Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM
Microsoft .NET Framework

Latest hotfix for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition - ENU
(KB947789) KB947789

I got the very same behaviour on 2 different workstations:
1. Intel E8400, 4GB RAM
2. Intel X9650, 4GB RAM
Software configuration is the same for the both computers.

There are some known regressions on VS2005, but can you reproduce this
problem on VS2008 with WiX v3.0.4109 or later?

I’ve been able to further pin down the source and repro steps for
generating the "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM
component." issue when reopening a wix3 project using the current builds.
Repro path 1
1. file | new | WixProject | <anyName>
2. references | addReference | <anyWixExtension>
3. save solution, close and reopen
4. <project> | add | newFolder | <anyName>
5. save solution, close and reopen at which time bug repro’s
Repro path 2
1. file | new | WixProject | <anyName>
2. <project> | add | newFolder | <anyName>
3. save solution, close and reopen
4. <project> | references | addReference | <anyWixExtension>
5. save solution, close and reopen at which time bug repro’s
Work around 1
Open project file in notepad and remove all <WixExtension…/> entries
then readd them with ide once project has successfully reopened. Removing
<Folder Include… /> entries would work as well but requires also removing
*.wixproj settings that will cause repro
<ItemGroup>
<WixExtension Include="WixIIsExtension">
<HintPath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML
v3\bin\WixIIsExtension.dll</HintPath>
</WixExtension>
<Compile Include="WixProject1.wxs" />
<Folder Include="NewFolder1\" />
</ItemGroup>
*.wixproj settings that will not cause repro
<ItemGroup>
<WixExtension Include="WixIIsExtension">
<HintPath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML
v3\bin\WixIIsExtension.dll</HintPath>
</WixExtension>
<Compile Include="WixProject1.wxs" />
</ItemGroup>
*.wixproj settings that will not cause repro
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="WixProject1.wxs" />
<Folder Include="NewFolder1\" />
</ItemGroup>

Hello,
I had also problems opening a project!
I had some subdirectories within my project:
After removing from the wixproj...
<ItemGroup>
<Folder Include="NewFolder1\" />
</ItemGroup>
... and after CLOSING COMPLETELY DevStudio (yes, just reload doesn't
work!!) and reopening the solution, I could open it normally without
E_FAIL!
I then just inserted my previously removed resources to the projects'
root, and it works for me.

Same error here with VS2005.
In 3.0.3829.0 the references seemed to be the problem, so I tried
3.0.3907.0.
References are working now, but sub folders are causing this error now.
- Create New Project
- Save
- Close and Open (working)
- Just add an empty folder
- Save and close
- Open is not working anymore. :(
If I put all my wix file aside of project file then it is working in
3.0.3907.0.
