Error -9028: MoveFile Table

Category

Description

Type:

Error

Message:

The conversion process does not support data in the MSI table 'MoveFile'.

Cause:

You encounter this error when the Windows Installer package that you are converting includes a MoveFile table. During the conversion process, the MoveFile table is not read.

Resolution:

This MoveFile table contains a list of files to be moved or copied from a specified source directory to a specified destination directory. Because this table is not read, you need to do one of the following to resolve this issue:

• Option 1: Edit the Windows Installer Package—Open the Windows Installer package in InstallShield and modify it to eliminate the use of the MoveFile table by installing additional files in the specified directories.
• Option 2: Repackage the Application—Use the Repackaging Wizard to repackage this application, and then build the Repackager project to generate a revised Windows Installer package.
• Option 3: Write a Pre-Launch Script—Write a pre-launch script that performs the file moving operations identified in the MoveFile table upon application launch.
