What To Do When You Can’t Find a String

I am on a big installation project now for a client. It’s an InstallScript MSI project with a lot of script files.

There was a message that was being displayed in the installation, but for some reason I couldn’t find where it was being called in any of the scripts. So, I went to the string table, found the message and added a letter to the end of the ID. Then I rebuilt the installer and got an error on all the lines where it was referenced.

This might come in handy sometime for someone out there.
