It seems to be Windows checking for existing products (I think reading rather than writing) and 1402 is just the boring MSI error "Could not open key" beause of system error 2 ("no file"). It's likely to be "unknown" because at that point in the logging it doesn't know (or care) whether it's referring to the per-user's installed products or the system's, one being in HKCU the other somewhere like HKCR.

Subject: [WiX-users] Installer question. What does UNKNOWN and Note mean? 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]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=PublishProduct,Description=Publishing product information,) MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Executing op: CleanupConfigData() MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-21-484763869-1993962763-1801674531-3563\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1\Patches 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Executing op: RegisterPatchOrder(Continue=0,SequenceType=1,Remove=0) MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1\Patches 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Executing op: ProductPublish(PackageKey={3339230E-FA27-4A24-B887-EF30441391C7}) MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Executing op: UpgradeCodePublish(UpgradeCode={529189FE-FD0E-44FF-8DA6-B4FB5CC7A78B}) MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Executing op: SourceListPublish(,,,,NumberOfDisks=1) MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Products\B83F86C8F37076D4AB308F355B532FE1\SourceList 3: 2 MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Executing op: ProductPublishClient(,,) MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Executing op: SourceListRegisterLastUsed(SourceProduct={8C68F38B-073F-4D67-BA03-F853B535F21E},LastUsedSource=C:\Temp\) MSI (s) (10:E8) [09:03:36:243]: Entering CMsiConfigurationManager::SetLastUsedSource. 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 *** Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including any associated or attached files, is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
