[wix-devs] BurnRunner implementation sometimes hangs on pipe.Write()

Tue May 14 16:53:45 PDT 2019

@Rob<mailto:rob at firegiant.com>, that hang you mentioned the other day caused by COM being uninitialized – would that only cause a hang with there is a burn pipe connected from another process? From your description, it sounded like it would always hang even without a progress listening process.

Just wanted to follow-up on this -- I'd be happy to answer if any further information is needed.

Thank you,

We also still have bundles using burn 3.7 + my targeted DLL injection fixes that were later ported to 3.9 or 10 way back.

I hate to say this but for the actual run, we use different versions that
we are not in control of. Some are using 3.10, 3.11, many minor versions.
I can give you the versions that I've seen so far though. Some of them
include v3.10.2.2516 and v3.11.1.2318.
