An update to my original post to say that I reproduced my error by creating
a small solution with a .NET 4 code project and a .NET 4 CA project, and I
built it on a 32-bit build server with WIX 3.5.2110. The error seems to say
that the installer was built via a newer runtime than is available at

Right, sorry if it wasn't clear when I first said that. PackageCode is more

Hi,
As part of an upgrade from Wix 2 to 3.5 the following is no longer working:
as it gives: error LGHT0204 : ICE03: Invalid format string; Table:
Environment, Column: Value, Key(s): OURPROD_TGT_PATH.GUID_HERE
I found posts online saying to escape the brackets so [ becomes [\[]
and ] becomes
Thanks! I replaced the Package ID with the old Module GUID and deleted
the Module GUID, and Wix seems to have kept the same module signature.
It looks like the Package ID wasn't being used anywhere as long as
there was a Module GUID so it doesn't matter that the Package ID
changed.
Thanks again!

Checkout an example at:

This module ends up having a signature of:
IsWiXAddInMM.68061036_B1D9_4092_AD3B_DC569F3DD183 1033 1.0.0.0
and a package code of: {68061036-B1D9-4092-AD3B-DC569F3DD183} every time it
builds. This has
Yes, what I was trying to say is that WiX v3 uses the Module Id along with the
Package Id to create the Module.GUID you see in the ModuleSignature table.
Just build your old, tweak it up and build the new and you'll see they are the
same in Orca if you did it right.

Hello,
We’re upgrading our build system from Wix 2.0 to 3.5 and are now
getting the following warning:

Package/@Id attribute instead.

Hi,
I'm trying to do a major upgrade of a product which was installed
per-user but which installed files into ProgramFilesFolder. The
previous installer was authored using the Visual Studio Deployment
project and defaulted to a perUser installation (with the option of
installing perMachine) - but
Setting MigrateFeatureStates means that you want to do an upgrade where the
features that get installed are exactly the same as the features that are
already installed. It usually doesn't make sense to set that and then set
features in a UI dialog.

Ok, but Ruby's 'installer' is an .exe, not an MSI, should I still try
to run a bootstrapper (never tried before) or can I get by with

I would suggest the use of the wix
element provided you know the (partial) name of the file(s) that you
want to have removed. The On="uninstall" will ensure that the remove
only happens if the parent component is removed.
