Coming back to this one just to see if there may be another reason for this issue. Again it does not prevent out apps from running at the end of the install, it is just an issue of seeing sxs errors in the Event Viewer.
I checked the app .exe manifest files and yes all the assemblies that are declared as dependencies are shown and yes they are all installed and required. So I do not think this is the issue, but maybe it is causes by the MsiPublishAssemblies and when this is triggered. Now this may be the main issue, our installs that show these sxs errors are mainly our Chained .msi installs. The parent .msi install actually does not trigger the MsiPublishAssemblies until all installs are complete, so all installer that contain assemblies do not actually get published until all the children installers are complete and the parent is finishing off. So in this case can anything be done to prevent these sxs errors? As is if any of our children .msi projects launch any apps we condition them NOT to be triggered if being ran in silent mode or from the Chain as again if the assemblies are not published then the apps will fail to run because the assemblies are not published yet and therefore we get sxs errors until the full install is complete. Then apps will then work. So just verifying that there is not much that we can do here with respect to shortcut creation from .exe files that have assembly dependencies? It would be nice if the shortcut creation did not actually have to touch the .exe file, just simply create the shortcut from a .ico file and path/file name..... -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Shortcut-creation-seems-to-cause-sxs-assembly-error-in-Event-Viewer-tp7589133p7597219.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?
