You can get into all sorts of pain identifying logical cores vs physical

If you log the installation it'll probably tell you what the "[2]"
argument is. It might also be shown in the Windows Event Viewer.
You'll probably find one of the your <"Publish Event=***" items is
wrong. If you can't get anything out of a log, try removing those items

Starting with Vista the WinSxS runtime assemblies aren't committed until

You could try doing this with variables instead of localised strings.
If there are a lot of these variables then you could put the command

I'm seeing an occasional issue using DifxApp, which a log reports as:
DIFXAPP: INFO: ENTER UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices...
DIFXAPP: ERROR: RETURN UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices. (Error code 0x3FD:
Cannot create a stable

In earlier versions of Windows Installer, the Files In Use dialog wouldn't be
shown if WI couldn't
find a window associated with the file/app. I think the theory went that it's
confusing to ask the
user to close a program they can't see running. This can be a problem if you
have any programs
You also probably shouldn't refer to the Program Files folder by name, because
it might not be
called that (especially on a non-English OS). It's better to use the
ProgramFilesFolder and
ProgramFiles64Folder properties. You can use these as the Id for a Directory
element.

Depending on what exactly is broken you might be able to get things into a
working state again just
by running a repair first.

I appear to be looking at the same problem. I was able to reproduce it by
hitting 'cancel' near the
end of an uninstall and letting it rollback. After that uninstallation failed.
Performing a repair
fixed things. Did you email the difx team at the email address Quinton
suggested, and if so
Use a directory with an Id of 3RDPARTYPROGRAM_PATH. When the property with the
same name gets
updated so will the directory path.

Create the default directory structure as you normally would in WiX and set the
id of the
configurable directory to 'installpath'. When the user overrides installpath
on the command line,
it will change that directory to point at the new path.

So I finally got this working and thought I'd best post the reply here for
other people having the
same issue. Specifically, the dirver I'm installing is a file system driver.
Here's my INF file:
