Re: [WiX-users] Cannot install Wix - Wix39.exe

Thanks all for your answers, I think you're on the right track. I installed Wix fine about a month ago on my work PC here and wrote an installer package and finished it. I went to reinstall Visual Studio 2013 and noticed the installer would not launch neither from the file system or from Control

[WiX-users] Cannot install Wix - Wix39.exe

Trying to install Wix and I get the same failed log file for wix38.exe, wix39.exe and wix40.exe. I also noticed that I can't run any setup.exe's that were created with wix. Visual Studio 2013 setup.exe gives me the same errors. Any one have any ideas on what to check on a system with this behavi

Re: [WiX-users] WSX file contains extra files?

I'm no Wix expert, but I can guarantee someone who is needs to see your source code. VS is complaining about your .wxs file and no one will be able to help without seeing your code. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WSX-file-contains

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Verifying of chained Exepackages

Sean, I was able to get your suggestion to work perfectly, and it is FAST! Steps I performed in case anyone needs this info: 1) Used WinRAR to build a self extracting SFX archive for my install package that contained 3600 files. I set the setup.exe with all my quiet install/suppress reboot switc

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Verifying of chained Exepackages

Thanks Phill, I tried your recommendation of defaulting to cache=yes and added the ParallelCache to the chain, but Burn just seems to take forever verifying and copying the 3600 files still. I think I'm going to have to abandon Burn and just write a C# app to execute the 3 setup packages sequent

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Verifying of chained Exepackages

Thanks for your reply Rob, I did some analysis: Of the 3 chained exepackages I am installing, 1 sticks out like a sore thumb because it has so many files in it. It has 3600 files (mostly small ones) and is a total of 146mb in size. Further analysis of the log file shows that Verifying these 3600 f

None of the boxes I install on have internet connectivity. Is that a problem? I also have made attempts to go to the hash verification. >From my attached project, here are examples from my Heat generated Payload group: -- View this message in context: http://windows-

[WiX-users] Slow Verifying of chained Exepackages

I have written a bootstrap project that chains 3, 3rdParty installers together. All 3 installers are executed and install fine by Burn, so this is good. The problem I'm having is the incredibly slow performance of the "Verified existing payload:" section in the logs, before the files are actual
