Hi all.

 

I’m new to this list so please correct me if this has already been discussed. I’ve installed the latest weekly build of WiX 3 on my development system and also on my Team Foundation Server/Team Foundation Build.

 

The WiX solution builds fine on my development system, in all Debug/Release configurations. I checked that solution in to the main project on the Team Foundation Server, and configured a Build for it. When I start the build, it’s all run with the DOMAIN\TFSService user account as specified in the Team Foundation Installation manual. Everything runs fine, until it gets to Light:

 

Target PrepareForBuild:

                Creating directory "obj\Release\".

                Creating directory "D:\Build\ProjectName\WiX - Web Client Printer\Binaries\Release\".

            Target Compile:

                C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe -out "obj\Release\Web Client Printer.wixobj" "Web Client Printer.wxs"

            Target Link:

                C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\Light.exe -out "D:\Build\ProjectName\WiX - Web Client Printer\Binaries\Release\Web_Client_Printer.msi" "obj\Release\Web Client Printer.wixobj"

                light.exe : error LGHT0216: An unexpected Win32 exception with error code 0x659 occurred: This installation is forbidden by system policy.  Contact your system administrator

            Done building target "Link" in project "Web Client Printer.wixproj" -- FAILED.

 

This error is what one would get if they ran a MSI with a user account that did not have Administrative priviledges, but why would that appear during the link process? The Team Foundation Server Installation manual specifically says not to give DOMAIN\TFSService administrative priviledges for security reasons, but I did anyways to see if it would get around this issue. It did not, and I still received the same error message.

 

I can provide the full build log if necessary, I haven’t had a chance to redact it yet.
