Digging deeper I also found this in the build logs Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Msi.Interop.MsiInterop.MsiCloseHandle(UInt32 database) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Msi.MsiHandle.Dispose(Boolean disposing) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Msi.MsiHandle.Finalize()
I don't mind debugging this, I am just not exactly sure how to. Is there a way to get the PDBs associated with a build, or to force a crash dump when this happens? -----Original Message----- From: John Bergman [mailto:john.berg...@xpedienttechnologies.com] Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 7:59 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] TFS Build Unhandled Exception in, apparently WiX I have started getting this message periodically, and have not been able to determine why. I have verified that the user account as full rights to the temp directory (I would expect nothing else); anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this? The real problem is that it doesn't happen consistently. We are using Wix 3.6.1518,0, and have been since the week it was released. This problem has just started within the last couple days. I searched around and have not been able to find anything like this in the bug database.
