DEBUG: Error 2705: Invalid table: Directory; Could not be linked as tree.
We have an MSI we rebuild regularly just recently it has been failing with a 2705 error, but only in some situations.
If I run the msiexec /fv this seems to fix the problem. My question is why could this happen? Something to do with the uninstall?
I am about to get and run the msi through the orca tool. Will this type of problem appear if the install works most of the time.
Many thanks!

Sounds like an incorrect Directory table entry.
Post the exact error you get from the verbose log.

Yes this is what the error indicates, we have found a separate issue we think is causing this which is we are including two copies of the msi at different versions. Still investigating this. Thanks for your quick reply any help is very much appreciated!

The problem got worse it regularly failed with the 2705 error. I used Wise to debug the project WSI file and this does show an error in red. I then rebuilt the MSI with Wise and it is working no errors. I dont understand why :(
I routinely generate a new package code. I then set the Product Code and select no to not change the Upgrade Code.

Yes. Kim did, 12 days ago! :) You have a missing/incorrect entry in the 'Directory' table.

Well yes and no this error is evident only sometimes. I still don't understand why it works mainly but fails quite regularly recently. I am rebuilding the installer now and will report back.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
