Summary: Deleting the .MSI if the ICE checks fail... not good?
Initial Comment:
If an ICE produces an error the .MSI seems to be
deleted. This can lead to error messages that there is
no straight-forward way to diagnose.
For example, given the following custom action:
<CustomAction
Id="Set_ARPREADME"
Property="ARPREADME"
Value="[TARGETDIR]\ReadMe.Txt"
Execute="deferred" />
This compiles fine, links fine, but generates the
following ICE error:
.\Product.wxs(142) : error LGHT0204 : ICE68: Invalid
custom action type for action 'Set_ARPREADME'.
Because the error message does not display the custom
action type it is a bit difficult to determine what
exactly is wrong.
I'm sure it would be a lot of work... but shouldn't
all the ICE checks be incorporated into Candle/Light
directly?
Regards,
Rob

This is a fair question. As you mentioned, candle shouldn't
let problems like this occur. So, there is a bug in candle
that should be fixed - we want all ICE errors to be caught
as early as possible (during compilation if possible). If
you need to get the msi file despite the results of
validation, just pass -sval to light to suppress validation.
Errors of any type will always prevent the msi file from
being built.
Please open a bug on the specific invalid custom action
authoring if candle allowed it to get through.
