I've gotten hold of a Windows 7 x64 VM and tried installing, uninstalling, repairing a few dinky products we have built installers for over the last while. Even added a new one with a large (100 megabytes uncompressed) payload. Tried with and without UAC for all. No troubles at all with the trouble KB installed. User was a domain account, for what that is worth.
I'm still waiting to hear on our support-contract folks and am thinking about how to do more tests. Does anyone have a MSI that provokes a problem that they wish me to try and can send to me somehow? I'd be willing to investigate it.

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] SECREPAIR: CryptAcquireContext: Could not create the default key container Has anyone with a support contract or the like with Microsoft asked about this? I've pre-emptively raised a concern with some of my colleagues but people don't know what to make of a bunch of isolated forum posts/this list's thread.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] SECREPAIR: CryptAcquireContext: Could not create the default key container Okay. That points to the fix having issues and not being isolated to Burn. Which, fortunately or unfortunately, means Microsoft probably needs to fix the fix. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Matt O'Connell [mailto:techsupport...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 9:02 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.
