Hi I've been trying to get WiX to install some COM+ components for me and have thus far failed miserably to get it to work. I've looked at the tutorial and googled, binged, etc extensively but I am no further forward on day 4 than I was on day 2 so I seek your help.
I exported TypeLibs from my .NET 1.1 components ( strong-named ) and followed the example in the tutorial [ http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson6.php]. If I drag and drop the components into a COM+ package they register correctly - if I run RegSvcs on the component they register correctly. They do contain COM+ configuration information in their AssemblyInfo Class. However, using WiX, I have not been able to get the components to install. Here is my WiX file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:complus=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/ComPlusExtension";> <Product Id="406d427d-15c0-44fb-add4-5c8c4ddfb568" Name="Epms Store Installer" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Atos Origin Uk Plc" UpgradeCode="1f4da752-1fe8-4057-aa42-d1d42fcc801b"> <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" /> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="StoreInstaller.cab" EmbedCab="yes" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="WixProvingDir" Name="WixProvingDirectory"> <Directory Id="ePharmacyComponentDir" Name="ePharmacy (R3.2)"> <Directory Id="ePharmacyConfigurationDirectory" Name="Config"> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <DirectoryRef Id="ePharmacyConfigurationDirectory"> <Component Id="Store.Common.Config" Guid="EA49030A-D488-489d-B8F2-69353935B876"> <File Id="Store.Common.Config" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <DirectoryRef Id="ePharmacyComponentDir"> <Component Id="Epms.Store.Common" Guid="54AA84F7-4758-4b59-96DD-B1B4A3BB783E"> <File Id="Epms.MiddleTier.Common.dll" Name="Epms.MiddleTier.Common.dll" Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" /> <complus:ComPlusApplication Id="ePMS.R3.2_Id" Name="ePharmacy.R3.2"> <complus:ComPlusAssembly Id="Epms.MiddleTier.Common.dll" DllPathFromGAC="yes" RegisterInCommit="yes" Type=".net" TlbPath="[#Epms.MiddleTier.Common.tlb]"> </complus:ComPlusAssembly> </complus:ComPlusApplication> </Component> <Component Id="Epms.Store.Components.tlb" Guid="41C315E8-0BDA-4476-BE9A-18696C360332"> <File Id="Epms.MiddleTier.Common.tlb" Source="Epms.MiddleTier.Common.tlb" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="Store_Installer" Level="1"> <ComponentRef Id="Store.Common.Config"/> <ComponentRef Id="Epms.Store.Common" /> <ComponentRef Id="Epms.Store.Components.tlb" /> </Feature> </Product> </Wix> The log contains the following information about why this has failed: ComPlusInstallExecuteCommit: ExceptionInfo: Code='0', Source='System.EnterpriseServices', Description='Could not install type library 'C:\WixProvingDirectory\ePharmacy (R3.2)\Epms.MiddleTier.Common.tlb' into application 'ePharmacy.R3.2'.', HelpFile='', HelpContext='0' ComPlusInstallExecuteCommit: Error 0x80020009: Failed to invoke RegistrationHelper.InstallAssembly() method ComPlusInstallExecuteCommit: Error 0x80020009: Failed to register .NET assembly ComPlusInstallExecuteCommit: Error 0x80020009: Failed to register assembly, key: Epms.MiddleTier.Common.dll ComPlusInstallExecuteCommit: Error 0x80020009: Failed to register assemblies ComPlusRollbackInstallExecute: ExceptionInfo: Code='0', Source='System.EnterpriseServices', Description='Could not find application 'id={12fb473d-e3bc-44a5-90a4-212735500c4c}'.', HelpFile='', HelpContext='0' ComPlusRollbackInstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to invoke RegistrationHelper.UninstallAssembly() method ComPlusRollbackInstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to unregister .NET assembly ComPlusRollbackInstallExecute: Failed to unregister assembly, hr: 0x80020009, key: Epms.MiddleTier.Common.dll Can you help? I tried to install several COM+ components at once and ended up with some problems there but even just pulling it back to the one component seems to be problematic.
