Hi Blair,
Thank you for your help. I checked the log file. AppSearch(property
EXE_EXISTS) was set before INSTALLDIR but CA_RunEXE was called after INSTALLDIR
set.
Execute Sequences:
1. AppSearch property EXE_EXISTS assigned
2. Property INSTALLDIR assigned
2. CA_RunEXE custom
No but you could attribute it to a bug in whichever version of Windows
Installer you're using to test the MSI (v3.1 or v4.0 whether you're on
XP/2k3 or Vista/2k8 respectively I'm guessing).
People on this list really need to learn the difference between WiX

hi All,
i've a sample installer which will be called by my setup.exe, while
launching setup.exe after welcome dialog suddenly installation was failing,
even logs doesn't giving any errors, so went to the event viewer and i found
one error. the error is like this:
Faulting application setup.exe,
I'd try changing
Publish Dialog=LicenseAgreementDlg Control=Next Event=NewDialog
Value=UserRegistrationDlg Order=2LicenseAccepted = 1/Publish
To 'Order=1' as from looking at the WiX v3.0 sources, WiXUI_Mondo.wxs has the
following:
Publish Dialog=LicenseAgreementDlg Control=Next
Looks like a problem with your bootstrapper. Try running it in a debug
session.
It shouldn't be affecting your installer though. Once msiexec has been
called to run your MSI your bootstrapper *should* have nothing more to
do with the whole process.

Bob,
Sorry to trouble you.
Our tests show different behaviours of this dialog when installing from
local disk or CD room.
Our installer of single MSI file is about 400MB. When installing from CD on
a low spec machine, this Preparing to install dialog box is displayed
immediately, then OS hangs
I'm using v4.5.6001.22159 if that is any help to anyone.
Is putting my CustomAction before LaunchConditions the best place to run
my vbs, or would there be another more appropriate place?
Dominique.

Hi,
I have something like
Component Id=C1 Guid=... DiskId=1
File Id=F1 Name=app.exe Source=c:\app.exe
Shortcut Id=app1Sc Name=app sc Icon=... IconIndex=.../
Shortcut Id=app1ScRmt Name=appSc Remote Icon=... IconIndex=.../
/File
File.../File
Registry.../Registry
Give both app.exe unique File Id's I suspect the shortcuts won't appear.

In that case are you bootstrapping the Windows Installer 4.5
redistributable before your installer runs so all your users/customers
will be able to successfully install your product or are you also
testing it on 3.1 4.0 to make sure they don't have problems?
According to the docs
http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Deploying_Additional_Components might be
helpful.

I confirm the C1 and C2 file IDs are all different (I missed that in my example

Make sure it is before LaunchConditions and after AppSearch (you can move
either one of those if needed)
For example:

AppSearch Before=ParseSqlServerForMSSQL/
Custom Action=ParseSqlServerForMSSQL Before=LaunchConditions/
/InstallExecuteSequence
InstallUISequence
You will need to calculate/retrieve INSTALLDIR via a custom action you run
before AppSearch, or use some directory other than INSTALLDIR for our
EXE_EXISTS property.
Since you only run that EXE when it was previously present, is that EXE
placed there using a previous installer package? Could you
First thing I see is a component rule violation: C1 and C2 have the same

be installed by one and only one component (same with every other resource).
You will need to fix that somehow, since violations of the component
I find it weird that the WI would reject VBS but accept a C/C++ dll?
There is nothing stopping someone from writing dodgy code in C/C++ and
shipping it with an installer.
Just because it is compiled it's safer?

By changing it to 'Order=3' seems to be working. Thanks for the hint.

I've not come across the Vista scripting issue that Blair mentioned, but AV
programs are always looking for scripts that might be dangerous. In some cases
I believe they even intercept calls to the scripting engines. This is typically
the reason so many setups ask you to disable AV programs
