Thanks John for the investigation, it wasn't obvious to me before what the root cause was. So... what this means is, SfxCA just doesn't support subdirectories in the CA package. Perhaps I should have documented that limitation but honestly I think it was an oversight in the implementation and testing.
If someone really needs that capability, please log a bug on sourceforge. I know the DTF bugs have been piling up a bit recently, but I hope to dedicate some time soon to getting those cleaned up. -Jason- -----Original Message----- From: John Nannenga [mailto:john.nanne...@microsoft.com] Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 8:57 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MakeSfxCA and project output FDI Error code of 11 means user aborted; I found that interesting so I dug into this a bit... sfxca\Extract.cpp :: ExtractCabinet Comments note that the destination directory (szExtractDir) must already exist (and should be empty) sfxca\Extract.cpp :: FNFDINOTIFY... case fdintCOPY_FILE... pfdin->psz1 is the name of the file within the cabinet, including the 'folder name'. For this example, assume "Foo\File.txt" and the extraction directory is "C:\Extract" Then we get to this code... 1 size_t cchFile = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, pfdin->psz1, -1, NULL, 0); 2 size_t cchFilePath = wcslen(g_szExtractDir) + 1 + cchFile; 3 wchar_t* szFilePath = (wchar_t*) _alloca((cchFilePath + 1) * sizeof(wchar_t)); 4 if (szFilePath == NULL) return -1; 5 StringCchCopyW(szFilePath, cchFilePath + 1, g_szExtractDir); 6 StringCchCatW(szFilePath, cchFilePath + 1, L"\\"); 7 MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, pfdin->psz1, -1, 8 szFilePath + cchFilePath - cchFile, (int) cchFile + 1); 9 int hf; 10 _wsopen__s(hf, szFilePath, 11 _O_BINARY | _O_CREAT | _O_WRONLY | _O_SEQUENTIAL, 12 _SH_DENYWR, _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE); 13 return hf szFilePath becomes C:\Extract\Foo\File.txt Then the call to _wsopen__s (line 10) to that file path...well, the directory doesn't exist ('C:\Extract\Foo' [however 'c:\Extract' does]) and this function doesn't create it, so it returns failure and a -1 for "hf". -1 then is returned (line 13) which in this context, means user abort. Hence "SFXCA: Failed to extract to temporary directory. Cabinet error code 11." appears in the MSI log. -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Dwyer [mailto:shawn.o.dw...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 12:07 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.; Shawn Dwyer Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MakeSfxCA and project output Has anyone gotten this error when using DTF?SFXCA: Failed to extract to temporary directory.
