I'm building an updated version of an installation package [only the Crystal
Reports merge modules
have changed at this point ...] and I'm getting the following error:
light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a
call to a COM component.
Exception Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args)
Any thoughts on how to figure this out & fix it ... ?
Thanks in advance,

The documentation for ImsmMerge2::Merge wasn't exactly helpful
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369275.aspx):
Return Value
The Merge function returns the following values.
E_FAIL The merge failed catastrophically. This indicates an operational
error, and is not the normal error return for a failed merge.
Check that the path to the MSI and the path to the MSM are fairly short?
What does smoke say about the MSM? Can you open it with Orca?
If you have an on-access virus scanner, try disabling it temporarily or
asking it not to scan on writing the file?

OT, but I love that word...catastrophically. When functions in my
code fail, I generally don't relate them to cataclysmic events. :-)
Can you post some snippets of the module so we can have a look, namely
how the components are organized?

Hi Rob,
No offence taken - I'm just following orders from my boss, and I don't really
understand these technologies to such a level where I can make a call on what
is good practice or truly insance.
I do appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions, though :)
Cheers,
-Mike

Okay, I?ve been doing setup for about a ?decade now and this one pretty much
takes the cake.? You just made me smile.
?
Essentially what is going on here is that you?re using a build technology as an
installation technology.? That isn?t completely insane because both
technologies kinda? look like workflow.? However, it?s kinda? like using a
hammer on a screw.
?
Now, taking a build system and shoving it into an installation system with the
intent of having the build system do an installation (a hot fix none the less)
and simply using the installation system as the invocation method puts you
squarely in the world of insane.? Actually, I?d say really, truly crazy.
?
I say this with a big grin, so please don?t take it the wrong way.
?
?
My suggestion is don?t do what you?re doing.? It doesn?t make any sense and it
won?t work well.? Either use MSI or use your
?build-system-as-a-installation-system? but don?t try to mix them like this.?
Of course, going the other way, using a build system to create an MSI is
totally expected.? <grin/>

Yes - the product is a hotfix MSI.
?
All the hard work of moving files, copyin files, etc is done by Nant - we just
want to use WiX as the main GUI.?
?
My C# is pretty solid.? Do you have any examples or URLs that show what you are
suggesting?
?
Cheers,

Can you tell us exactly what you want this product to do? Is it?
actually leaving anything behind or is it only being used to run?
actions? How is your C#? You could write a wrapper instead of using?
a batch script that essentially accomplishes the same thing if you?
want a nice interface.?
