Hi Ryan, It seems not be a compile error. in facts its a validation error after the compile.
In my opinion everything is fine and you can use the produced msi. WiX seems to use "FormattedSddl" as category for this column in the validation table. But thats wrong, the correct one should be "FormattedSDDLText". http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd407935(v=VS.85).aspx Regards, Fabio On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 7:59 PM, Ryan Wilkerson (OPSMGR) < ryan.wilker...@microsoft.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am hitting a compiler error with PermissionEx and I'm hoping someone here > can provide some insight. > > <RegistryValue Id="R_OverrideVal" Root="HKLM" Key="[REGISTRYPATH]" > Name="[name]" Type="string" Value="[value]" > > <PermissionEx Id="permission" Sddl='D:(A;OICI;KA;;;SY)' /> > </RegistryValue> > > error LGHT0204 : ICE03: _Validation table: Invalid category string; Table: > MsiLockPermissionsEx, Column: SDDLText, Key(s): permission > > I looked here: > http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_permissionex.htm and saw > that this is only usable with MSI 5.0, so I set InstallerVersion="500". > Still no success compiling. > > The way I read the compiler error, it sounds like my SDDL string could not > be converted to FormattedSDDLText, but the one above has worked in prior > applications. > > I am using WiX 3.0.5419. > > Does anyone have any insight into this problem? > > Many Thanks, > Ryan Wilkerson > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances > and start using them to simplify application deployment and > accelerate your shift to cloud computing > http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev > _______________________________________________ > WiX-users mailing list > WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
