Ahh, dude, your MSI (it does look like it is running the already installed
version) is accessing that file for some reason and can't find it. Can't
decipher much more than that from the log file.

It doesn't crash, but it does present this error: Error 1316. A network error
occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\EHS\alec\dev\CTEB.tmp
Note - this is running locally. Log attached.

What do you mean by the install "crashes with an error message"? Installations
shouldn't crash. They may error out but crashing is a really scary thing.
The best thing is to get the logging registry key set to get a log file for the
A.msi.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX v3 setupbld.exe question
Hi All,
We're using setupbld.exe to chain two MSIs together (the first one say A.msi
spec'ed with -mu, the second B.msi with -mus). This works fine, except we're
testing the scenario where the user might try and run the setup.exe more than
once.
B.msi has some code to detect and prevent re-installations, but A.msi (which is
3rd party) does not. When I run A.msi by itself, it crashes with an error
message, so it seems that the combined .exe version is suppressing this. I
tried re-specing with -mus for A.msi as well in order to show any embedded UI
it might have, but again it fails silently. I tried turning on global MSI
logging via the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\windows\Installer\Logging =
voicewarmupx!) but it doesn't show up there either...
Is there a way to debug this combined setup.exe (to confirm that this is in
fact what's causing the problem) or is this a known limitation?
Thanks,
Alec
