For #1 and #2 the build you want is "2.0.5805.0". That is the "final WiX v2 build".
For #3 the only way to avoid those problems is upgrade your toolset regularly when you are working on a WiX toolset that is under development (as WiX v2 as two years ago). -----Original Message----- From: Nutesh Garg Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 05:45 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] error while uninstalling That version of the WiX toolset is almost two years old. You need to upgrade to get the bug fixes. I'm pretty sure this one is fixed. -----Original Message----- From: Nutesh Garg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 23:39 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] error while uninstalling Can you be more specific about the version. Running "candle -?" will show you the full version. It is very possible you have an old build and this is already fixed. -----Original Message----- From: Nutesh Garg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 22:07 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

The msi log says: DEBUG: Error 2769: Custom Action InstallSqlData did not close 5 MSIHANDLEs. MSI (s) (74:6C) [23:50:36:688]: Closing MSIHANDLE (74) of type 790542 for thread 6176 The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2769. The arguments are: InstallSqlData, 5, MSI (s) (74:20) [23:50:36:688]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0 MSI (s) (74:20) [23:50:36:688]: Note: 1: 1402 2: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Rollback\Scripts 3: 2 Action ended 23:50:36: InstallSqlData. Return value 3. The error 2769 says The InstallExecuteSequence may have been authored incorrectly. Actions that change the system must be sequenced between the InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize actions. Perform package validation and check for ICE77. I validated the package and this ICE77 is not coming. >From my investigation I found that InstallSqlData is a standard custom action >that is added by WIX itself when I run some SQL scripts. The custom action is automatically scheduled after InstallFiles and in InstallExecuteSequence the condition to run this custom action is NOT SKIPINSTALLSQLDATA. I am using WIX 2.0. Any help is appreciated here.
