Installshield The specified File key not found in the File table

Question

I've packaged my WinForms app with the Visual Studio Installshield Limited Edition wizard.

When installing the app, I get this error during installation.

Error 2715. The specified File key ('myappname.xml_serializa') not found in the File table

Any ideas from anyone? I'm completely loss on this one.

Answer 1

In your installer project directory, open the *.isl file and search for the text in your error message, myappname.xml_serializa. It will most likely be in there quite a few times. Either remove it or correct all instances of it.
