When running our builds, we will frequently see the following unhandled exceptions from light.exe:
Event Type: Error Event Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 2/12/2008 Time: 1:19:17 PM User: N/A Computer: BUILD10 Description: Faulting application light.exe, version 3.0.2211.0, stamp 452ce377, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.2919, stamp 4626487f, debug? 0, fault address 0x00015e02. Event Type: Error Event Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 2/7/2008 Time: 7:47:59 AM User: N/A Computer: BUILD10 Description: Faulting application light.exe, version 3.0.2211.0, stamp 452ce377, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, stamp 00000000, debug? 0, fault address 0x00342740. The strange thing is that when we see this problem, we just rebuild the install project and the error doesn't occur again. So it seems like a race condition. After looking through the app event logs and the short build error messages that we get, it looks like light.exe is crashing after the following three types of warnings: LGHT1050: multiple CAs with same sequence # - kernal32.dll exception - System.NullReferenceException LGHT1076/ICE39: MM explicitely marked compressed but so does the summary stream of the install - kernal32.dll exception - System.NullReferenceException LGHT1079: Product2.cab contains no files - kernal32.dll - System.NullReferenceException It's a major problem because the exception window pops detailing that light.exe has crashed, which does not allow the build to break properly. Thus, the build hangs and we only find out about it if we happen to remote into the build machine and see the message. I've turned on Dr. Watson on one of our build machines in order to get a call stack but I'm hoping that someone has some more info w/o the exception analysis. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Faulting-application-light.exe-tp15442282p15442282.html Sent from the wix-devs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
