[WiX-users] Error 0x80004005: Failed to extract all files from container in burn boostrapper

2012-07-27 Thread Barry Wark
I've built a boostrapper installer with Burn v3.6.3109. The installer fails with the following log. I find reference to a Burn bug in the list archives, but emails in early January 2012 suggested the bug was close to being fixed. Can anyone tell me the status of that issue (or if it's not relevant)

You might need MsiSetTargetPath, as a directory property is slightly different to a normal property. I'm not sure where you'd schedule it. MsiSetTargetPath(hInstall, "INSTALLDIR", szLocalPath); Assuming your directory layout looks something like this... Also, don't f
