This is the registry key used to populate the
NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENTINSTALLROOTDIR property. Can you verify that the
registry key is set propertly on the XP box?
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client
InstallPath
Also in your verbose installation log you should see the property being set
during the AppSearch action. Can you confirm?
Also, you should have a PropertyRef for that property in your authoring
(i.e. adjacent to your Component include this element: <PropertyRef
Id="NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENTINSTALLROOTDIR" />) to ensure that the property will
be setup in your MSI.

Subject: [WiX-users] Problem with EventSource on XP
I'm having a problem with getting an EventSource to work correctly on XP,
the same install works fine on Win7.
<Component Id="ApplicationExe" Guid="*">
<File Id="mergefarms.exe"
Source="$(var.MergeFarms.TargetDir)$(var.MergeFarms.TargetFileName)" />
<util:EventSource Log="SnapPlus" Name="SnapPlus"
EventMessageFile="[NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENTINSTALLROOTDIR]EventLogMessages.dll"/
>
</Component>
Is how I have it setup. The problem on XP is that the registry entry for
the eventmessagefile comes out as plain old "EventLogMessages.dll". It's
supposed to tack on the .NET 4 path and be
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\EventLogMessages.dll. On
Win7 it does come
out with the full path. This is causing the annoying message about a
missing event messages.
The rest of the WiX install looks to be working. I do have the
WixNetFxExtension and WixUtilExtension
on my setup project and the xmlns: set at the top. I did go back to my
clean XP build and installed
.NET 4.
Is this a problem on XP or am I missing something? Thanks --Dirk
