Up to there no problem, the MSI validates and installs the product
fine.
If I try to set the value of the Attributes column to 2 (meaning
hidden) for some of the source files that I want to be hidden after
installation the MSI validates fine. But when I try to install the
product the installation fails because all the source file that have
the "2" in the Attributes column create an error message.
During the installation process, as the point where the MSI copies the
files (with the value 2 in the Attributes column) on the machine, a
dialog box appears and states:
"Error reading from file: C:\program
files\Product_Name\Program\XYZ.XYZ.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it."
I guess at the end of the installation I could run a custom action
invoking a bat file with:
attrib +H *.ext /S
Where .ext stands for the extension of the files I want to hide.
But before doing such thing, I would prefer use MSI functionalities.
How can I have source files located in CAB files and install them with
Hidden Atributes on the user machine?
Thanks in advance,
