As far as I know, error code 1603 is an indicator of "file-in-use" type of errors. Make sure you do not open the Xml file for read/write while installing. And here is the way to make WiX custom actions more "verbose": http://ysdevlog.blogspot.com/2009/02/extended-logging-options-in-wix-cus tom.html
Hope this helps. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: David Reed [mailto:david.r...@microsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 7:05 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Troubleshooting ExecXmlFile? This is all that I'm getting back from the install log: ----- Action 17:14:39: ExecXmlFile. CustomAction ExecXmlFile returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Action ended 17:14:39: InstallFinalize. Return value 3. Action 17:14:39: Rollback. Rolling back action: Rollback: ExecXmlFile ----- Needless to say, I'd like a little more detail... ;-) Is there any way to tell XmlFile to feed me more? I don't see a verbose-flag type attribute on the element. I think I see the path problem in the property set line of the log, but it'd be nice to have more than just "Bummer, dude." from the component to help me out. :o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
