This was answered in the VC8 timeframe (http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/02/13/building-an-msi-using-wix -v3-0-that-includes-the-vc-8-0-runtime-merge-modules.aspx). In VC9, the same issues exist.
I am currently writing a WiX extension that will suppress the ICE warnings from known places like the Visual Studio runtime merge modules during your builds (allowing you to focus on your own ICE violations without simply turning off validations). -----Original Message----- From: kathik.shenoy [mailto:karthik.she...@robosoftin.com] Sent: Sunday, July 19, 2009 9:55 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Suppress warnings from VC9 msm's Has anyone successfully merged the VC9 msm's with their installer without getting a ton of warnings from WiX? I'm just curious as I'm getting a ton of warnings, most of which don't worry me too much (issues with the length of IDs), and some that do a bit (sequence clashes - duplicate sequence numbers). Is there anything I can do to fix these? Some of the warnings I have: LGHT1055 - InstallExecuteSequence table contains an action 'SxsInstallCA' which cannot be merged from the merge module ... also for 'SxsUninstallCA'. tons of LGHT1076: ICE03: string overflow ... LGHT1076: ICE82: This action SystemFolder.21022.08.Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.RTM.013... has duplicate sequence number 2 in the table InstallUISequence ... sim for AdminUISequence ... sim for AdvtExecuteSequence. I'm including both the CRT, MFC and ATL MSMs. Regards, KPS ----------------------------------------------- Robosoft Technologies - Come home to Technology Disclaimer: This email may contain confidential material.
