I've been having DTF bomb out from time to time on an otherwise alright installer. If I rerun the installer immediately, it works fine. I have 3 managed CA's in this installer, and once about every 10 times I run it, one of them fails.
For instance, I have a CA that builds up SQL queries with formatted strings, and instead of running successfully as it should, it blew up and I got this in the log: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MSI (s) (4C:EC) [17:13:48:656]: Doing action: FormatSqlScript Action 17:13:48: FormatSqlScript.

Return value 3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most times, I won't see anything in the log, other than "Return value 3." even though I wrapped my entire method in a try-catch statement. To me, it looks like the native wrapper is getting confused about the data going across it's named pipe and crashes out, but I'm hardly an expert on the inner workings. Just thought I'd bring it up, and see if anyone had any thoughts on this, and how to reduce the number of times it happens.
