I am able to see the exported functions & the MSI if using __declspec(dllexport) instead .def but still the issue exists with release build not working while adding to .cub file

Check to see if any of those files are missing from the default path of your target machine. If they are, research to see what would be required to statically link to their libraries such that those dlls are no longer required. -----Original Message----- From: nagaram.c [mailto:nagara...@symphony.cc] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 9:59 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'; 'Blair'; ra...@symphony.cc Subject: RE: [WiX-users] getting win32 exception while running the newly added custom ICE The issue still exists for Release build, however works ok with debug build, below is the error log smoke.exe : error SMOK0217 : Error executing ICE action 'ICE900'.

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] getting win32 exception while running the newly added custom ICE The default build settings for native C++ code generation is to use the runtime DLLs that come with VS2008 (which are NOT resident by default in any OS). For Custom Action use, that isn't the build setting you want. Open the project properties dialog, navigate to Configuration Properties --> C/C++ --> Code Generation, select Debug in the Configuration drop-down at the top of the dialog, change the Runtime Library setting to "Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)", select Release in the Configuration drop-down at the top of the dialog (approving saving the changes in the confirmation dialog), change the Runtime Library setting to "Multi-threaded (/MT)", then hit Apply and OK. -----Original Message----- From: nagaram.c [mailto:nagara...@symphony.cc] Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2010 5:17 AM To: 'Blair'; 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] getting win32 exception while running the newly added custom ICE Is it at all possible that the new ICE900 test you wrote uses the C++ runtime DLL? In your C++ build settings you need to make sure you link to the static runtime library AND that you build Release (not Debug) for the version you run away from the developer's box. -----Original Message----- From: nagaram.c [mailto:nagara...@symphony.cc] Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 11:43 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] getting win32 exception while running the newly added custom ICE Hi, I am getting below exception to my newly added ICE, whereas the same works fine in the developer environment but fails in the tester environment, both are XP machines.
