When you say "v2.2 should be installed," you mean, v2.0 should be installed and then patched to v2.2, right? The second case (fresh v2.0 plus slipstreamed patch) appears to be hung inside MSI (or at least there's nothing in the MSI log to indicate progress). On the third case (major upgrade plus patch), I suspect it's failing because MSI doesn't support it. The logs look like MSI is trying to apply the patch to the v1.4 installed product instead of slipstreamed to the v2.0 product. It's not clear that MSI supports applying a major upgrade with a slipstreamed patch view applied. Please try the following on a machine with and without v1.4 installed and upload the logs. msiexec /l*vx! /i VESharedContent.msi ALLUSERS="1" MSIFASTINSTALL="7" PATCH="VESharedContent.msp" That's equivalent to what Burn is doing in both cases. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[WiX-users] "The localization variable is unknown" error when building a wixlib project in VS2010
We need to have two WIX installer projects, one for our server SW and the other for client SW. Since we are going to use some customized dialog in both projects, it is nature that we create a WIX library project and to define the customized dialog there, and make it a reference to both setup projects. Everything works fine except that I can't include the MsgString.xml file in this wixlib project. The MsgString.xml file, as you know, just defines some text in the UI, so they are also common for both installers. If we include the MsgString.xml in each wix setup project, it works fine. But obviously we need to include the files in two places, and the file will almost the same content, which is somehow redundant and hard to maintain. Can anybody tell me how to include the localization file into the wix library project?
