    Visual Studio Installer (MSI Packager)

    Hi All,

    I use this addon in the Visual Studio 6 Interdev package to package up my VB projects, I am getting emails back from clients saying they will be doing stuff in my program, whent hey'll get an error and the MSI will startup and try to re-install the program in an indefinate loop. If they CTRL-ALT-DELETE out of it and try and run the EXE, it again just starts the MSI Installer ??

    The latest email I have ahd is in the Install I create a sub folder from the Installation folder called Gallery, I put an image into this called notfound.jpg. The client said they went into my program, into the gallery section and removed this image via the program Delete button, and the program kicked out and the MSI started to re-install, now he can't run the EXE as it just keeps starting the MSI.

    I have tried thison two machines, work and home and cannot re-create it, however, I CAN RECREATE something similar by renaming the subfolder to say "Gallery2", then when I try to lauch the EXE it starts the MSI installing not the program.

    Can anybody point me in the write direction on how I switch this sort of checking off, when you lauch the EXE why is the MSI file executing and re-installing and not the program ?

    Many thanks
    Ken
