Is it managed C++? It's not clear to me how you're calling a managed code assembly otherwise - that log might be a DTF or InstallUtilLib call, but it's not obvious which it might be.

The exact error message I get is: MSI (c) (C0:1C) [10:18:19:335]: Note: 1: 1723 2: caStripCharsFromNetworkPort 3: StripExtraCharsFromRegSearchValue 4: C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.LAB\LOCALS~1\Temp\MSI151.tmp Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action caStripCharsFromNetworkPort, entry: StripExtraCharsFromRegSearchValue, library: C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.LAB\LOCALS~1\Temp\MSI151.tmp This custom action is a managed assembly. I unpacked the MSI and CAB and pointed .NET reflector at the assembly and all its references were found. I set the fusion log to log while running the MSI and it doesn't report any errors. I ran msiexec within a WinDBG session and didn't get any module load failures. Does anyone have tips on how do debug this type or issue? Or basically any debugging related to WiX/MSI? How can the wixpdb files be used? Thanks for the reply, I know you didn't write WiX though I've had an easier time debugging hex machine code than the WiX/MSI process. > Message: 6 > Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:05:01 +0200 > From: "Dan Vasilov" <d...@rms.ro> > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Error 1723 > To: "'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'" > <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Message-ID: <02fc01cbd401$eb598740$c20c95c0$@ro> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > It is very likely the .dll is not included in the MSI package at > build. > Another possibility is the .dll is missing some dependent .dll files. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Colin LeMahieu [mailto:clemah...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 7:26 PM > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [WiX-users] Error 1723 > > I'm getting this error on startup for an MSI that previously worked. > Are there any tips for debugging this error?
