Hello all,

We are seeing this same issue on windows 2012, using wix 3.8, same in 3.7. It's 
been going on for around 6 months and I'm out of ideas about what to do about 
it. I see a bug was raised for this but I can't find it on the bug tracking 
system (3310378). I've not managed to attach a debugger to it as it fails so 
inconsistently, the best I have I the event log details which show the same 
exception code and a parameter, and the symptoms seem to be the same:

Hello,

I'm having an intermittent problem with light that seems to have started with 
Wix 3.5.  I'm now using the released version of 3.5 but this issue was observed 
on pre-release builds of 3.5.  During the build of a msi I'm getting the below 
unhandled exception events and error to stderr:

wondering if the Wix 3.5 symbols are available?  I did not see them on 
SourceForge.  In the meantime, I've started trying to build the source.

If anyone has any ideas on what is happening I'd like to hear them.

Thanks,
Tom

 Hello,

After several missed opportunities I've finally got a crash dump and was able 
to run a quick analysis.  Using Wix 3.6.1706.0 light crashes intermittently on 
our build machines.  This crash was also observed with 3.5 release.  I'm 
continuing to look into this but was wondering if those familiar with the code 
might recognize the potential issue?  Below is the windbg analysis:

I've done some cursory searching but I can't find how to submit a bug for Wix.  
Any pointers or links would be appreciated.

 Hello,

I'm able to log a bug, 3310378, but I can't add my crash dump attachment.  I'm 
guessing that it is too large but I'm not getting any fail to add information.  
The file in question is 43MB.  Is there a files size limitation for 
attachments?  Is there another way to make the file available?

Thanks,
Tom

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?

Try compressing it with 7-Zip <http://www.7-zip.org/>;. SourceForge has a
size limit but I'm not sure what it is.

 Hello,

I got about 6% better compression with 7-Zip compared to WinRAR but 
unfortunately my file is still too big to attach (40.3MB).  Is there another 
alternative to making the crash dump available?

The crash has been seen with Light.exe versions pre-release 3.5, 3.52519 and 
3.6.1706.

Thanks,
Tom

Something like SkyDrive <http://explore.live.com/windows-live-skydrive>;
would do; just post a link in the bug.
