#137 msi template entries causing garbled dialog title text
I'm a novice user. For a product, I am currently using nant-contrib to create an .msi . We noticed that we were seeing garbled text in the titles for the Repair [ProductName] and Remove [ProductName] dialogs.
Our digging revealed 2 potential leads:
1. The docs for Control Table (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368044%28VS.85%29.aspx) state something about there must be a trailing space in the Control Table's Text for the installer to correctly render the text, in certain circumstances.
2. This posting in nant-users has the same symptoms (but different diagnosis): http://www.mail-archive.com/nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06767.html
3. Using Orca, I edited the MSITaskTemplate.msi and ensured these entries' keys had trailing spaces: Control > VerifyRepairDlg > Title > Text ([DlgTitleFont]Repair [ProductName] ), and Control > VerifyRemoveDlg > Title > Text ([DlgTitleFont]Remove [ProductName] ). They didn't have a trailing space out of the box.
4. Rebuild, created installer. That fixed it!
So I just wanted to report what looks to me is a bug in nant-contrib's msi template database. Thanks.
