Dark Error 0143

[Mike Rerick]

Hi Everyone.

 

I was wondering if this dark.exe bug is going to be fixed some time soon. I
have a lot of old InstallShield installers that I need to de-compile.

 

A bug has been entered for this - 1976057. According to the latest bug entry
(2008-10-10), it is fixed in 4603. However, when I tried decompiling a MSI
file with version 3.0.4603.0, I still get the same error. See below

 

 

"C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.4603.0\dark" webserver.msi -o
WebServer.wxs -x files

Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Decompiler version 3.0.4603.0

webserver.msi

C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.4603.0\WixDirectXExtension.dll : error
DARK0143

 : A parsed tuple has more fields for table 'CustomAction' than are defined.
This

   is potentially because a standard table is being redefined as a custom
table.

 

 

I also tried using the -sct option to suppress the custom tables and got the
same error.

WebServer.wxs -x files -sct

Th

is is potentially because a standard table is being redefined as a custom

Thanks for any help.

Heath was arguing last night that he thought this was fixed and resolved the bug last night.  If you have a repro, please do reactivate the bug cause I wasn't aware of any specific fix so I was skeptical.  <smile/>
