I'm trying to create an MSI file from a Prism package. The Package Editor goes through the motions, but at the end I get an error that says "Error: M4087: Found variable 'Local Application Data': not supported by current version of MSI generator. Error: Conversion complete: errors found during translation."

I'm using Prism Deploy 8.

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks,
Dennis

Yes, this is a known issue. Prism's MSI conversion utility does not support many of the new "special folders" that were added to version 8 packages. We recommend that you use the Prism-created PWC to deploy the application. Alternately, if you're using the Prism Deployment Channel, you can deploy the native MSI command as a Command Task.
