Re: [WiX-users] "Asia" error
Technically you can install .NET 4 on XP SP2 if you install MSI and WIC updates first (which we do), in this case the error code means you don't have the prerequisites... but I'm not sure if you would get the same error on SP1 to say that it's just plain not possible. -Original Message- From: Rob Diaz [mailto:rob.d...@msxgroup.com] Sent: Saturday, 15 June 2013 09:54 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] "Asia" error
5100 is "General setup block", commonly we see it for a missing prerequisite ( http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/11/28/return-codes-for-net-framework-3-0-setup.aspx ) The problem is that at some point it re-maps the exit code to a HRESULT, which gives a nonsensical error: http://imgur.com/L4UPcDO So my question is, why/how is the exit code being remapped? I first thought that maybe it was because I wasn't using the netfx4 protocol, but changing that had no effect. My package is as follows: It seems for the other values, they correctly map to HRESULTS that have strings of the same meaning. But wouldn't any program that uses custom exit codes mean that the error messages wouldn't match either? Is there any way I can specify the string for the error myself?

[WiX-users] "Asia" error
We are getting an error in some cases where we are installing .net 4, and the user is presented with the message "Asia". After some investigation it seems that the .net installer is returning exit code 5100, but it is somehow being interpreted as a HRESULT which happens to be the string "Asia". Has anyone seen this behaviour or have any idea why this is happening? -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
