Hi John,
Thanks for the clarifications. I have come in in the morning and tried
to follow the steps as u have suggested. Attaching my two source files
for your reference.
Below is what i have tried to do today:
* I have created the file trunkdb.wxs using the following command:heat
dir "D:\Project\ESI\Code\trunk\
db" -gg -sfrag -dr TORTDEMO -out trunkdb.wxs.
So the file generated looks like the below snippet: <Wix
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="TORTDEMO">
<Directory Id="dir653F7E432DCA0892A253D0CEC7775D03"
Name="db">
<Component Id="cmp159DEBB341761ACFD08D530D4AB638B2"
Guid="{F89E44FD-879E-4076-B1A9-4CC2DFDB9DF4}">
<File Id="fil13F4C3BF2526AB7CCACA852D90DAA880"
KeyPath="yes" Source="SourceDir\alarm.db" />
</Component>
<Component Id="cmpB5B2B206AA7A6A0007EEC8D894834050"
Guid="{88DECB74-680F-4075-B764-4AE663664829}">
<File Id="fil34C37BE68FA25CF6AE6B3151F5727B4B"
KeyPath="yes" Source="SourceDir\batch.db" />
</Component>.
.....
.....
.....
.
.
.
So here i have generated the DirectoryRef Id as suggested by you. Now in
the TortEngineDemo.wxs i am trying to refer it as below :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'>

</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>

<ComponentRef Id='TORTDEMO' />
<ComponentRef Id='cmp159DEBB341761ACFD08D530D4AB638B2'/>
</Feature>
</Product>
<!--<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="dir69CDC966F9D8B6EA694F96E169B0FBFF">
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>-->
</Wix>
I have executed the candle as below:
/candle TortEngineDemo.wxs trunkdb.wxs/ -- this generates the WIXOBJ
files. Then i execute /light -out TrunkDBDemo.msi TortEngineDemo.wixobj
trunkdb.wixobj/. On this i am again getting multiple errors : C:\Program
Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\trunkdb.wxs(1119) : error LGHT0267 :
Found orphaned Component 'cmp5FAA008684E68756F59591139AA72C60'. If
this is a P
roduct, every Component must have at least one parent Feature. To
include a Com
ponent in a Module, you must include it directly as a Component element
of the M
odule element or indirectly via ComponentRef, ComponentGroup, or
ComponentGroupR
ef elements.
I am sure i am not referring the fragment the right way. Please suggest
how i need to refer to the fragment from my installer. I am really stuck
and any help would be much appreciable. Let me know if you are on Skype,
that would be helpful.

I think you're getting confused between two separate issues. If you're
getting the ICE error, then that would stop the build from successfully
completing. You may be using an out of date version of your installer.
Because of that, I would suggest that you do the following
1. Resolve the ICE issue. You suppress it so that it doesn't get run, but
the better thing to do is usually to solve the error. In this case, that
means add a registry entry to the component and mark it as KeyPath=yes.
2. Determine whether your directory structure is getting added to your
install. You can do this in a number of ways - using Orca.exe or performing
an admin install are two of them. Based on your question, I can't see a
reference to anything in the Fragment which contains the harvested
directory structure, so I suspect that you need to add a reference to
something in there.
For example:
<Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'>
<ComponentRef Id='TORTDEMO' />
<ComponentRef Id='cmpCB46AAB9A4F3EB62F8247A194B4BBB4B' />
</Feature>
Once you've dealt with those issues, you may see WiX complain about other
issues - for starters, your root DirectoryRef entry in that structure is
missing an ID, so the structure won't have a valid parent which means MSI
won't know where to put it.
My advice would be to concentrate on getting a successful compilation, then
work from there. Keep compiling regularly as you work. If you see a
compilation failure, stop and deal with it. This makes it much easier to
deal with issues as you discover them.
Hope that helps

I have two burn bundles (with different UpgradeCodes)
that contain the same MsiPackage, but with different versions (different
ProductCode).
When I install the first burn bundle all is working fine,
but when installing the second bundle nothing is happening (the
MsiPackage
is not installed).
Is there a way to force burn to update an existing MsiPackage?
