I have a project that builds fine in the IDE and was initially building fine on
my tfs build agent host via the tfs automated msbuild .proj file processing.
Something mysterious has happened with the tfs build agent host tfs automated
msbuild .proj file processing and now I'm getting a wix project build error
with the following signature.
light.exe : error LGHT0217: An unexpected external UI message was received: The
Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows
Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for
assistance.
The command exited with code 217.
Done executing task "Light" -- FAILED.
Done building target "Link" in project "Setup.wixproj" -- FAILED.
I looked up details of others who have run into this and found
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=0B18C0B86D271D4AA0D50008AD76CBFA33426E%40IPDMBZ0465MIA.citrus.com
which referenced http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/06/07/3151752.aspx
which both discussed carrying out the following commands to correct the issue.
reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}
/f
reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{F414C260-6AC0-11CF-B6D1-00AA00BBBB58}
/f
cmd.exe | Run as administrator | regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll &
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\vbscript.dll
After having done that and tried a reboot still no change. Any thoughts on
what else I can try to restore my tfs automated msbuild .proj file processing
support?
