You can validate with Orca or, if you want an automated solution, you can use smoke.exe from the wix tool set to validate the MSIs sequentially in a build.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Light.exe failing with error 1719 Peter, thanks for the quick information. Also when you say "do validation somewhere else", can light.exe do it again or is there some other tool which can do it. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: 22 September 2009 18:52 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Light.exe failing with error 1719 The event log entry is added when light calls the windows installer service to perform ice validation. I imagine that, just as you can't run the execute sequence of several installers at once, you can't run several validations at the same time either. I searched and found this thread that seems to support this. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=A00CB80DE3F3D1429D 317D978E4B8FE14063747B48%40NA-EXMSG-C125.redmond.corp.microsoft.com Adding -sval to your light command lines will prevent the error, but it's advisable to do validation somewhere else if you do. -----Original Message----- From: Kiran Kumar Kolli [mailto:kiran.ko...@microsoft.com] Sent: 22 September 2009 13:59 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Light.exe failing with error 1719 In our builds we are seeing occasional failures such as follows 2>e:\v7sp2\private\source\common\sku\oslomergemodules\partner\1>e:\v7sp2 \private\source\common\sku\oslomergemodules\partner\loc\en\light.exe : error LGHT0217 : An unexpected external UI message was received: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.

The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance. In our build environment there can be multiple light.exe running in parallel. When we build each one individually we are not seeing any issues. Also while light.exe is executing its adding few event-log entries like "Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: . Product Version: . Product Language: . Installation success or error status: 0." Can someone help us understand what's happening here and how to fix this issue. Build machine: Windows Server 2008 SP1.
