Thanks Rob for your response.
Your comments about path problems with cygwin, gave me a hint, so I got this
to work on a command prompt, the paths to candle and light had both forward
and back slash in my wix driver app, using back slash consistently fixed the
problem. We do our builds using cygwin and I still have the problem with
getting this to work in cygwin, but I should be able to figure that out, we
have utils to handle the windows and linux path separators.
Another quick question I had was whats the replacement for <UIRef Id="WixUI"
/> ?
With 3309, I had this tag within the <Product> tag and linked with
wixui_mondo.wixlib, with 4820, I am linking with wixui.wixlib and get the
following error with using the <UIRef> tag.
error LGHT0112 : Unresolved reference to
symbol 'UI:WixUI' in section 'Product:225454C0-F159-491C-8CE7-BC035678C315'.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Light Exception with Merge Modules
I think I remember problems with cygwin bash shell (or something like that)
messing with the load of mergemod.dll. Also, do make sure you have
mergemod.dll next to the rest of the tools. that *should* be that way but
good to check. <smile/>

Subject: [WiX-users] Light Exception with Merge Modules
I create MSIs through the use of merge modules. I have been using Wix
version 2.0.3309 for a while now and have not had any problems generating
the MSIs, I have tried a few times to upgrade to later versions of Wix. I
have tried 3719 and now 4820. With both the latter versions, The MSM
generation looks fine, but I get the following error during the final light
phase when it attempts to create the MSI from the MSM.
light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Retrieving the COM class factory for component
with
CLSID {F94985D5-29F9-4743-9805-99BC3F35B678} failed due to the following
error:
8007007e.
Exception Type: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
Stack Trace:
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.MergeModules(String
databasePat
h, Output output)
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output)
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args)
I think I have seen some prior posts about installing Orca and registering
mergemod.dll to fix this problem. I have done both and I can find the CLSID
above in the registry as a registered COM object. Still get this failure.
What else is needed to get this to work ?
Thanks for your responses,
