[WiX-users] ComPlusInstallExecute Error 0x80110414 on Windows 2000

I'm at the tail end of converting a large InstallShield install to WiX (3.5). Our application sets up several COM+ applications at install time, and I've used the WixComPlusExtension to do this. The COM+ apps install fine on our Windows 2003 development machine, but I get this "Failed to create a

I don't think there is an upgrade from v2.0 .wixproj to v3.x. Votive was very much experimental & unsupported in WiX v2.0. You're probably better off creating new .wixproj files in v3.5 as it's pretty quick to do. Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment Engineer T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (

Is the SQL script present only in the patch that is being removed ? If so, it won't work because the script is not visible to the installer when it is being uninstalled.
