Yes, all of the Exit macros should log. That's why verbose log files are so useful for us. We get almost a "stack trace" to the exact failure. At this point, I think you should switch to suspecting the Windows Installer on this machine. Is it possible that the ::MsiProcessMessage() is causing the whole thing to blow up? That does end up as a cross process call I believe so it could be something screwy on the machine that's causing the failure.

Subject: [WiX-users] NetFxScheduleNativeImage and logging I've been trying to figure out a problem with NetFxScheduleNativeImage in WiX V2.0.4820. I've been looking at the source code and I thought that all of the ExitOnFailure(hr, "Some error message") calls were just dropping the error message. I got that idea from looking at dutil.h which defines ExitTrace to be nothing. Now, I just realized that wcautil.h overrides that so that ExitTrace calls WcaLogError. Could someone confirm that if NetFxScheduleImage in WiX v2.0.4820 hits a line like: ExitOnFailure(hr, "failed to schedule NetFxExecuteNativeImageInstall action"); and, hr contains an error, the message *should* be written to the msi log, right? Since I'm not seeing any of messages in the log, I'm looking for a code path that fails without calling ExitOnFailure, right? I've compared much of the relevant code in v2.0.4820, v2.0.5805 and v3.0.4721 and I don't see any significant differences so, if it should log something in v3.0.4721, I think it should log it in v2.0.4820. I have the code path in SchedNetFx narrowed down to the area between the end of the loop and the call to WcaFinalize and in that space, two MSI Record handles are created and closed. That could be the call to WcaProgressMessage and a call to WcaLog but, I don't get a message in the log file.
