Hi all, Installing the runtime from VS2005 SP1 using the merge module (yes, correct version) does NOT work on Vista while it works *perfectly* on 2003 server - both clean installs of the respective OS. Both OSes need the runtime installed for the program to run.
The install log on Vista indicates that the merge module dlls are being installed into a null directory. It just says that the dlls are installed in Directory: , Then trying to start the application produces an error that the runtime is not available. The Directory is listed using the same MSI file on 2003 server installation. Tried WiX 2.x and 3.x and same results. Used WiX binary distribution. I have created a very small program (one line command line) that shows this problem. You may download it temporarily from: http://www.zombino.com/temp/source.zip There is also an MSI of the binaries also available (2.2M) http://www.zombino.com/temp/test.msi If you cannot be troubled to extract the 1K source.zip, the files to the sources code in the zip file are: http://www.zombino.com/temp/source/main.cpp http://www.zombino.com/temp/source/main.wxs http://www.zombino.com/temp/source/Makefile You may need to adjust your paths to compile the example. The test is installed under Test of Program Files. Any ideas why Vista install is crapping out? - Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
