On my development system (Win 7 x64 VS2010SP1) I can build the Wix 3.8 debug code no problem, but I avoid testing setups on my development system. On this test box, Win 8 x64 VS2010SP1, I have the Wix 3.8 debug tree from the dev PC. I can build my project linking to the debug build of Wix 3.8 but even with the option to debug from managed code into native code, I cannot get any breakpoint in the native code to stick. I can step through the managed code but I cannot attach to or break in the native code. Yet the error report shows the line number of the assert so the pdb was found.
I also cannot get a clean build on the test box due to an issue with HTML Help hhc.exe is missing, even though HTML Help is in the ARP and it does not allow me to install the downloaded HTML Help setup. I have spent several days tying to resolve this issue without success so far. If I could get a clean debug build on the test box I am sure this would be an easy issue to figure out which string is the focus of the Assert. I also tried to comment out as much of the MBA as possible to narrow down the issue, without success. I am still trying to resolve the Win 8 HTML Help configuration issue but if there are any other ideas on how to approach this issue I appreciate the suggestions. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-MBA-how-to-debug-strutil-cpp-line-277-Assert-tp7589279p7589372.html Sent from the wix-devs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
