Yes, these values exceed the default 72 characters permitted in the KeyPath column of the Component table (I'm taking this value from schema.msi from the Windows Server 2003 R2 SDK). I don't have SP1 to hand; in the RTM build, the 'downlevel_manifest.GUID' component didn't have the version number embedded. I think the actual string it's trying to set is:
reg_downlevel_manifest.8.0.50727.104.9BAE13A2_E7AF_D6C3_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E which I believe is 73 characters. It probably seemed like a good idea before modularization occurred (which is what adds the GUID to the end of the identifier, IIRC). I'm not sure what effect this will have. It's possible that the KeyPath data will not match the corresponding identifier in the Registry table (depending on whether this is also truncated) and therefore that either repair will fail (because it doesn't detect that the key path is missing) or that it will always repair when an advertised shortcut is run (because it can't detect that the component is installed). You'd have to experiment to see what occurs. The Visual C++ team should fix this to have a shorter identifier. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christer Solskogen Sent: 18 December 2006 12:32 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] New ICE warnings with new merge modules We've just installed the new fancy Visual Studio 2005 SP1, and also started using the merge modules that came with it.
