My experience is that: 1. WMI custom actions can be unreliable in the MSI context. I don't know why, but they are error prone. 2. AV products often disrupt VBScript code. 3. If a VBScript has a syntax/runtime error it's reported in the log in some detail, down to line number and column. 2896 is an unusual error to get - VBScript failures are typically 1720, so AV might be the culprit.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] VB script CA fails only on my laptop your custom action execution failed. you can use 'm MSIProcessMessage' to insert log messages in msi log file. Use this function in your custom action code to debug exactly what is failing on your system. use following command to create logs - |msiexec /i your_installer.msi /l*v logs.txt Sanjay Rao |Andy.Kruger wrote: > I have sequenced following VB script CA in the InstallDirDlg that validates > the Install path entered by the user. > > <CustomAction Id="ValidePath" Return="check" VBScriptCall="Main" > Property="VALIDATEPATH"/> > > > And on the "Next" button, > > <Publish Event="DoAction" Value="ValidatePath">1</Publish> > > I had no problems running the CA on any computers so far but on one single > laptop, the moment installer hits the VB script CA during install, it fails > with error code 2896 (from the debug log) > > I have checked the WMI services and upgraded the Windows installer service > to 4.5. > But no luck. > > Any ideas???
