This isn't a direct WiX question but there may be something that I am missing in the WiX code that can avoid this. I notice in the log towards the end if the installation process it looks like:

MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Specifed source is already in a list. I looks like the installer is trying to write to a registry path started by UNKNOWN. Is there something in the WiX code that generates this .msi that would cause this that I can avoid? Also, how can I interpret the 'Note 1: 1402'? I see this throughout the install log and I am just curious as to what it means. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
