Hi all,
 
I have a problem with an installer I created with WiX that seems to crap out mysteriously right after the progress dialog pops up (almost instantaneously). 
 
A snip of the log (with options varp) at that spot looks like this:
 
Action 13:53:11: ProgressDlg. Dialog created
Action ended 13:53:11: ProgressDlg. Return value 1.
MSI (c) (A0:10): Doing action: ExecuteAction
Action start 13:53:11: ExecuteAction.
MSI (c) (A0:10): Grabbed execution mutex.
MSI (c) (A0:10): Incrementing counter to disable shutdown. Counter after increment: 0
MSI (c) (A0:10): Switching to server: TARGETDIR="C:\xxx\xxxxx\" IISINSTALLED="C:\WINNT\System32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe" LIBDIR="C:\xxx\xxxxx\xxx\" CURRENTDIRECTORY="C:\" CLIENTUILEVEL="0" CLIENTPROCESSID="34464" USERNAME="Administrator" COMPANYNAME="MyCompany" SOURCEDIR="C:\" ACTION="" EXECUTEACTION="INSTALL" ROOTDRIVE="C:\" SECONDSEQUENCE="1"  ADDLOCAL=Complete,MyFeature1,MyFeature2 
MSI (c) (A0:10): Back from server. Return value: 1603
MSI (c) (A0:10): Decrementing counter to disable shutdown. If counter >= 0, shutdown will be denied.  Counter after decrement: -1
Action ended 13:53:22: ExecuteAction. Return value 3.
MSI (c) (A0:10): Doing action: FatalError
Action start 13:53:22: FatalError.
Action 13:53:22: FatalError. Dialog created
Action ended 13:53:24: FatalError. Return value 2.
Action ended 13:53:24: INSTALL. Return value 3.
 
I don't get any logging from the server at all.
 
One other data point that might be relevant.  There is a CA in this installer that ran and apparently the first time the guy tried to run it, it rolled back possibly due to an error in this CA (not sure; didn't get a good log file).  Unfortunately, there was a bug in the rollback CA that cause it to crash too, which ended the installer at the fatal error dialog.  I'm wondering if that event might have corrupted some important state.
 
I'm planning to give them an updated build with a fixed CA and different package code to see if that helps.
 
Thanks in advance for any advice!
