Good afternoon,
I am creating a database installation. First I try to migrate a database from
SQL 2005 to SQL 2008, but should no database be on a SQL 2005 on the machine, I
am installing a new one. To make this happen, I thought I'll put a backup file
into the TempFolder and reference that
Hi, I have a wix 3.6 install using burn.
One of my MSIPackages (SharedDX.msi) within the setup fails to install.
In the overall log I get..

Which Temp directory are you looking in?
The TempFolder property page on MSDN says Windows Installer uses the

I think you'd need to pass the property to a Custom Action to check that. The

Hello again, I need your help.
The problem with heat -ke + light seems to be related to the fact
that the guid of empty directories can't be an *.
It must be a normal GUID, so light doesn't crash with the error LGHT0230.
Do you know how to create a GUID (not *) for empty directories with heat

True. The custom action uses:
TempDir = session.GetTargetPath(TempFolder);
According to the msiexec-log:
MSI (c) (70:88) [14:19:49:505]: Dir (target): Key: TempFolder , Object:
C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Local\Temp\
And according to my log-messages from within the custom action that does
No it's not a bug.
See #3 from my previous message. Then read it again until you understand it.

From your InstallExecuteSequence code it looks like the Custom Actions should
be called after the file is written to TempFolder. InstallFiles should be long
before your Custom Actions but I would double check by opening the generated

Hi all,
i've read posts saying that wix bootstrapper will never run elevated by
design and because of a political decision.
Quote from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx
In future releases, the only way to run an application elevated will be to
have a signed application
I think you have that backwards. Burn does *not* elevate up front and will
only elevate when necessary following the Microsoft guidelines.

Try doing a build with loose uncompressed files and see if it installs ok.
It may be something to do with the sizes of the individual files or the CAB

Afraid it is not possible.
Have you considered running your .NET 2.0 app in 4.0 using this in app.config:
startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=true
supportedRuntime version=v4.0 /
supportedRuntime version=v2.0.50727/
/startup
It doesn't always work but might be worth trying.
