[WiX-users] Burn: bundle cost validation?

2012-03-30 Thread Vadym Verba

May be not helpful enough. Enabling validation still gets me: light.exe: Error executing ICE action 'ICE01'. The most common cause of this kind of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered scripting engine. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for details and how to solve this

Well, the only benefit to running smoke.exe as an Exec process is that I can set the ConinueOnError process to keep it from breaking the build. I also have an interesting error message from smoke.exe during the run: smoke.exe: An unexpected Win32 exception with error code 0x643 occurred:

Hi Rob, I'm not sure what you mean by debug. Does burn have a verbose command line option? I'm not that familiar with window installer and wix. Just started using wix for msi 6 months ago and burn a week ago. Wes -Original Message- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com]
