No, I was referring to the second link that talked about exceeding the 
number of components per feature.

What do you mean by that? My install is compiled with WiX v3 and I hadn't
see any errors. Are you saying that my package was faulty? If so, what is
the fault exactly?

I found the reason of that problem by using RegMon where I saw the 1450 error
when opening a registry key. Then I found those following URLs which
perfectly match my problem:
- http://tinyurl.com/2rj93p
- http://tinyurl.com/3ey6fe

Getting rid of the `Components' subtree (there was only one child in it, the
offending key) made my installation works just fine.

WiX uppercases all GUIDs in the compiler. There is/was a weakness that 
if you use !(loc) strings for GUIDs, they wouldn't get that massaging, 
but in the "normal" case, you don't have to worry about it.

MSI "registers" each component it installs by recording which product(s) 
install it; that's all "register" means in this context. It sounds like 
MSI's private data store is corrupted somehow. Can you install any other 
packages on this machine?

Correct.  Windows Installer component GUIDs must be all upper case.

Unfortunate, but true.

GuidGen is unreliable for this.

Re: [WiX-users] Error 2908

2007-11-12 Thread Chad Petersen

Have you investigated what could possibly be wrong with the XP machine
that it fails on? If it works on two systems then I doubt that there is
anything wrong with the installer or it would consistently fail on all
machines you try it on. The installer is trying to register the
Component with the OS. This is not to say it is trying to REGSVR32.exe
or COM register the Component. It's just trying to update the Component
reference most likely, which is a write to the registry.

qt-mt338.dll is an orginary standard c++ DLL, it does not use COM or 
.NET, therefore should simply be copied into the application folder like

an ordinary file.

As stated before, the installer works with no errors on 2 Win XP

there is one of these errors for each component in the Wix source.

Hope that clarifies things.

Hi Phil,
Are you saying that lower case hex in the guids is not allowed? I 
generally use guids generated using the PlatformSDK GuidGen.exe utility, 
which produces guids with both uppercase and lowercase hex.

Re: [WiX-users] Error 2908

2007-11-12 Thread Chad Petersen

What really surprised me was the log snippets you included also used
{MY_GUID} and referred to it in the same way so it made it look like
that was how it was coded.

Have you tried your installer on more than one system to see if it is
consistent as far as the error goes? I see an article with this same
error (2908)when installing Office 2000 and it talks about scanning the
system registry for errors.

Hi Chad,
Sorry for the confusion, I edited that XML snippet and replaced the real

guid with MY_GUID, for easier reading. When the errors occur the Guids 
are all real Guids.

I am having trouble finding out what MS actually means by 'register 
component' in this context. If I read it out of context I would have 
thought of COM registration, but I guess the term 'register component' 
when used in MSI circles is a different process. MS help on

Aren't you supposed to put an actual GUID in where "MY_GUID" is in your

You might be conflicting with other installations of that Dll that are
using the official merge module VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm,
especially if you made up that component guid.  Are all the files that
have the issue redistributables from Microsoft ?

[WiX-users] Error 2908

2007-11-12 Thread Andrew Ward

Hello,

fails on a third computer with the following error for each wix 
component element:

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this 
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code 
is 2908. The arguments are: {MY_GUID}, ,
