I'm using WiX 3.6.2221.0 (beta) and found that if I create a component
that only has RemoveFile elements, an error and stack trace are displayed:
candle.exe(0,0): error CNDL0001: Cannot set column 'Component' with a
null value because this is a required field.
Exception Type: System.InvalidOperationException
Stack Trace:
at
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.ColumnDefinition.ValidateValue(Object value)
at
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Compiler.ParseComponentElement(XmlNode
node, ComplexReferenceParentType parentType, String parentId, String
parentLanguage, Int32 diskId, String directoryId, String srcPath)

at
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Compiler.Compile(XmlDocument source)
at
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Candle.Run(String[] args)
The source is similar to:
<Component>
<RemoveFile Id="app.exe" On="both" Name="app.exe" Directory="SomeFolder"/>
</Component>
I guess something should be catching the error sooner?
