Do you know what changes(if any) InstallShield made to your tool so that it would work with their project files? If I use this tool to convert the IS project file, it fails on the InstallShield table on one of the rows. The row contains a character, possibly a null, which causes the tool to fail.
Thanks,
Nick

No, they wouldn't do that. The problem is that their files now contain ASCII 0 (null) characters, and Microsoft's XML parser doesn't let me encode those...
The solution is to get rid of MS' XML parser (MSXML) and use another one (eg. Gnome's libxml). I'm very busy these days, but I'll do it in the next few months.
