Windows Installer error 2714
I am currently trying to repackage SAS 9.1.3 and keep getting a 2714 error. Everytime I delete the folder it is complaining about I get the same error with a different folder. Is there any way to fix this problem and what exactly does the 2714 errro mean?

This error normally occurs when the paths specified for your INSTALLDIR contain a forward slash ' / ' as opposed to a backslash ' \ ' under the General Information view within the project.
eg:
[Program Files]folder/subfolder
should become
[Program Files]folder\subfolder.
Hope this helps

Looks like you need a link to the Windows Installer Error Reference. Bookmarking is highly recommended.

Looks like the problem was with the directory table and wanting to include some characters that the MSI didn't like. Thanks for your help.
