[wix-users] W10: ExecNetFx Compiling Assembly issues for Microsoft NetFx assemblies

[Tobias S]

Hi,

We have following issues when installing our products on some W10
Enterprise RTM Systems (Real + VMs).
- Time for NGening with errors approx 45 mins.
- NGen works sucessful on our own DLL's (not signed!)
- NGen not successful on referenced assemblies which come with the netFx
from Microsoft
- Got issue only on some W10 VMs + Real Systems
- W7 with NetFx 4.6 worked fine
- We use in WiX Config Prority="0" (WIX Default 3!)

     <netfx:NativeImage Id="ngen.$(var.Name)" Priority="0"
AppBaseDirectory="INSTALLDIR"/>

- When manually ngening only our assemblies without dependencies
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe install
/NoDependencies "<OurDll.dll>" /AppBase:"C:\OurInstallDir\\"
everything works fine
- Microsoft Logs for e.g. Visual Studio indicate they use IMHO Priority="3"

- Install Packages are: Custom c# BAL with WiX 3.8 and several included MSIs


Any Ideas?

Thanks for your feedback,
Tobias
