Hi, please help us a little bit with an example file - an URL to it would be great. I do not have a an *.msi file handy right now and I am not sure if it will be better if you could share the file you re having problems with?
If you feel that is too much of information revealing to the public, you could send the URL to donwload the file(s) in question directly to my e-mail. Kind regards and if you do not respond earlier, have good start into 2021! - Michael > On 30.
