Greetings,
I just got bitten by this problem after updating to latest weekly
release of WiX.
Turned out to be the wixproj file not having the default Platform
property specified, which is easily fixed by adding:

So it looks like MSBuild defaults to AnyCPU even though I didn'
You need to launch the msp using the command line and the properties

double clicking on it you need to add something like the following to your wix
sources so that those property values will get assigned automatically
In all likelihood, your problem is that your CA is being modularized when
compiled, but maybe not to the standard you're expecting. If you look at
your .msm in Orca, you'll see the actual name it's been given. I believe
you can suppress the modularization if that's your wish. Or you can at

Can you show the authoring as well? Unfortunately, that's a very generic error

Hi,
While Installing , I am passing One Data base server name along with One
property. But while uninstalling, It is giving error because it is looking for
data base name. So I want to save the value of the property so that I can use
the same on uninstallation.

Hi Michael,
I am actually creating the folder into which I place the .mdf and .ldf
files for SQL Server as a part of the install, and those directories are
definitely getting created. However, I found a clue on a the following

The only thing I can see from decoding that error is that you are trying to
insert Null values into a column. Has the schema changed? I converted the

My suspicion is that the folder structure created by SQL2008 is different to

Is there a need to actually set the paths to these folders? If you dont set

Hello,
I am new to WiX. I am trying to install the tool in MS Visual Studio 2005
Professional on a two different new systems.
I did install Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and the security updates for SP1 on each

I installed the following files:

That's irrelevant. It's like saying "my code worked on XP why doesn't it work

You can't nest MSI installs like that. See the archive for discussions about
