Thank you this pointed me in the right direction and I saw that in Vista/Server 2008 I was insering a string where I should be inserting an integer

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WindowsInstaller.View.Modify() fails on Vista / Server 2008 The most common reasons for a table insert to throw a "function failed" error are because there's already a record in the table with the same primary key, or because a required (non-nullable) field is missing/null in the inserted record. I would not expect those cases to behave differently with different MSI versions, but you should check to make sure. -----Original Message----- From: Kjartan Þór Kjartansson [mailto:kjar...@eskill.is] Sent: Monday, December 29, 2008 6:38 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] WindowsInstaller.View.Modify() fails on Vista / Server 2008 Hi all, I'm having a problem with installs made with Wix V3 running on Vista and Server 2008, I have a custom action that opens a view on a custom table using Session.Database.OpenView(string) then it tries to add a record to the table with the view using View.Modify(ViewModifyMode.InsertTemporary, Record). This works as expected on Server 2003 and XP but on Vista and Server 2008 this results with: CustomActionException: Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.InstallerException: Function failed during execution. Database: Table(s) Update failed. at Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.View.Modify(ViewModifyMode mode, Record record) and the error code inside the Exception is 1627. I´ve not been able to find useful information on this error with search engines but the closest thing is in this comment http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/11/25/6522370.aspx#8593314 however there is no usefull information there only that someone has run into the same problem.
