The problem does not seem to be specific to an OS or virtual machine. I've seen this on WinXP and Vista all running without VMs.
Are there additional trace/log facilities that I could turn on to better debug this? | -----Original Message----- | From: Michael Bednarek [mailto:michael.bedna...@eu.citrix.com] | Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 7:29 AM | To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. | Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Managed code CA succeeds but still fails with 1603 | | Hi Bassam, | | You're right, it does sound related to the .NET custom action issue that I | posted about earlier in the year.
