I need to determine if a feature from SQL Server has been installed (SMO) in my MSI. This feature can be installed via the core SQL Server package or via standalone redist MSIs. I know I need only a few DLLs installed by this feature's component into the GAC. Is the recommended way to dete

[WiX-users] Light error LGHT0217 occuring often on Win2k8

2008-11-20 Thread Kevin Fischer
I saw a thread on this the other week, but there didn't appear to be a conclusion/resolution. We're using a recent WIX build and regularly see LGHT0217 with various ICE errors on Win2008. It's gotten so problematic we had to temporarily disable ICE validation. Is there a bug tracking this?
