Hi all. I have one very old installer file and 2 patches created with vb6 and InstallShield. My task is to form a single, shiny new installer, without using any of the original source code (which is AWOL).
I've started with a fresh XP virtual machine, using DefenseWall (a host intrusion protection system) I have identified the files that the original installer installed. A lot of it was put into the SystemFolder. I've copied it all into a subfolder in my project named SystemFolder, which itself is a child of assets. Then I've gone ahead and run `heat dir assets\SystemFolder -gg -sfrag -template fragment -svb6 -out vb6file.wxs`. I have tried copying and pasting all the components from vb6file.wxs between <Directory Id="SystemFolder"> </Directory>of an existing (an up until that point, functional project) but am receiving a few errors, that I've been unable to troubleshoot. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, what is the correct way to include the output file? Second, the errors begin with ... "The typelib element is non-advertised and therefor require a parent File element" ... which appears to originate with a component by the name of JSBtnBar.ocx. I also have 3 lots of ... "The TypeLib/@HelpDirectory attribute's value, '!filBFDE46EC343B0E499B5B2D6EA1A0CC52', is not a legal identifier. Identifiers may contain ASCII characters A-Z, a-z, digits, underscores (_), or periods (.). Every identifier must begin with either a letter or an underscore." ... with various differing value's. Also, throughout the file, there are many '!fil...' RegistryValue/@Value 's that aren't mentioned, that look a little "unwelcoming" to my untrained eye. Please cast your expert eyes over this and point me in the right direction (help!).
