Thanks Blair. Sorry I missed the real error.

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Return='ignore' causes "ICE68: invalid custom action type for action" Lian, Thank you for the log. The ignore on the InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred is working. The reason for the installation failure is the failure in the next action: CheckRDSInstallationDeferred. The apparent reason: A StrongName validation failed for 'Microsoft.SharedComputing.Setup.CustomAction, Version=1.0.194.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' Look further in the log and find these lines: CustomAction CheckRDSInstallationDeferred returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Action ended 11:15:15: InstallFinalize. Return value 3. After this the rollback proceeds. -Blair -----Original Message----- From: Lian Jiang [mailto:lji...@microsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:20 AM To: os...@live.com Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Return='ignore' causes "ICE68: invalid custom action type for action" Blair, This is the error: MSI (s) (80:34) [11:14:04:057]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred,,) Action 11:14:04: InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred.

Also, which version of MSI? -----Original Message----- From: Lian Jiang [mailto:lji...@microsoft.com] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 5:16 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Return='ignore' causes "ICE68: invalid custom action type for action" Thanks Blair for your explanation. I tried: <CustomAction Id="InstallWindowsFeatures" Property="InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred" Value='"[WindowsFolder]Sysnative\dism.exe" /online ......' Execute='immediate'/> <CustomAction Id="InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred" BinaryKey='WixCA' DllEntry="CAQuietExec64" Execute="deferred" Return='ignore' Impersonate="no" /> As you see, I removed "Return='ignore'" from InstallWidnowsFeatures and set Return='ignore' in InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred. The compile can pass without ICE68 error but running msi failed because the return value is not 0 (shown in the log). Yes, I allow installation continue even this custom action failed. Do I still miss anything? Thanks Lian -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 4:46 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Return='ignore' causes "ICE68: invalid custom action type for action" A so-called SetProperty "custom" action is a built-in type (it is a Type 51 custom action), and setting a session property value isn't ever expected to fail. Why do you want to set Return='ignore'? And what would you do in your deferred action if the immediate SetProperty ever did fail? Because you add the msidbCustomActionTypeContinue flag to your type 51 action, Windows Installer sees a type 115, and I assume it doesn't have any codepath that supports a Type 115, which is why you get the ICE68 (to prevent you from attempting it) and an "unsupported type" when you attempt it anyway. The one you may wish to ignore (if you don't wish to depend on it returning a 0 result code) would be your deferred InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred action. That is the one that actually runs your dism.exe utility. -----Original Message----- From: Lian Jiang [mailto:lji...@microsoft.com] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 4:27 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Return='ignore' causes "ICE68: invalid custom action type for action" Hi, I have a custom action: <CustomAction Id="InstallWindowsFeatures" Property="InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred" Value='"[WindowsFolder]Sysnative\dism.exe" /online /NoRestart /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /featurename:Xps-Foundation-Xps-Viewer /featurename:InkSupport /featurename:DesktopExperience /featurename:SearchEngine-Server-Package /featurename:Indexing-Service-Package' Execute='immediate' Return='ignore'/> <CustomAction Id="InstallWindowsFeaturesDeferred" BinaryKey='WixCA' DllEntry="CAQuietExec64" Execute="deferred" Return='check' Impersonate="no" /> When I compile, it failed due to ICE68 - Invalid custom action type for action 'InstallWindowsFeatures'. If I bypass ICE68 when linking, running the msi will fail with "Custom action InstallWindowsFeatures specifies unsupported type". The trick is that if I change the highlighted 'ignore'Johto 'check', then compile will pass without bypassing ICE68. Does anybody know why I cannot use Return='ignore'? Appreciate very much!
