hello, im trying to use wix 3 to generate msi-packages dynamically. my first attempt was to use heat something like
heat.exe dir /path/to/folder -out mywix.wxs -template:product -gg and then i replaced all the placeholders (this was more of a first test). candle.exe ran fine after some initial tweaking, but light gave me the following error: light.exe : error LGHT0217 : An unexpected external UI message was received: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738. my initial commandline was just light.exe file.wixobj -out file.msi i tried adding <UIRef Id="WixUI_Minimal" /> to the code and -ext WixUIExtension -culture:en-us to the commandline resulting in the same error. my second attempt was to manually generate the whole wxs-file (using heat just for .exe and .dll files for all the gooey typelib details etc). but the same error occured. the wxs-file is huge in either case so i can't really include it in the mail, but could anyone please give some pointers as to where i can start looking? i tried searching the mailinglists, but can't find any mention of this error. regards, lars ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
