Nds-chen asked a question.
I have an ISM file originally created by IS v2022. In its Release Wizard settings, Media Type is Network Image and, Compression type is Custom with one cab per feature.
IS v2022 works well: many cab files are generated, with one cab for one feature and the cab file name reflects the feature name. The total size of all *.cab files is over 3 GB.
However, when I tried to build the same ISM file with IS v2025, the build failed!
The build log shows that IS v2025 did NOT generate 1 cab for 1 feature, instead, it generated 6 cab files (named data1.cab, data11.cab, ...data15.cab) as intermediate output, but finally it failed to generate the *.msi file and reported an error:
Check out the build output folder, there is no any *.cab file!
It seems like IS v2025 tried to put all those *.cab files into the *.msi file.
How can I resolve this issue and get my ISM file built successfully by IS v2025?
Problem solved.
It turns out that's because IS 2025 I was using was in evaluation mode. After I activated it, it works well.
