Bad set of boxes or IIS behaving badly. There are reports of IIS not always working correctly on simple Metabase writes. Not very helpful, I'm sorry.

By reading the event viewer log I would tend to think this is an IIS issue and not an installer issue. I am not sure how can the installer be badly authored, all we are using for dealing with IIS are the native WIX CAs. The error comes from the below CA <CustomAction Id="StartMetabaseTransaction" Return="check" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" BinaryKey="ScaExecute" DllEntry="StartMetabaseTransaction" /> Also this only happens in 2% of the boxes, and it works fine after a reboot of the box. The rest of the boxes, and we are talking about 1000s seem to work fine. The setup of the web site has not changed for at least a 2 years and we never got this issue. Could it be a bad set of boxes? thanks > Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:01:10 +0200> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: > wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] (no subject)> > > 2008/10/29 Andres Juarez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:> > Hi there.> >> > We are > running a MSI in W2K3+Sp1, and we get the error below.> >> > Is anyone > familiar with this error?> >> >> > MSI (s) (00:B8) [16:37:35:138]: Executing > op: > CustomActionSchedule(Action=ExecXmlFile,ActionType=11265,Source=BinaryData,Target=**********,CustomActionData=**********)MSI > (s) (00:04) [16:37:35:138]: Invoking remote custom action.
