Re: [WiX-users] Odd failure of XmlFile in wix-2.0.4221.0

We started out today by logging the file accesses and came up with some odd results that we're not sure what to make of... If you interpret the "good" log file, you see that three different msiexec processes access the file one after the other. However, the "bad" log file shows that one of the proc

Well, I'm out of ideas. Here's some of the things I've tried... 1) Made sure that I was running the installer as administrator. 2) Made sure that the file was in DOS/Windows format by converting the file. Tried several variations of this including passing it through a perl script and cutting/pas

Yeah, I miscopied it. Our resident Windows guy knew the trick about converting to Hex (I'm mostly a Linux/Java guy, so I was totally unaware of that.). The code in hex is 0x8007006E. He thought it might be two processes trying to access the file at the same time, but I'll check up on the

You're missing a digit from that error number. It should have ten digits to map to an error HRESULT. I normally convert large negative numbers back to hex, then if the upper WORD is 0x8007, I know it's a Win32 error code mapped into an HRESULT (FACILITY_WIN32 is 7). The error return of XmlLoadDocum

At the risk of spamming you all: I asked one of our guys here, and his guess is that two processes are trying to access the file at the same time... I'm trying to figure out how that could be as the only custom action related to it is SchedXmlFile... I guess that figures out where to sequence E
