Hi, I'm trying to install an application that was compiled using Visual C++ 2012. I followed the instructions here to install the merge modules that my application depends on:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_vcredist.htm After running the installer, I would expect to see the redistributable files including msvcr110.dll and mfc110.dll in my c:\window\System32 or c:\windows\SysWOW64 directory, but unfortunately they are not installed and because they are not installed my application doesn't run. My wxs file looks like this: <Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'> <MergeRef Id='Microsoft_VC_ATL' /> <MergeRef Id='Microsoft_VC_CRT' /> <MergeRef Id='Microsoft_VC_MFC' /> <MergeRef Id='Microsoft_VC_MFCLOC' /> ... </Feature> <DirectoryRef Id='TARGETDIR'> <Merge Id='Microsoft_VC_ATL' Language='0' SourceFile='msm\Microsoft_VC110_ATL_x86.msm' DiskId='1' /> <Merge Id='Microsoft_VC_CRT' Language='0' SourceFile='msm\Microsoft_VC110_CRT_x86.msm' DiskId='1' /> <Merge Id='Microsoft_VC_MFC' Language='0' SourceFile='msm\Microsoft_VC110_MFC_x86.msm' DiskId='1' /> <Merge Id='Microsoft_VC_MFCLOC' Language='0' SourceFile='msm\Microsoft_VC110_MFCLOC_x86.msm' DiskId='1' /> </DirectoryRef> If I install the Visual C++ 2010 merge modules by changing "110" to "100" above, then the Visual C++ 2010 redistributables are installed fine - I see files like msvcr100.dll and mfc100.dll in the System32 or SysWOW64 directory. I'm installing on Windows 2003 R2 and tried unsuccessfully installing both the x86 and x64 merge modules. The Visual C++ 2012 merge modules require MSI 4.5 so I already upgraded to MSI 4.5 on by Windows 2003 R2 test box. I've also tried both wix 3.6 and 3.7. In my log, I see this line using the x64 merge modules: MSI (s) (58:1C) [15:37:41:626]: Component: C_CENTRAL_mfc110_x64.4006A2C6_1BD5_3759_9C0C_17A8FFBF6E3C; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Null In the log above, action should be "Local" rather than "Null". Any suggestions? Thanks! Quoc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
