You might need an Error table in your MSI file. I think an empty path is an error related to the SQL query not finding anything.
Error should be a standard table, but the log seems to think there isn't one, assuming that really is the issue. I thought WiX used the SDK's schema.msi as a base?

Subject: [WiX-users] MSI runtime error code 2343 I am trying to modify the InstallDir template by replacing LicenseAgreementDlg with a new dialog that is a modified version of BrowseDlg with which the user would specify the directory where our license file can be found. My prototype fails just after hitting Next in WelcomeDlg with the "unexpected error" popup which quotes error code 2343. I ran the MSI with msiexec to collect the log. But the log doesn't tell me much. The most detailed message seems to be just: DEBUG: Error 2343: Specified path is empty. It doesn't tell me what path it is talking about. I reviewed all property values that the logger dumped after the error message, and the paths look good. How can I trace the error further from here? Below are messages surrounding the error message in question: MSI (c) (78:38) [13:12:01:764]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying CostingComplete property. Its current value is '0'. Its new value: '1'.
