Originally I created a bundle (with Wix 3.7 and the WixExtendedBA) which I later converted to use Wix 3.8 and the BAFunctions. I also compiled a debug version of Wix 3.8 which my project links too. By setting a break point in the BAFunction.DLL I can step into the Wix 3.8 burn engine code and see what is going on.
Now I have decided to replace the BA/BAFunction.dll with a MBA. Using the Wix 3.7 installer MBA as an example I created my MBA application. Now that I have hooked it into the bundle I am getting an Assert in strutil.cpp StrAllocString() on line 277 Assert(ppwz && wzSource); While I can launch a debug build and step through my MBA, I did not find anyway to step from there into the Wix code so that I can determine why this assert is happening. If I click on Ignore in the Assert message, the bundle runs to completion and there are no entries in the verbose log that would indicate any problem with any string. If I click on Debug in the Assert message the application terminates. When stepping through the MBA the Assert pops up in MyClass::Run() when the code to 'create the UI' is executed. Specifically at MyMBA.View = new RootView(viewModel); I am still trying to learn the basics of MVVM so any pointers on how to debug this situation would be appreciated. Thanks! (I am using VS2010 on both Win7_x64 and Win8_x64). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-MBA-how-to-debug-strutil-cpp-line-277-Assert-tp7589279.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
