Hi all. I am curently trying to create a working .msp with Wix v3
So far I followed the Wix v2 tutorial and created a .msp that is supposed to replace in file 'a.txt' the contents 'old stuff' by 'new stuff'. When I run msiexec '/l*v' PatchLog.txt /p patch.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus the client runs until it shows 'copying a.txt' and than stops responding. Hitting the Cancel button in the installer gui has no visible effect. After killing msiexec in the taskmanager the log file looks like: [....] MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:101]: Executing op: ChangeMedia(,MediaPrompt=Please insert the disk: ,,BytesPerTick=32768,CopierType=0,,,,,,IsFirstPhysicalMedia=1)^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:101]: Executing op: ChangeMedia(,MediaPrompt=Please insert the disk: ,MediaCabinet=PCW_CAB_Patch101,BytesPerTick=32768,CopierType=2,ModuleFileName=C:\WINDOWS\Installer\1fb8cd19.msp,,,,,I MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:101]: Executing op: CacheBaselineFile(Baseline=0,FileKey=a.txt,FilePath=C:\Programme\WASY\TEST 1.1\a.txt,,Existing=1)^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:101]: Note: 1: 2318 2: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed\CFF474C703D9DCED0B68B007801601F8\1.1.8\a.txt ^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:117]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=a.txt,SourceCabKey=a.txt,DestName=a.txt,Attributes=4096,FileSize=11,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,,,,,CheckCRC=0,,,InstallMode=58982400,HashOptions MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:117]: File: C:\Programme\WASY\TEST 1.1\a.txt; Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is unversioned and unmodified - hash doesn't match source file^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:117]: Source for file 'a.txt' is compressed^M InstallFiles: File: a.txt, Size: 11'>^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:117]: Re-applying security from existing file.^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:148]: Verifying accessibility of file: a.txt^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:179]: SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICY: Verifying object --> 'C:\WINDOWS\Installer\1fb8cd19.msp' against software restriction policy^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:179]: Note: 1: 2262 2: ^EDigitalSignature 3: -2147287038 ^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:179]: SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICY: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\1fb8cd19.msp is not digitally signed^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:179]: SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICY: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\1fb8cd19.msp is permitted to run at the 'unrestricted' authorization level.^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:179]: Note: 1: 2318 2: C:\Programme\WASY\TEST 1.1\a.txt ^M MSI (s) (8C:84) [12:04:22:179]: Internal Exception during install operation: 0xc0000005 at 0x750D5A0E.^M MSI (s) (8C:84) [12:04:22:195]: WER crash report failed (4).^M MSI (s) (8C:64) [12:04:22:195]: Note: 1: 2350 ^M DEBUG: Error 2350: FDI Server Error^M The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2350. The arguments are: , , So this somehow looks like the server process crashed and the client is still waiting for some kind of notification. Now, assuming the crash is not supposed to happen, what could I do to prevent it? Has anybody else seen such behaviour?
