Another exciting scenario that can create this I've run into occurs during testing. If I make an install, then uninstall, then install again in rapid succession, you can run into a race where the folder you're trying to X to (where X can be create, copy into or set permissions on) is still being deleted but still exists--at least on Server 2008/2008 R2. Particularly for web host folders, these can hang around for a few minutes or more after an uninstall.
Generate some nasty bugs until I figured it out and told the testing personnel to wait for the folder to actually finish being deleted before installing to it again. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 10:14 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installation of WiX36 issue- System Restore Point Creation Failure The System Restore error isn't the issue. The fact that "Continuing..." is on the end of the line means it was non-fatal error. The fatal error is that the ACLs on your ProgamData cannot be set correctly. Last time we saw this was Neil actually had a per-machine Bundle that was trying to be installed on a machine where UAC was disabled but the user was not an admin. Any chance that is the scenario here? If not, can you check the ACLs on the folder mentioned in the error. Something is preventing us from being able to set the ACLs on it.
