Having resolved how to build Wix 3.8.823 on Win 8 x64, it was a simple matter to break on the Assert. The strutil.cpp Assert is happening prior to starting the MBA.
StrAllocString StrUtil.cpp line 277 ppwz is a pointer to &<Bad Ptr> wzSource is "C:\Windows\System32\msi.dll" LoadSystemWithPath WiuInitialize Line 139 Initializes sczMsiDllPath to NULL and passes it to LoadSystemLibrarWithPath which causes the Assert. EnigineRun wWinMain Any advice on how to resolve this issue since it results in an unfriendly dialog for the user? -- 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-tp7589279p7589375.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.
