Hi,
maybe a bit late.. but better late then never ;-)
Got the issue when installing using reduced mode (msiexec /i
MySetup.msi /l*v MyLog.log /qr):
...
MSI (c) (74:0C) [07:19:07:760]: Doing action: WelcomeDlg
Action 7:19:07: WelcomeDlg.
Action start 7:19:07: WelcomeDlg.
DEBUG: Error 2726: Action not found: WelcomeDlg
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code
is 2726. The arguments are: WelcomeDlg, ,
Action ended 7:19:07: WelcomeDlg. Return value 0.
...
MSI (c) (74:0C) [07:19:20:198]: Doing action: ExitDialog
Action 7:19:20: ExitDialog.
Action start 7:19:20: ExitDialog.
DEBUG: Error 2726: Action not found: ExitDialog
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code
is 2726. The arguments are: ExitDialog, ,
Action ended 7:19:20: ExitDialog. Return value 0.
but not when installing the same package using normal UI (msiexec /i
MySetup.msi /l*v MyLogQR.log). For the product.wxs I just added
and one component to a blank default Visual Studiu Setup Project Template.
Then did the same for a InstallShield 2010 Basic MSI project ... et voila:
...
MSI (c) (5C:18) [07:23:28:802]: Doing action: InstallWelcome
Action 7:23:28: InstallWelcome.
Action start 7:23:28: InstallWelcome.
Info 2726.Action not found: InstallWelcome.
Action ended 7:23:28: InstallWelcome. Return value 0.
MSI (c) (5C:18) [07:23:37:506]: Doing action: SetupCompleteSuccess
Action 7:23:37: SetupCompleteSuccess.
Action start 7:23:37: SetupCompleteSuccess.
Info 2726.Action not found: SetupCompleteSuccess.
Action ended 7:23:37: SetupCompleteSuccess. Return value 0.
...
Got the same error but with other logging as Info text.
So I assume it's some strange behavior in that case as no other issues
were detected and the log seems normal for both installers
(InstallShield one and WiX one)
