I should be able to get the fix into this week's build.
The workaround would be to edit the problematic File table keys in the
MSI so that they match the case of the filenames in the cabinet.

Do you have any idea when you might be able to fix this issue? If
priority is low, can you think of a possible workround? I don't really

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF - Using ExtractFiles Method
It's a bug in DTF -- ExtractFiles is being case-sensitive where it
shouldn't. A few of the files in Cabs.winrk.cab have different casing
than their File table keys in rktools.msi. The Windows Installer engine
handles that okay but DTF doesn't. Can you open a bug on SourceForge for
tracking?
However the problem with SQL Server 2005 client tools is different.
There, the Media.Cabinet value is "#Sql.cab". The number sign (#)
indicates the cabinet should be in an embedded stream in the MSI
package, but it is not actually there! Running msiexec /a on that
package confirms the problem as it gives error 2356. "Could not locate
cabinet in stream: Sql.cab." Maybe their bootstrapper does something to
fixup the MSI at install time?

Subject: [WiX-users] DTF - Using ExtractFiles Method
Hi,
I'm using the ExtractFiles Method to extract files from the Windows 2003
Resource kit msi (rktools.msi). Below is a simple snippet of code used :
InstallPackage MsiPackage = new InstallPackage(txtMsi.Text,
DatabaseOpenMode.ReadOnly); MsiPackage.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\temp";
Regex myReg = new Regex("exe", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); string[]
filekeys = MsiPackage.FindFiles(myReg);
MsiPackage.ExtractFiles(filekeys);
Some of the files fail to extract return the following
FileNotFoundException :
Could not find file 'c:\temp\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools\nlsinfo.exe'.
It's strange, because the file exists in the extracted cab file
(Cabs.winrk.cab), all the files extract correctly to c:\temp if I use
msiexec /a rktools.msi (but this gives me no control over the files I
extract). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? This problem
happens with a number of MSIs including sqlrun.msi of the SQL Server
2005 client tools.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Regards
Simon Powell
