Setup:

Windows 7 64-bit (fully patched)

Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate

WiX 3.5 build 2430 (latest weekly)

 

I've recently noticed a problem with all my WiX projects.  Trying to
build after a change or after a clean, I get a set of ICE errors.  So
rebuilding always gives me these errors and following up with a build
always fixes them.  Here is an example set of errors:

 

--------------

Error executing ICE action 'ICE08'. The most common cause of this kind
of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered scripting engine. See
http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for details and how to
solve this problem. The following string format was not expected by the
external UI message logger: "The installer has encountered an unexpected
error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this
package. The error code is 2738. ".

 

Error executing ICE action 'ICE09'. The most common cause of this kind
of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered scripting engine. See
http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for details and how to
solve this problem. The following string format was not expected by the
external UI message logger: "The installer has encountered an unexpected
error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this
package. The error code is 2738. ".

 

Error executing ICE action 'ICE32'. The most common cause of this kind
of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered scripting engine. See
http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for details and how to
solve this problem. The following string format was not expected by the
external UI message logger: "The installer has encountered an unexpected
error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this
package. The error code is 2738. ".

 

Error executing ICE action 'ICE61'. The most common cause of this kind
of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered scripting engine. See
http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for details and how to
solve this problem. The following string format was not expected by the
external UI message logger: "The installer has encountered an unexpected
error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this
package. The error code is 2738. ".

After getting these errors, I can 'build' again and the errors go away
and the MSI is built.  It's pretty annoying.  I've tried re-installing
WiX.  I've also tried re-registering the scripting engines (although I
don't think that is a problem-I'm not doing any scripting).  So any
ideas?
