Category: light Group: v3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Drew Millen (dmillen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Light fails to link merge module. Initial Comment: This defect occurs when using WiX version 3.0.4025.0 or 3.0.4014.0. I can verify that this defect does not occur using WiX version 3.0.3829.0. I have created a Wix product which integrates a merge module published by "Data Dynamics Active Reports for .NET 3.0". I am not able to attached the merge module to this defect report due to its file size. When light attempts to link the merge module, it reports the following error with stack trace: errorLGHT0001: Failed to fetch a File row from the database that was merged in from a module. Exception Type: System.InvalidOperationException Stack Trace: at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.MergeModules(String tempDatabaseFile, Output output, FileRowCollection fileRows, StringCollection suppressedTableNames) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.BindDatabase(Output output, String databaseFile) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output, String file) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args) Binder temporary directory located at 'C:\Users\autobuild\AppData\Local\Temp\pz4wquhn'.

I copied mergemod.dll from the 3.0.4014 installation bin directory into the bin directory of a 3.0.3829 installation. Looks like the version of mergemod.dll used in WiX 3.0.4014 is 4.0.6001.17131 (compared to the version used in WiX 3.0.3829 which is 3.0.3790.371). When attempting to run the installer with the replaced DLL, the error occurs again: "light.exe : error LGHT0001: Failed to fetch a File row from the database that was merged in from a module.". Does this mean that I should be able to use the latest version of WiX (3.0.4025) if I replace mergemod.dll with an older version? Will this likely be your course of action for resolving the issue? Is mergemod.dll a Microsoft assembly? Please excuse the verbosity of this post; I want to be sure I've done exactly what you were suggesting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Arnson (barnson) Date: 2008-05-01 20:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=26581 Originator: NO OK. Can you go back to 3.0.3829 or 3.0.3907 and copy mergemod.dll from the 3.0.4014 bin directory? We're trying to figure out if the bug is in mergemod.dll or with changes we introduced in the last couple of weeks about how light.exe loads mergemod.dll. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Drew Millen (dmillen) Date: 2008-05-01 08:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2076144 Originator: YES Using arn3_528352msm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Arnson (barnson) Date: 2008-04-30 21:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=26581 Originator: NO Are you using arn3_528351msm or arn3_528352msm (the latest for .NET 1.1 and 2.0) or some other version? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1954901&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
