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

This was a bug in a previous versoin of the WiX toolset that I was pretty
sure was fixed in the latest drop of WiX v2. Can you try that and see if
it is fixed. If not, reopen this bug and any extra information would be
appreciated.
