Dear WiX developers,
thank you very much for delivering this great piece of software.
I'd like to report the following:
Using any version from 3.0.3815 to the newest (currently 3.0.3907) I get
the following error message when trying to "dark" a msi package that has
been created using vs2005.
-----%<---------%<---------%<---------%<---------%<---------%<---------%
<---------%<---------%<---------%<----
[exec] Decompiling the Control table.
[exec] dark.exe : error DARK0001 : Unable to cast object of type
'System.Int32' to type 'System.String'.

Version 3.0.3808 is the last one that works fine for me. I assume
something got broken or I am missing something...
The problem can be traced back to the following code (ControlRow.cs):
-----%<---------%<---------%<---------%<---------%<----
public string X
{
get { return (string)this.Fields[3].Data; }
set { this.Fields[3].Data = value; }
}
-----%<---------%<---------%<---------%<---------%<----
As a quick fix, you might want to consider using Convert.ToString()
instead of casting from object to string all over the place... On the
other hand, I'm not quite sure, whether this might result in a slight
loss of performance.
Drop me a line if you need additional information!
Kind regards,
Daniel
