I've read your review. There are numerous emails regarding issues with calling
the HeatDirectory task in MSBuild and having it error out when the wrong
architecture-based MSBuild is called. I think there is a mixup in the task
itself but that is just a guess.

Is it possible for the default bundle behaviour to run an uninstall for an

ordinarily this would be rather rude, but ... This is because I've got a

Thanks for the suggestions, Stephen. I dug a bit deeper, found the cause of
the problem, and updated the original issue I mentioned:

The issue is likely to be the same as other attempts to reference
user profile locations (temp folders, app data folders etc) for an
account that doesn't have them, that's my understanding.

There are restrictions on calling logging from a DoAction event, the
underlying MsiProcessMessage call doesn't work. The documentation is
rather poor and probably incorrect in some ways, so I'd ignore the

I have a custom action that when called as a check in the InstallUISequence
writes data to the log file via session.Log stmts. But when a different method
in the same custom action is called from a dialog then none of the session.log
stmts are written to the log.
Here is how the custom action

Hello,
I recently tried setting up a build agent that runs MSBuild to build a
simple WiX setup package. The build agent runs as a Windows service that
runs under the LocalSystem account. I consistently received the following
error:
HarvestDirectory:
..\..\Tools\WiX\Heat.exe dir ..\..\Build\WiX\
It's a very easy mistake to make, but when an action isn't working, it's the
first thing one should check.

Hi everyone,
I am still confused about what is going on with this: a testing machine (which

Yes I know but due to the nature of my custom actions I don't want them fail.
For example one sends some statistical information to a a server and I know
that some times this will fail due to firewall issues . I am however using
session logging and showing any error information in the log file.
It is essential that managed custom actions have an [CustomAction] attribute
for each method call that will be used as a custom action. E.g.,
[CustomAction]
Public static ActionResult DoSomething(Session session)
{
// code here
}
By having the Return attribute set to "ignore", the errors that

they have certainly put me on the right path - my installer now does create
