I'm wondering why Light fails, as probably Candle did run. Just a guess: might
the view-private files be the issue?
If latency is the issue you will experience more problems not just with
light.exe

Onderwerp: [WiX-users] ClearCase Dynamic View issue
Hello,
Whilst stored under ClearCase source control and running from a Dynamic View,
some of the WiX V3 and V2 executables fail with the following error message:
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is
incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
The programs which fail are:
Light.exe.
Setup.exe.
1) It fails on ClearCase Dynamic views, but succeeds on ClearCase static views.
There is more latency on a Dynamic view and it uses a different file system
(mvfs).
2) All the programs are permissioned identically.
3) Since some programs do work, Security (caspol, etc) is not the issue.
4) If copied to another location, all programs start working.
5) All the WiX files are present (this error message will appear if certain
files are missing).
Running the Compiler from a non-ClearCase location is an acceptable temporary
workaround, but has irritating long-term issues.
As ClearCase Dynamic views suffer an initial latency when accessing files, I
wonder if Light.exe is not waiting long enough for its file checks to return?
Is Light.exe able to tolerate long initial latencies when doing its initial WiX
integrity checks?
Does anyone have any useful suggestions?
Best Regards
Martin Lavelle
