Re: [WiX-users] Burn: upgrades
I wasn't expect psychic debugging as I have posted quite a lot of logs. What I am trying to find out is why burn thinks the upgrade hasn't happened when windows installer thinks it has. As far as I can tell I can run the msi in upgrade mode many times and it works as an upgrade but burn is for some reason not seeing the same. Happy to post more logs if that will help.

[WiX-users] "Failed to open the database" error. - SOLVED
Hi all, I'm new to wix and am was getting this message when I try to build the wsx file of a wix project in Visual Studio 2012. The full text of the message (generated by Light) is: "Error9 Failed to open the database. During validation, this most commonly happens when attempting to open a database using an unsupported code page or a file that is not a valid Windows Installer database. Please use a different code page in Module/@Codepage, Package/@SummaryCodepage, Product/@Codepage, or WixLocalization/@Codepage; or make sure you provide the path to a valid Windows Installer database." I am not referring to Codepage (or SummaryCodepage) in any of those tags, or in fact anywhere in the wxs. Putting Codepage="1252" didn't change anything. Finally, I tried adding encoding="utf-16" to the xml tag which previously only had a version='1.0' attribute. This fixed the problem. Now that it is solved, I don't need any help, but - working on the theory that I can't be the only person it's happened to - I thought it might be useful to have the solution here. hth mcalex -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Failed-to-open-the-database-error-SOLVED-tp7582297.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
