1,2.  I don’t understand your pseudo-code.  ComponentRef’s can’t have File elements under them.  I’m not sure how to interpret Situation 1 and 2.  It would also be helpful to know what the symbol the error is complaining about.   3.  The “-ai” switch *may* be broken in WiX v3.  There have

Re: [WiX-users] 'Duplicate Symbols' error, Components, and ComponentGroups

For each of these below scenarios, if you could make small wxs files to reproduce each problem, that would greatly speed up investigation because then we could just run the repro in the debugger to figure out what’s going on.  A lot of this stuff sounds like bugs, but I’d have to see the sc

[WiX-users] 'Duplicate Symbols' error, Components, and ComponentGroups

wix version 3.0.1828.0   When calling light against install projects there are a few situations that are causing problems for us when designing our installs.  All of these situations cause the "Duplicate Symbol found' error.   Situation 1 (this is pseudo-code):   Feature1     - ComponentR

Re: [WiX-users] Creating msi from merge module fails

Oddly that doesn't seem to be the issue. There are a lot of differences between the two wxs files (much more than just adding a dummy file and shortcut). Could you please try to narrow down the changes a bit more between the working and non-working install? Also, please attach a verbose log from

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action problem

Well then I have another problem. The custom action as I have it set up doesn't do anything. I'm trying to setup code groups for .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0. My understanding is that the way I have it setup, it should call the caspol.exe with the command line arguments in the execommand attribute

Re: [WiX-users] Creating msi from merge module fails

When you don't have the dummy file and shortcut, does your msi have InstallFiles and CreateShortcuts in the InstallExecuteSequence? If not, then rather than adding a dummy file and shortcut, you can add those actions directly to your wxs. -Brian Simoneau -Original Message- From: [EMAIL P

Hi, There does not seem to be any errors in the log and the msi file has the correct size. Another WiX user who had the same problem advised me to add a dummy file and shortcut to make it work. This works (wsx file attached) but is not very elegant. A doubt that my users would like dummy files p
