While reading through the engine.cpp (and related) code, I modified my implementation to provide a text file in the payload group, so that there was nothing ambiguous (as there may have been by using the empty PayloadGroup). (I also discovered the usefulness of reviewing the bundle-manifest.xml file when 'do not delete temporary files' is selected.)
With the added text file as a payload, the project compiles successfully, however when the bundle is launched, the first Payload listed in the UX element of bundle-manifest.xml, is now displayed in an error box which says "Failed to load UX DLL". In both implementations the failure point is in userexperince.cpp (line 99) in UserExperienceLoad. It seems to try and so a LoadLibrary on every Payload regardless of whether the Payload file is a DLL or not. The docs do not indicate that a Payload can only be a DLL and in fact it is common to have XML, wxl, and png files. Is this a bug, or and I just pushing an edgecase? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/PayloadGroupRef-to-import-fragments-Bundle-fails-tp7596356p7596360.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
