Category: extensions Group: v2.0 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Private: No 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. See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8517874&forum_id=39978 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Scott Kurtzeborn (scotk) Date: 2006-12-19 21:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1296992 Originator: NO The error we get back from MSXML is ERROR_OPEN_FAILED (0x8007006e). To my knowledge, there is no more information provided from the MSXML APIs to indicate why it failed to open the file. We do log that the failure happened during load and not while we were trying to find the file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steve Sugden (smspro) Date: 2005-11-23 01:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1359998 (Not sure if this is the right form to submit a follow-up, but here goes...) 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: 2005-11-22 17:55 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
