0.  I was not intimately involved with the NGen development so if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about, I don't and I'm sorry.

 

1.  Verbose log of the failed uninstall should show much more detail.

 

2.  Not sure.  It looks like install and uninstall use the same entry point so they must be the same return value checking.  We could create different entry points and modify the CustomAction.  I'll bounce this off K and see what he thinks (since he wrote that part).

 

3.  Unfortunately in WiX v2, you have to actually modify the .wixlib.  In WiX v3 the condition could be overridden but I think you'd need to modify the .wixlib.  Really this sounds more like a bug issue.  Can you open a bug on Source Forge to track it and I'll ping K right away.

Subject: [WiX-users] NativeImage element in NetFx

 

I’m using this element in WiX 2.0.  For the most part it’s been fine, but with internal product builds I’ve had a few users hit a failure with uninstall where ngen returns that the assembly has already been uninstalled.   This causes uninstalls to fail.   I haven’t been able to get repro steps.   I’m left with a few questions:

 

1.       Any suggestions on potential reasons for this or how I might track it down?

2.       Why fail at all on uninstall with ngen?

3.       Is it possible for me to override the custom action info for the extension in WiX?  (ie- to ignore failures)

 

My big concern is that we get inundated with support calls to help uninstall the application- I don’t know of an easy way to skip extension actions with WiX (see the above #3).

 

Thanks,

-Jeremy
