I've never seen a log file be inaccurate as to what happened. And I've never seen a log file give the same info for files that are installed versus not installed. Look for the logging of the Component. For the Components that do not get installed does it say Action: Null? See the example below of two identical files that are installed (Action: Local) or not installed (Action: Null) depending on a condition I have set.
MSI (s) (88:EC) [09:04:46:359]: Component: ExceptionReport1099rox; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Null MSI (s) (88:EC) [09:04:46:359]: Component: ExceptionReport1098rox_26; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Local -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Blankley Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 10:58 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in xml not being installed Chad: Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the files that fail to be newly incorporated spit out the exact same info as files that were part of the original msi. What's also weird is that there seems to be no consistency to this. Other files are added fine (but not in that directory). dir names are unique. Other ideas?
