Known issues
MSI Editor: Renaming the “Name” value of a Binary or Icon table entry may lead to losing the binary data in some cases. Please avoid such renaming, or export a binary data (using "Save to file" option) prior to renaming and then import it back afterwards.
MSI Editor: comparing two MSIs does not catch changes in the Binary table. If you need to compare binary data, please use "Save to file" option and then compare two files.
MSI Editor: Features tree on the Features/Components tab gets collapsed after removing or adding components.
MSI Editor: Undoing big amount of operations at once could be a reason of crash. Please save your work periodically.
