Brian,
had a look now, and there are some differences that seem important... most
importantly, the "Switching to server" line, and that showed me what the
problem was.
i had a registry search looking for a key that was a REG_MULTI_SZ that was
setting a property to tell me if a particular SQL Server instance was
installed. See below:
<Property Id="SQLSERVER">
<RegistrySearch Id="SQLServer" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Sql Server" Type="raw"
Name="InstalledInstances"/>
</Property>
<Condition Message="This application requires Microsoft SQL Server.
Please installl Microsoft SQL Server 2005.">
<![CDATA[Installed OR (SQLSERVER >< MSSQLSERVER)]]>
</Condition>
that works fine, but it seems like that public property gets set to a
particular value that screws up transferring the properties to the server.
my 32 bit installer, i had to comment this out as i don't have sql server
installed on the 32 bit machine! so i guess it might also be failing on a
32 bit machine too... changing the registry search to a different key
resulted in getting the install to work in all scenarios.
another interesting part of the log that caught my attention - theres a line
that gets added with all the properties that get passed to set up the
complus app (see below), and as part of that my actual password gets printed
out, even though i've set that as a secure property. not a major issue for
me, but could be for someone?
