Hi, maybe a bit late.. but better late then never ;-)
Got the issue when installing using reduced mode (msiexec /i MySetup.msi /l*v MyLog.log /qr): ... MSI (c) (74:0C) [07:19:07:760]: Doing action: WelcomeDlg Action 7:19:07: WelcomeDlg. Action start 7:19:07: WelcomeDlg. DEBUG: Error 2726: Action not found: WelcomeDlg The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2726. The arguments are: WelcomeDlg, , Action ended 7:19:07: WelcomeDlg. Return value 0. ... MSI (c) (74:0C) [07:19:20:198]: Doing action: ExitDialog Action 7:19:20: ExitDialog. Action start 7:19:20: ExitDialog. DEBUG: Error 2726: Action not found: ExitDialog The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2726. The arguments are: ExitDialog, , Action ended 7:19:20: ExitDialog. Return value 0. .... but not when installing the same package using normal UI (msiexec /i MySetup.msi /l*v MyLogQR.log). For the product.wxs I just added <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLLOCATION" /> <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir"/> and one component to a blank default Visual Studiu Setup Project Template. Then did the same for a InstallShield 2010 Basic MSI project ... et voila: ... MSI (c) (5C:18) [07:23:28:802]: Doing action: InstallWelcome Action 7:23:28: InstallWelcome. Action start 7:23:28: InstallWelcome. Info 2726.Action not found: InstallWelcome. Action ended 7:23:28: InstallWelcome. Return value 0. .... MSI (c) (5C:18) [07:23:37:506]: Doing action: SetupCompleteSuccess Action 7:23:37: SetupCompleteSuccess. Action start 7:23:37: SetupCompleteSuccess. Info 2726.Action not found: SetupCompleteSuccess. Action ended 7:23:37: SetupCompleteSuccess. Return value 0. ... Got the same error but with other logging as Info text. So I assume it's some strange behavior in that case as no other issues were detected and the log seems normal for both installers (InstallShield one and WiX one) Regards Tobias 2010/9/3 Umesh Joglekar <umesh_jogle...@hotmail.com>: > > > Hi, > > We have been seeing this error in our installs (both first time and repair > mode) > > Here is a relevant portion of the log. > > Action 14:15:27: ProgressForm.
