Known Bugs in ISDev 8.01

Password Protection Inadvertently Turned On

Description:
When you build a release it may be password protected, although you didn't select this option. This seems to happen randomly, on InstallScript MSI projects only.
Workaround:
None.
Status:
InstallShield has confirmed that this is a problem that has been introduced with ISDev 8.01.
FIXED in ISDev 8.02
Created: 2003-04-03   InstallShield tracking number: 1-CYZF5

Password Protected Media Cannot be Installed

Description:
When running a password protected setup.exe, the OK button on the password dialog is always disabled, even if you entered the correct password. This problem affects both Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI projects.
Workaround:
Don't password protect your media. If you need a password protected setup, build an uncompressed release and use PackageForTheWeb to compress the setup files into a password protected exe.
Status:
InstallShield has confirmed that this is a problem that has been introduced with ISDev 8.01.
FIXED in ISDev 8.02

Cannot Open MSM Files

Description:
If you try to open a merge module MSM file in Developer you'll receive an error message "InstallShield Developer cannot open <path to msm file>. Please contact InstallShield technical support for more information." Note that this only applies if you try to open a MSM file for editing. You can add merge modules to your project without problems.
Workaround:
In the InstallShield IDE select Open from the File menu. In the Open dialog box change the "Open as" setting from "Auto" to "Wizard". On the first wizard page select "Convert MSI/MSM to an InstallShield Project".
If you need to edit the merge module in direct mode, use Orca instead of ISDev.
Status:
InstallShield has confirmed that this is a problem that has been introduced with ISDev 8.01.
FIXED in ISDev 8.02
Created: 2003-04-03   InstallShield tracking number: 1-D5U6H
