I am de-compiling a MSI generated with InstallShield 11.5.  I got an error
on table CustomAction. 

I also found this link to the same problem:

xpectedColumnCount-td17552116.html

 

When I look at the InstallShield MSI file with Orca, The CustomAction table
looks just fine.

 

 

I was using Wix 3.0.4214 and got the following error (and no .wxs file was
generated):

 

"C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.4214.0\dark" DB.msi DB.wxs -x db

Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Decompiler version 3.0.4214.0

DB.msi

C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.4214.0\WixDifxAppExtension.dll : error
DARK0143

 : A parsed tuple has more fields for table 'CustomAction' than are defined.
This

 is potentially because a standard table is being redefined as a custom
table.

I then tried with Wix 3.0.4014 and got the following (and a .wxs file was
generated):

 

"C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.4014.0\dark" DB.msi DB.wxs -x db
