External Files CRC mismatch

[commhorizons]

I am trying to create an installer with all the files on the External files tab as they are provided separately from the installer.

I checked the "Disable CRC" box for all the files, but during the install I am still getting the popup:
"File CRC mismatch - Data integrity error".

Isn't that what the Disable CRC checkbox is supposed to be for?

I am using SUF 9.2.

Thanks.

neil:
what does the install log show?
are you installing across a network share?

First I get the popup and then if I click Ignore it still does not install the file. The log does not contain much. Just:

Success Install external file: C:\Windows\SysWow64\nlemlog.dll
Error Install external file: C:\Windows\SysWow64\nlemlog.dll (0)

The installer itself ends with return code 5.

Incidentally, RuntimeFolder is set to %SourceFolder% and I am running the setup from that folder. The file it is trying to install is definitely there.

Just a guess:You can't install to the same file; you're opening a file for read; THEN opening it for WRITE -- so the write fails, because it can't get an exclusive write lock.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I wasn't clear. InstallTo is different from Run-Time Folder. As you can see from the log the destination is a different folder.

This appears to be a legitimate bug in SUF 9.2 unless I am misunderstanding the action of the checkbox: Disable CRC Check.

arey you running it across a network share?

Perhaps you could post a project file and two of the binaries you attempting to use on the External tab, so we could attempt to replicate the issue. In my tests, the setup I built performed correctly on every test, and I could replace the external file freely, as long as the name was kept as expected.

If you are using a network share as Josh mentioned, or perhaps you are building an ISO for use in a VM for testing, Windows may be caching the previous version. If you are using a VM, you may want to shut it down and restart before performing the next iteration.
