> <!-- Nant command line: c:\nant\nant -debug+ /f:"D:\LaptopServiceTools\ShortFilenameFailure.build.xml" -v+ create.msi --> <target name="create.msi"> <setenv> <!--Set path to CabArc.exe.--> <variable name="PATH" path="c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin\;%PATH%" /> </setenv> <msi sourcedir="c:\" output="c:\test.msi"> <properties> <property name="ProductName" value="nAntTest" /> <property name="ProductVersion" value="2.5.1.0002" /> <property name="Manufacturer" value="Test" /> <property name="ProductCode" value="{F86BC501-47EB-4A14-BB01-2CC2CB8D1232}"/> <property name="UpgradeCode" value="{B095E2D1-B9D1-412B-8B1D-A914E8876DD5}"/> <property name="TARGETDIR" value="c:\"/> </properties> <directories> <directory name="USR" foldername="usr12" root="TARGETDIR"> <directory name="DIAMONDROOT" foldername="diamond.root"> <directory name="BIN" foldername="bin"/> <directory name="CCFG" foldername="comcal_cfg"/> <directory name="CFG" foldername="cfg"> <directory name ="APPDEFAULTS" foldername="app-defaults"/> </directory> </directory> <directory name="SERVICEROOT" foldername="service.root"> <directory name="RELI" foldername="reli"/> </directory> <directory name="DIAMONDDATA" foldername="diamond.data"> <directory name="PHYSICSLOG" foldername="Physics_log"/> </directory> </directory> </directories> <components> <component name="DiamondRootBinFiles" id="{9904C798-B9F7-450D-902A-1C92D7008014}" attr="2" directory="BIN" feature="FilesFeature" keepsubdirs="true"> <key file="cmd.exe"/> <fileset basedir="c:\Windows\system32"> <include name="cmd.exe" /> </fileset> </component> </components> <features> <feature name="FilesFeature" title="Scanner" display="1" typical="true" directory="C__DRIVE"> <description>Log viewer support files Files</description> </feature> </features> </msi> </target> </project> Thanks for any help you can provide The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally protected under applicable law.
