Re: [WiX-users] Installation doesn't progress at all
Also could you please explain how to debug burn with wix pdbs(are you mentioning .pdb file) file ? or The question is not really a WiX question but a question of how to use the chosen debugger. I'm sure there are different approaches based on the documentation of the debugger tool which you intend to use (VS IDE, VS Remote Debugger, WinDbg, etc), and depending on which aspect of Burn that you want to debug (Detect behavior, install behavior, reboot cycling, etc). One approach when debugging on a development machine where VS2013 is installed is (which I only do for UX scenarios and not for an Install phase): 1) When using an installed WiX Toolset, download the related debug.zip package and extract it to some location, so that you have the tree of WiX PDBs and scr. 2) Open a VS solution which contains your mba project and the Bundle project (and possibly other MSI projects). 3) In VS Tools/Options/Debugging/Symbols add a path to each of the three WiX PDB folders, where there are pdb files, in the extracted tree. (I also have Microsoft Symbol Servers selected. You could add your own symbol server.) 4) In the Properties of your mba project, enable Debug, Trace, and deselect Optimize. In the Debug tab set the 'Start external program' to your bundle.exe (project output location) AND 'Enable native code debugging' (You may also need to go to VS Tools/Options/Debugging and make sure that various related options like 'Enable .NET Framework source stepping' is set to your desired choice.) And set your mba as the 'Start-Up' project in your solution tree. 5) Make changes, set break points, and build your mba. 6) Build your Bundle.exe, and hit F5 (if the mba is the Start-up project) or right-click to create a Debug Instance. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Installation-doesn-t-progress-at-all-tp7599147p7599488.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

We don't really have enough information to do anything... Since this problem is only happening intermittently, it's difficult to diagnose. Are you 100% certain you are calling plan?

Re: [WiX-users] Installation doesn't progress at all
Hi, Thanks for the reply, I've already called the Plan() state in DetectComplete() state, it is working fine. Plan state has been initiated in DetectComplete() state. But the problem here is, it is not always working fine, some times call to the Plan() state doesn't working at all and the installation never progresses. Should i call Plan() in some other state ? or is there any other possible ways to overcome this problem ?

[WiX-users] Installation doesn't progress at all
Hi, We are using managed bootstrapper application for our installation, at some times installation doesn't progress at all. While checking the installation log from %temp% folder, it seems that after DetectComplete() state nothing progresses. After DetectComplete(), there is plan, apply and execute states. Attached the log file here. While debugging, we can't look into the events to see what happening. After DetectBegin() and DetectComplete() no events were executed. Note : This type of installation failure not occurs all the time. At some time we have stuck into this. Really don't know why this type of problem is happening. Any ideas to resolve this issue ?
