I'm working in Wix v3, and I've got a conditional component that is supposed to
install a certificate when the property CERTIFICATEPATH is set, but I'm running
into problems because InstallCertificates seems to be called regardless of
whether the component with the certificate is installed. InstallCertificates
then fails installing with the invalid data. This seems like a bug that
InstallCertificates is being called even though its component was not supposed
to be installed.
The component definition:
<Component Id="CertificateComponent" Guid="MY-GUID" KeyPath="yes">
<Condition>Installed OR CERTIFICATEPATH</Condition>
<iis:Certificate Id="SSLcertificate" Name="MySSLCertificate"
CertificatePath="[CERTIFICATEPATH]" Request="no"
PFXPassword="[CERTIFICATEPASSWORD]" StoreLocation="localMachine"
StoreName="personal"/>
</Component>
It looks like the installer decided it doesn't need to install the component:
MSI (s) (88:74) [09:19:35:063]: Component: CertificateComponent; Installed:
Absent; Request: Local; Action: Null
But then the InstallCertificates action is still called with the certificate
data from that component (tries to resolve "SSLCertificate") and the
installation fails (see below log).
If I remove the component from the package entirely, everything goes OK.
