Planning Your CA ARCserve Backup Installation › How the Installation Process Affects Operating Systems › Windows MSI Installer Package Custom Columns

Windows MSI Installer Package Custom Columns

The MSI installer for Windows lets applications add Custom Columns to the MSI Standard Tables. However, CA ARCserve Backup installer packages contain a Custom Column named "Assembly_" that is not included in the MSI Standard Table.

This behavior occurs because CA ARCserve Backup r15 was developed using InstallSheild 2008, which does not support adding the "Assembly_" table to the MSI Standard Tables.

The following list identifies the affected CA ARCserve Backup installer packages:

• AgentDeploy.msi
• ARCserve.msi
• BaofNtNw.msi
• BrightStorSAK.msi
• CADiag.msi
• CADS.msi
• CentralDashboard.msi
• DBAExch.msi
• DBAExch12.msi
• DBAIFX.msi
• DBANotes.msi
• DBASQL.msi
• DBASYB.msi
• EBSAgent.msi
