What version of the WiX toolset are you using? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Isaac Guenard Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 14:51 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Problem using Merge module for MFC71
I am creating a simple test installer for our application, to see if it is worth pursuing Wix as our installer platform instead of Installshield. So far things have been going well. However, when I try to add Merge modules for our MFC requirements, I end up getting this 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 Stack Trace: at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.IMsmMerge2.Merge(String feature, Strin g directory) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.MergeModules(String databasePat h, Output output) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args) ------------------------ Specifically I am using VC_User_MFC71_Loc_RTL_X86_---.msm for my test. (one of the required libraries). I can't make head or tails of the problem. Does this look familiar to anyone? This is essentially my test installer below.
