Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: CustomActions Group: v2.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Steve Sugden (smspro) Assigned to: Scott Kurtzeborn (scotk) Summary: XmlFile - Improved Error Handling Initial Comment: Invalid source xml file causes a confusing "file not found" error message. An "invalid xml" or "failed to parse" etc. message would be more useful in debuging installers.

Yes - that is the error message I got. The extract from the msiexec log is - "ExecXmlFile: Error 0x8007006e: failed to load XML file: C:\Program Files\CODA\CODA-Control Assessor\Web.config Error 25531. Failed to open XML file C:\Program Files\CODA\CODA-Control Assessor\Web.config, system error: - 2147024786" My suggestion is that the message is changed to reflect the reason why the XML file failed to load (i.e. its ill- formed). I assumed that it couldn't be found (but I supose on relection that that would have resulted in a "file not fould" error?). Hope that helps ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Arnson (barnson) Date: 2005-11-23 01:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=26581 Can you provide a log excerpt with the exact error message? The message for a missing file or a file that isn't well-formed is "failed to load XML file: %S" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1324594&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
