If youre using Wix 3 or greater, try deleting the LongName attribute. -----Original Message----- From: Karthic Sampthkumar [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 20 September 2010 11:40 To: '[email protected]' Subject: [WiX-users] Reg: error CNDL0027
Hi, I am using the wix project to create a MSI. In the directory tag I use the following entry <Directory Id="Solutions" Name="Solutions" LongName="Solutions"> When I compile I get the following error ERROR :"<FileName>.wxs(1605) : error CNDL0027 : The Directory/@Name attribute's value, 'Solutions', is not a valid 8.3-compliant name. Legal names contain no more than 8 characters followed by an optional extension of no more than 3 characters. Any character except for the follow may be used: \ ? | > < : / * " + , ; = [ ] (space)." I changed the Name attribute to "Soluti~1" with LongName as it is..and compiled the project. While getting compiled, the Name attribute gets reverted to "Solutions" and still the same error is displayed. Can anyone help me to solve this error Thanks in advance Regards, Karthic.GS ________________________________ http://www.mindtree.com/email/disclaimer.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users </pre> <BR style="font-size:4px;"> <a href = "http://www.sdl.com";><img src="http://www.sdl.com/images/email logo_150dpi-01.png" alt="www.sdl.com" border="0"/></a> <BR> <font face="arial" size="2"><a href = "http://www.sdl.com"; style="color:005740; font-weight: bold">www.sdl.com</a></font> <BR> <BR> <font face="arial" size="1" color="#736F6E"> <b>SDL PLC confidential, all rights reserved.</b> If you are not the intended recipient of this mail SDL requests and requires that you delete it without acting upon or copying any of its contents, and we further request that you advise us.<BR> SDL PLC is a public limited company registered in England and Wales.
