[WiX-users] PowerShell error with make.bat: C/C++ Compiler Driver has stopped working
Hi wix-users, When trying to build the newer versions of WIX using make.bat. I get: checkRequiredArgs: [cl] Compiling 1 files to 'C:\Users\marcelku\Downloads\wix3-sources\build\obj\debug\x86\ambient'. BUILD FAILED - 6 non-fatal error(s), 3 warning(s) C:\Users\marcelku\Downloads\wix3-sources\global.include(223,10): External Program Failed: cl (return code was -1073741515) Total time: 12.4 seconds. While right during the [cl] action the compiler driver is crashing. It seems the PowerShell is the reason for this crash. With cmd everything works fine... Just in case someone runs into the same situation...

[WiX-users] DTF InstallerException Invalid handle
Hi, I have a problem with a CustomAction and DTF. In my CA, which runs as an deferred, commit CA, I try to open and query the MSI database with Database database = new Database(SomePath, DatabaseOpenMode.ReadOnly); The constructor returns no InstallerException, so I think everything works fine there. My problem is that the returned Database object has an Invalid handle, and therefore every operation with the database fails. Anyone experienced that and could explain me the issue? Quick note: The database I try to open is not the one from which the current installation runs from. Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: [WiX-users] CustomDlg in WixUI_mondo
Hi Bob, yes, this is just the %TEMP% environment variable destination. The subfolders were generated by WiX during the execution of light.exe. Nothing special so far, I just wanted to check, whether the CheckInvalidPath function is probably malfunctioning because of too long filenames, which was not the cause.

Re: [WiX-users] CustomDlg in WixUI_mondo
Hi Bob, That's exactly what I did! I added my custom dialog to the main (WixUI_Mondo) UI and copied all the dialog related .wxs files to the project. Candle works fine, but light shows the mentioned errors: * With Wix2925: LGHT0143: A parsed tuple has more fields for table 'WixFile' than are defined. This is potencially because a standard table is being redefined as a custom table... * With Wix3725: LGHT0001: Illegal characters in path Any guesses? Or probably a way to track down the issue a little bit more? I cannot even say which path is being passed to System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path) which causes the exception in Wix3725. The exact stack trace is the following: light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Illegal characters in path. Exception Type: System.ArgumentException Stack Trace: at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path) at System.IO.Path.IsPathRooted(String path) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.BinderExtension.ResolveFile(String source) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.ResolveFields(TableCollection tables, Hashtable cabinets, ArrayList delayedFields) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.BindDatabase(Output output, String databaseFile) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output, String file) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args) Binder temporary directory located at 'C:\SystemTemp\mfvev3qd'.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with localization of product name
Hi Abhradeep, I am using LocStudio 4.8, but can't you just simply localize the ProductName-Property in the Property table? This works for me. Just my 2 cent.
