Summary: errors and warnings when trying to 'light' HxS installer
Initial Comment:
Trying to create an installer for installing a .hxs
file into the Visual Studo 2005 help system produces
various errors and warnings from 'light'.
= Steps to Reproduce =
1. Unpack the attached set of files
2. Provide these 2 help-related files in the same
directory as MyInstaller.wxs:
AppHelpFile.hxc
AppHelpFile.hxs
(I could not include my .hxc and .hxs files
because they contain documentation for internal
software.)
3. Run these commands:
candle MyInstaller.wxs -ext WixVSExtension
light MyInstaller.wixobj -ext WixVSExtension
= Expected result =
The .msi should have been produced with no errors.
= Actual result =
No .msi is produced, and these errors and warnings
were reported:

Well, what about fixing error in CVS/next build?
Now, to include Help registration to installer, i need to patch
WixVSExtension.dll via ildasm/ilasm !
Bug was open almost a year ago!

I modified ext\VSExtension\wixext\Data\tables.xml to remove
keyTable="File" keyColumn="1" from HelpNamespace_ and HelpNamespace_Parent
columns and recompiled Wix. The build ran fine (with some warnings though),
and the generated .msi registered the help collection successfully.

Only the last line in the InstallExecuteSequence is required, i.e.:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<InstallFinalize Sequence="7800" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Also, when I look into MSHelp2_RegTables__RTL_---_---.msm in Orca, the
_Validation table entry for table HelpPlugin, column HelpNamespace_ has
nothing in KeyTable and KeyColumn columns. From my limited experience it
looks that HelpNamespace_ column is not a foreign key to any other table.
However, the table schema embedded in WixVSExtension.dll indicates that
WixVSExtension.dll thinks that HelpNamespace_ column is a foreign key to
HelpNamespace table, which is apparently wrong.
The situation is the same with HelpPlugin.HelpNamespace_Parent column. I
wonder if recompiling WiX adjusting the schema will remove the ICE03 error,
I'm going to try it later today.
Hope that helps,
Sergey

I can reproduce with no problem. You can work around the
custom action errors with:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<ProcessComponents Sequence="2600" />
<UnpublishComponents Sequence="2700" />
<UnpublishFeatures Sequence="2800" />
<StopServices Sequence="2900" />
<RegisterComPlus Sequence="6700" />
<CreateShortcuts Sequence="7590" />
<InstallFinalize Sequence="7800" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Probably not all of those are required but I wasn't able to
narrow them down.
I haven't been able to work around the ICE03 errors. Try
-notidy and then running the resulting .msi. If it works,
you can use -sice to suppress the ICE validation. I suspect
the problem is that the HelpNamespace_Parent columns refer
to HelpNamespace rows that don't exist in the .msi. The Help
CAs require that DExplore registration is present on the
target machine so they don't fail at runtime.
