#1279 Using ExtractFiles Method
I'm using the ExtractFiles Method to extract files from the Windows 2003 Resource kit msi (rktools.msi). Below is a simple snippet of code used :
InstallPackage MsiPackage = new InstallPackage(txtMsi.Text, DatabaseOpenMode.ReadOnly); MsiPackage.WorkingDirectory = "c:\temp"; Regex myReg = new Regex("exe", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); string[] filekeys = MsiPackage.FindFiles(myReg); MsiPackage.ExtractFiles(filekeys);
Some of the files fail to extract return the following FileNotFoundException :
Could not find file 'c:\temp\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\nlsinfo.exe'.
It's strange, because the file exists in the extracted cab file (Cabs.winrk.cab), all the files extract correctly to c:\temp if I use msiexec /a rktools.msi (but this gives me no control over the files I extract). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? This problem happens with a number of MSIs including sqlrun.msi of the SQL Server
2005 client tools.
According to Jason Ginchereau itt's a bug in DTF -- ExtractFiles is being case-sensitive where it shouldn't. A few of the files in Cabs.winrk.cab have different casing than their File table keys in rktools.msi. The Windows Installer engine handles that okay but DTF doesn't.
