Hi All. Thanks for answering. Your support is very appreciated.
I came to the same conclusion - looks like there are tables below in CrystalReports .msm file which WIX complains on, but these tables are improperly defined. By default WIX sees them, but with EnsureTable it failes somewhere with reading/validation and threats this as no table. I can't fix this. So I switched on using Crystal Reports MSI redistributable module. Please note - MSI not MSM. For this purpose I completely changed definition of .wxs file where I assemble all components. Now it looks like this: -------------------------- <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension"; xmlns:netfx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/NetFxExtension";> <Bundle Name="Farms with Crystal Reports" Version="4.1.8.10" Manufacturer="Local Land Services" UpgradeCode="01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF"> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.CR" /> <Chain> <PackageGroupRef Id="PackageGroup1" /> </Chain> </Bundle> <Fragment> <PackageGroup Id="PackageGroup1"> <MsiPackage Id="ReportsPackage" Cache="no" Compressed="no" DisplayInternalUI="yes" Vital="no" SourceFile="..\RIMS\3rd Party Code\CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm" /> </PackageGroup> </Fragment> <Fragment> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="FARMS" > </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Fragment> ... -------------------------- As you may see above I'm trying to use bootstrapper. The problem is with lack of related documentation with examples on this case. Currently I got stack with: >>Error 3 Unresolved reference to symbol >>'WixBootstrapperApplication:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.CR' in section >>'Bundle:Farms with Crystal Reports'. I saw examples with WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense and some other kinds, and I'm curious - is it some predefined type of app available? I don't have any rtf or whatever, just need to run this stupid reports msi package - first or last, does not matter. -= I really appreciate any help with right format of the bundle definition for installing my features and this msi. =- My features I was defining are: ---------------------------- <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="SetupFARMS" Level="1" > <ComponentGroupRef Id="FARMSBin.OCX" /> <ComponentGroupRef Id="FARMSBin.ThirdParty" /> <ComponentGroupRef Id="FARMSBin.CR" /> <ComponentGroupRef Id="FARMSBin.Components" /> </Feature> ---------------------------- Thanks a lot, Dmitry Nechaev -----Original Message----- From: Carter Young [mailto:ecyo...@grandecom.net] Sent: Wednesday, 12 March 2014 12:26 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ICE03 or "Unresolved reference" Those Merge Modules have NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY. I can't even get those to work in VS2005. I have an app still on .NET 2.0. If you complain on the SAP Forums, SAP states that "the tool we use internally" to compile them "passes validadation," but they never tell you what that tool is... As such the recommended course of action is to download CR2008 Runtimes SP5 for VS <=2008 or the new plugin architecture for >=VS2010. If you could figure out how to fix these, I sure would appreciate it...
