Validation (which is executed by default) starts up the Windows Installer
engine. If you have the Windows Installer engine disabled, validation will
always fail. You'd want to suppress validation (-sval) or allow the Windows
Installer engine to run. Of course, validation can catch some errors in your
MSI so I recommend leaving it on.
"Mangaged" in this case means "administrator said it was okay to run this MSI
on your machine".

Subject: [WiX-users] Votive under VS2005 reports "This installation is
forbidden by system policy" when running as LUA
[Please excuse me if this is a stupid question: I'm just getting started with
WiX]
I'm just playing with WiX v3.0 and Votive. I've created a new WiX MSI project,
and when building it (and changing all the PUT-WHATEVER-HERE values), Light
reports the following error:
Error LGHT0216: An unexpected Win32 exception with error code 0x659 occurred:
This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system
administrator
I looked this up in Google, and all I could find were references to the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer, specifically the DisableMSI
value (documented at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368304.aspx).
I'm running Windows 2003, so I guess that the default applies. I assume that
"managed applications" in this context means .NET applications, correct?
When I build it with an admin account, I get an ICE validation error instead.
It appears to me that the ICE checks don't work in a non-Admin account. Is
there any way to get them to work, or should I simply turn them off? If I turn
them off, then the project builds successfully, but this probably isn't ideal.
I'd prefer not to set DisableMSI to zero, which appears to allow installations
for all applications, because I think that it might open a security hole. Or am
I missing something?
Regards,
Roger.
