Does this crash happen at the end of the install? My users have reported a problem when upgrading today and I updated the build to 3.6.3206 yesterday and wonder if this is the same issue.

Subject: [WiX-users] Burn: WixStdBA crashes wih Access violation Hi, I'm working with the latest WIX version (v3.6.3206.0). Unhandled exception at 0x0FF45EE6 (wixstdba.dll) Setup.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000018. After downloading the symbols from Wixtoolset.org, Visual Studio pinpointed the exception to WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp, line 558: virtual STDMETHODIMP_(int) OnExecutePackageBegin( __in_z LPCWSTR wzPackageId, __in BOOL fExecute ) { if (wzPackageId && *wzPackageId) { BAL_INFO_PACKAGE* pPackage = NULL; HRESULT hr = BalInfoFindPackageById(&m_Bundle.packages, wzPackageId, &pPackage); LPCWSTR wz = (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pPackage->sczDisplayName) ? pPackage->sczDisplayName : wzPackageId; m_fShowingInternalUiThisPackage = pPackage->fDisplayInternalUI; // Error occurs in this line ThemeSetTextControl(m_pTheme, WIXSTDBA_CONTROL_EXECUTE_PROGRESS_PACKAGE_TEXT, wz); ThemeSetTextControl(m_pTheme, WIXSTDBA_CONTROL_OVERALL_PROGRESS_PACKAGE_TEXT, wz); } else { m_fShowingInternalUiThisPackage = FALSE; } return __super::OnExecutePackageBegin(wzPackageId, fExecute); } When I try to peek into the members of pPackage, the debugger says "Unable to read memory". I can peek into other objects without problems. The line in question was introduced in version v3.6.3130.0, and I guess it's missing a guard condition. If hr is E_NOTFOUND, pPackage will be null and the whole thing crashes.
