Hi, I have two products that install from a cd.
Both install and patch fine, but one of the products give ma a 1706 error only
in Windows 8 and asks for the original media source when I try to uninstall an
installed patch.
Once I selected the original media source the source gets rejected and the
installation fails.
The other product installs and uninstalls like a charm.
Both the product definitions like follow:
<Product Id="$(var.ProductCode)"
Name="$(var.ProductName)"
Language="1033"
Version="$(var.ProductVersion)"
Manufacturer="$(var.ProductManufacturer)"
UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)">
<!--Package Details-->
<Package InstallerVersion="405"
Compressed="yes"
InstallScope="perMachine"
Description="$(var. Description)"
InstallPrivileges="elevated" AdminImage="yes"/>
<!--Media-->
<Media Id="1" Cabinet="setup.cab" EmbedCab="yes" />
<Property Id="MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION" Value="1"></Property>
</Product>
And the Patch Properties :
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<?include ..\..\WixCommon\ProductSettings.wxi ?>
<Patch
AllowRemoval="yes"
Manufacturer="$(var.ProductManufacturer)"
MoreInfoURL="$(var.ArpUrlInfoAbout)"
Description="$(var. PatchDescriptionx64)"
DisplayName="$(var. PatchDisplayNamex64)"
Comments="$(var. PatchDescriptionx64)"
MinorUpdateTargetRTM="yes"
Classification="Update">
<!--The Id in the Media element must be greater than the
number of files in the
original image; it should also take files from previous
patches into account.
If you're authoring a second patch and the previous patch used
5000 as Id and
updated 11 files, then this number must be greater than
5011.-->
<Media Id="1608" Cabinet="setup.cab">
<PatchBaseline Id="RTM">
<Validate ProductId="no"/>
</PatchBaseline>
</Media>
<TargetProductCodes Replace="no">
<TargetProductCode Id="$(var. ProductCodex64)"/>
</TargetProductCodes>
<PatchFamilyRef Id="xxxxxX64PatchFamily"/>
</Patch>
<Fragment>
<!--When choosing family names, don't use the same names in
different products
except for creating updates that are intended to apply to
multiple products at once,
because they contain some shared features.-->
<PatchFamily Id="xxxxPatchFamily"
Version="$(var.ProductVersion)" Supersede="yes">
</PatchFamily>
</Fragment>
</Wix>
I did read about the AllowMediaLockdown registry setting and adding the setting
to the registry solves the source resolution problem thus telling me that for
some reason the source of that one particular product cannot be save.
I have been on this for a while now and cannot crack the reason why this is
happening to only one of the products on the cd.
Please help !!!!!
Thanks in advanced.
