    .msi profanity

    A couple of days ago I sent my Installer.msi installation file to a colleague via Email. This was blocked by our screening software because the msi binary contained a certain four letter word beginning with the letter 'f'. (Note that I didn't use this word in my code - it just appears in the msi when viewed with Notepad because that is how the binary code is represented.)

    I'm mainly posting this so you can all laugh at my embarassment and not get caught out by the same thing yourself. However, does anybody have any ideas about how I could maybe disassemble the msi and find out which part of it is being decoded as the offending word? If so I'd like to make some transparent or trivial changes that would clean it up.
    This world is not my home. I'm just passing through.

    If you are using VS.NET Setup & Deployment proj then you can try others like Wise or InstalSheild or Inno .
