Hi,
I try to install a XML file through my WiX Installer.
On WinXP i have no problems.
On Windows Vista (Business Edition), client in a Win2003 AD network, i have
some strange problems;
- Installing as a domain administrator gives no problems.
- Installing as a local administrator gives an error; installation fails.
- Installing as a local or domain user with restricted rights gives an error;
installation fails.
- Installing with elevated rights / run as gives an error; installation fails.
(With the exception of Run As domain Administrator)
In all cases where the installation fails the following error appears:
'Failed to open XML file WInsad.xml, system error: -2147024786'
The logfile shows:
MSI (s) (18:E0) [12:50:19:270]: Running as a service.
MSI (s) (18:E0) [12:50:19:317]: Hello, I'm your 32bit Elevated custom action

The following piece of code is what i use in WiX:
<!-- ===== WInsad.xml = License file ===== -->
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component Id="WInsad.dat" Guid="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx">
<File Id="File_WInsad.dat" Name="WInsad.dat" DiskId="1"
Source="$(var.MyApplicationSourcePath)\WInsad.dat" Vital="yes" />
</Component>
<Component Id="WInsad.xml" Guid="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxy">
<File Id="File_WInsad.xml" Name="WInsad.xml" DiskId="1"
Source="$(var.DrumisApplicationSourcePath)\WInsad.xml" Vital="yes" />
<XmlFile Sequence="10" Id="Winsad.xml_License"
File="[INSTALLDIR]WInsad.xml" Action="createElement" Name="License"
ElementPath="//WInsad" />
<XmlFile Sequence="11" Id="Winsad.xml_LicenseType"
File="[INSTALLDIR]WInsad.xml" Action='setValue' Name='type' Value='Demo'
ElementPath='//WInsad/License' />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
<!-- Features -->
<FeatureRef Id="MainFeature">
<ComponentRef Id="WInsad.dat" />
<ComponentRef Id="WInsad.xml" />
</FeatureRef>
The initial WInsad.xml file is installed on the targetsystem before the error.
It initially looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<WInsad>
</WInsad>
The WiX version used in Wix-2.0.5213.0
Am i doing something wrong or is it something with Wix-2 / Vista?
The InstallerVersion in the Package is set to "200", the InstallerPrivileges is
set to "elevated".
Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Albert van Peppen
