Wix is allowing me to create msi files with a large number in the fourth version index (6-digit numbers, i.e. 111111).
I'm trying to use burn to create a bootstrapper which bundles my wix installer. When I include an msi in the bundle which has a fourth version index greater than 65535 (16-bit unsigned) I get MSI parsing errors when executing the bootstrapper. No error pop-up is displayed, the only indication of the parsing error in in the Setup log file. Parsing errors in the Setup log file appear as follows: [25C4:25D0][2014-06-09T14:24:10]i001: Burn v3.8.1128.0, Windows v6.3 (Build 9600: Service Pack 0), path: C:\Users\ejcarpen\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Bootstrapper1\Bootstrapper1\bin\Debug\Bootstrapper1.exe, cmdline: '' [25C4:25D0][2014-06-09T14:24:10]e000: Error 0x8002000a: Failed to parse @Version: 1.0.0.65536 [25C4:25D0][2014-06-09T14:24:10]e000: Error 0x8002000a: Failed to parse MSI package. [25C4:25D0][2014-06-09T14:24:10]e000: Error 0x8002000a: Failed to parse packages. [25C4:25D0][2014-06-09T14:24:10]e000: Error 0x8002000a: Failed to load manifest. [25C4:25D0][2014-06-09T14:24:10]e000: Error 0x8002000a: Failed to initialize core. This is reproducible by building an empty setup project with version 1.0.0.65536 and adding it to an empty bootstrapper project Is there a way around this issue? Is it a bug or expected behavior based on MS version handling limitations? I find it strange that wix allows me to build MSI files that the wix bootstrapper can't parse Thanks, -- -Ed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
