Awesome!
Finally works :)
Sigh was so much easier doing this in C# then in C++ AND when I get the
installstate and log it is in a "string" format not "numeric" sigh...
Thanks,
Steve

In the code which was just posted you have three places where you are calling
BalLog and using a formatted string specifier %ls but the argument is
installState which is not a string. These three lines throw the exception.
Change the format specifier to %d. Then the code runs to the end and gets the
path.
The resulting log is not very informative
[159C:153C][2014-04-23T10:52:09]i000: First call to MsiLocateComponentW, the
install state of x86 Word PIA: 3
You may want to make a subroutine which takes installState and converts it to a
string and then calls the BaLog message with the %ls formatter.
It is very easy to copy this code into a BAFunctions.dll and run it under a
debugger, without doing any special build of the wix 3.8 toolset.. There is a
sample at src\burn\samples\BAFunctions. I compile a Release build but set the
project properties to disable optimization and include debug symbols. Then
compile the bundle which includes the BAFunctions.dll, and then right-click the
BAFunctions project and tell it to start a debug session.
