Light uses the standard validation engine provided by the Windows Installer. That validation engine uses the actual Windows Installer to execute the tests. Your problems are all related to getting the Windows Installer service to run in your environment.
One way around the problems is to suppress validation (-sval) but then you won't be getting regular validation. -----Original Message----- From: Nord, James [mailto:jn...@nds.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 02:56 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ICE Errors in CI environment I get the following from msiexec with verbose logging.
