It looks like it is failing because it is trying to query from two
tables, _AppMappings and Error, that don't exist in your MSI file. The
2205 error means the table does not exist, as does 2228 when querying
it. You may have to define these tables to get it to work properly.

Hi Jordan,
The MSI builds ok.
So you run it, go through the UI, the progress bar runs through as it
installs, then it fails saying "The installer was interrupted before ***
could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again."
Running the MSI generating a verbose logfile you get these entries...
MSI (s) (38:18) [20:44:40:250]: Doing action:
WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this

is 2769. The arguments are: WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties, 1,

I'll send the WXS to your personal email for your perusal.
Thanks
Chris

What errors did you get when you tried to build your MSI *with* the 3
CAs listed below?

Subject: [WiX-users] Reverse engineered VS2003 MSI
Hi guys
I've run DARK on a VS2003 MSI for a Web Service.
Using the WXS generated I've built a new MSI using CANDLE and LIGHT.
On first attempt it didn't work.
I discovered that it would work when I removed the following three lines
and then massaged the InstallExecutionSequence to cope with their
disappearance.
<CustomAction Id="WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties" Return="check"
BinaryKey="MSVBDPCADLL" DllEntry="GatherWebFolderProperties" />
<CustomAction Id="WEBCA_ApplyWebFolderProperties" Return="check"
Execute="commit" BinaryKey="MSVBDPCADLL"
DllEntry="ApplyWebFolderProperties" />
<CustomAction Id="WEBCA_RollbackApplyWebFolderProperties"
Return="check" Execute="rollback" BinaryKey="MSVBDPCADLL"
DllEntry="RollbackApplyWebFolderProperties" />
Build the MSI - it installs ok.
However...
It does not set the default document for the web application.
The custom table entry appears to be correct;
<CustomTable Id="_IISProperties">
<Column Id="Directory_" Type="string" Width="72" PrimaryKey="yes"
/>
<Column Id="Attributes" Type="int" Width="2" />
<Column Id="DefaultDoc" Nullable="yes" Type="string" Width="255"
/>
<Row>
<Data Column="Directory_"><![CDATA[TARGETDIR]]></Data>
<Data Column="Attributes"><![CDATA[594]]></Data>
<Data Column="DefaultDoc"><![CDATA[MyWebService.asmx]]></Data>
</Row>
</CustomTable>
<CustomTable Id="_VDirToUrl">
.......
</CustomTable>
<CustomTable Id="_UrlToDir">
.......
</CustomTable>
<CustomTable Id="_AppRootCreate">
......
</CustomTable>
<CustomTable Id="_VsdLaunchCondition">
.......
</CustomTable>
But it just won't set.
I could understand how the removal of the 3 custom actions above might
be causing this. But to be honest, unless I remove them, the MSI won't
run successfully.
I've read lots of mini-guides explaining to use WebSite, WebVirtualDir
and WebApplication. But they are all for WXS scripts started from
scratch. I'm trying to modify this VS2003 MSI so that I can preserve the
basic UI it already has in place.
Does anyone else have any experience of building customised WIX scripts
based on WXS extracted by DARK from VS2003 MSI's?
