InstallShield Installer Question
I have an EXE from a vendor. This EXE is an InstallShield installer. When you double click on the EXE it will explode out all needed files to my %TEMP% folder. Once I have the exploded out files I of course see the Setup.exe and the rest of the source files. But, here is my issue. When I run the Setup.exe it starts up and runs fine until about half way through and then I am prompted to point the installer to data2.cab. There is no data2.cab file. When you look in %TEMP% at all of the exploded out files there is only 1 cab file called data1.cab.
Has anyone seen this type of behavior with an InstallShield installer before and if so what was the work around?
Thank you.

ok, first question, why are you using the files from %temp% if your just going to use setup.EXE, and its not an MSI ?
Why not just use the original setup.EXE ?
Im guessing data2.cab is embedded in the original setup.exe stub.

If you are trying to repackage this app. then you dont't need to extract the setup
Using AdminStudio - Repackaging Wizard can even read the installation for you and recreate the installation as a .ISM/.MSI
