I was looking at a log of one of my installers while poking around with something in the InstallUISequence & noticed that the longer it sits in the InstallUISequence, the bigger the log file became. Looking through the log I found there are repeated instances of "Note: 1: 2727 2: " throughout it so I ran a new clean instance to log & went quickly through the dialogs from the WelcomeDlg through to the VerifyReadyDlg. The log looks like the following:

Log is generated using /l*vx which as far as I know is the highest level of logging available. If I click Install on the VerifyReadyDlg it'll end the WelcomeDlg action & start the ProgressDlg which stops the above log spam. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this continual spam in the log? As you can see from the above it starts before I've even clicked Next on the WelcomeDlg to get to the LicenseAgreementDlg. MSDN says a 2727 error is "The directory entry '[2]' does not exist in the Directory table." which makes no sense as there is no value for 2: as you can see above. This installer does nothing fancy what so ever. It uses WiXUI_Mondo totally unmodified, doesn't consume any of the Visual Studio merge modules etc. All it really does is put a load of data files on the users system & sets a registry value to it's INSTALLLOCATION so our application can find them. It has no ICE warnings at all & has passed the Windows 7 & 2008 platform certification tests (tested by myself first & an external company for Microsoft Partner program certification). It's not a major issue or even a trivial annoyance, just interested/concerned as to why it's happening.
