Summary: CA action failing but not reporting failure in wix 2
Initial Comment:
Hi Team,
Im having problems with installers adding an application pool and a virtual dir
in IIS 6.0. It sometimes goes wrong installing on our production machines, but
reports a successful installation. Simply uninstalling and installing again
resolves the issue.
I was not able to reproduce this on my development machine. I could however
recover a log from one of our productionmachines where it shows the failure.
Im guessing the item added to IIS is not important since its the
WriteMetabaseChanges function being troublesome.
Expected behaviour:
* WiX adds the apppool / vdir to IIS
* WiX performs a rollback if it cannot add the apppool / vdir
Actual behaviour
* WiX does not always add the apppool / vdir
* WiX does not perform a rollback if it cannot add the apppool / vdir
System: Windows 2003 Server
WiX version: 2.0.5805

Looking into the WriteMetabaseChanges function leads me to the following code:
hr = piMetabase->OpenKey(METADATA_MASTER_ROOT_HANDLE, L"/LM",
METADATA_PERMISSION_WRITE, 10, &mhKey);
for (i = 0; i < 30 && HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_PATH_BUSY) == hr; i++)
{
::Sleep(1000);
WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "failed to open '%S' key, retrying %d
time(s)...", pwzKey, i);
hr = piMetabase->OpenKey(METADATA_MASTER_ROOT_HANDLE, pwzKey,
METADATA_PERMISSION_WRITE, 10, &mhKey);
}
Im no C++ guru but I would expect this to try 30 times, but I do not see this
in my log. Also note that the arguments on the OpenKey function differ: L"/LM"
on the first statement and pwzKey on the last.
Can someone help me find a good fix?
Thanks,
Thomas
