Well that didn't take long. I have been able to isolate the offending Windows Update that breaks my WiX bundle:
Security Update for the Windows Installer Service: August 12, 2014 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2918614) After installing this update I can no longer update from one bundle to the next. I'm not sure if this only affects bundles that were generated with WiX or if this is a general MSI issue after this update. The update replaces Msi.dll and other related binaries, so I'm guessing some change in there messes things up for us. The question is, which I hope someone can answer (Rob?), can this be resolved by a change in the bundle or product wxs, or does it require updating to a newer WiX version? Is it maybe fixed in 3.9 already? Or is it something Microsoft needs to fix on their end republish the windows update? I would file a Connect bug report for them but I can't really find any product that would be suitable to file MSI defects against. // Sascha On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 12:23 PM, Sascha Sertel <sascha.ser...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am having the EXACT same issue as described by Vikas, but I have reason > to believe that this breakage is caused by a recent Windows Update released > by Microsoft, because I tested packages that used to upgrade fine from one > version to the next (they are released in production and have been used by > customers without issues), and even those don't upgrade anymore. > > The errors in the main bundle log file are: > [1760:2DC0][2014-08-22T12:12:19]e000: Error 0x80070642: Failed to perform > minor upgrade of MSI package. > [1760:2DC0][2014-08-22T12:12:19]e000: Error 0x80070642: Failed to > configure per-user MSI package. > [1760:2DC0][2014-08-22T12:12:19]e000: Error 0x80070642: Failed to execute > MSI package. > > And in the specific MSI log file I see: > MSI (s) (A4:30) [12:12:19:495]: SECREPAIR: Hash Database: > C:\Windows\Installer\SourceHash{C5E60292-2E11-4FAE-883F-E548ECF032F7} > MSI (s) (A4:30) [12:12:19:496]: SECREPAIR: CryptAcquireContext succeeded > MSI (s) (A4:30) [12:12:19:676]: SECREPAIR: filename: Product.msi Stored > Hash Value:qifyrB1gltbWOyNTEPMp8gkQLOj80n1Vgs9hAkFUPeg= Current > Hash:ewxqrvKcJkUL0IxZgZeAoopceBPNACUkDakExnZTxbw= > MSI (s) (A4:30) [12:12:19:676]: Machine policy value > 'AlwaysInstallElevated' is 0 > MSI (s) (A4:30) [12:12:19:676]: User policy value 'AlwaysInstallElevated' > is 0 > MSI (s) (A4:30) [12:12:19:676]: MSI_LUA: Elevation prompt disabled for > silent installs > MSI (s) (A4:30) [12:12:19:676]: Note: 1: 3 > MSI (s) (A4:30) [12:12:19:676]: SECUREREPAIR: SecureRepair Failed.
