Hi folks,
I'm using WiX 2.0.5805.0 on Windows XP and facing a crash of light.exe
when using Merge Modules and Shortcuts together. If I omit the Shortcut
definition everything runs fine.
The error message from light.exe is:
light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Beim Aufruf einer COM-Komponente wurde ein
HRESULT E_FAIL-Fehler zurückgegeben.
Exception Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
Stack Trace:
bei Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.IMsmMerge2.Merge(String
feature, String directory)
bei Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.MergeModules(String
databasePath, Output output)
bei Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output)
bei Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args)
You'll find the simple test program to reproduce this behaviour attached.
