this might help

Thank you for the link.
Just a general question. c:\windows\winsxs folder is a hardlink to files on the system. and no files should be included in that directory in the package?

And is there a way to troubleshoot system errors:
c:\windows\system32\appwiz.cpl More data is available

System logs do not have much info. Msi logs would not help here....

Thank you.

It is a hard link but you can keep the files in package.

This link wil help to solve the above error

So...why not capture the actual package after you have installed GTK+? That way, its files won't be included in the package.

For deployment purposes, either deploy the run-time "as is" or capture that separately. It might be worth creating it as a merge module.

Coming to the error itself, as a sometime-developer, I've seen the "More data is available" many times. What's happening is that a process is trying to get, say, 32 bytes of data but only specified a buffer of, say, 8 bytes in which to hold it. In essence, one or more registry entries in the package is in error. As ever, ProcMon will enable you to pinpoint the entry in question.
