I rewrote my code to use the CabInfo class instead of the CabEngine class and it works now. I'm not sure what's different other then the resulting .CAB is 1KB smaller but MSI seems happy now.

So the source of my problem appears to be in using DTF to generate the CAB. I'm pretty sure that all of my other authoring and streaming is correct. ---------------------------------------- From: "Christopher Painter" <chr...@iswix.com> Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2012 10:25 PM To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Application to Add file to a built MSI using DTF I'm working on a C#/DTF application that can take a base MSI and among other things add files to it. I'm using the CabEngine class in DTF to create the ZIP and various SQL updates to generate rows into the FeatureComponents, Component, Directory, File and Media tables. I'm also updating the _Streams table to embed the CAB into the MSI. I'm getting the following error message when trying to install or admin install: Error 1334: The file 'file110' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'Data2.cab'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package. 'file110' is what I've set the primary key of the File table to and it's also the name of the file that I compressed into the cab. I can explore the cab using Windows Explorer and I can see the file. If I extract it and rename it to the correct filename ( FileName column ) then the file is the correct contents also. I'm going to keep digging into this but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I might be missing.
