[wix-users] Bug: Install fails on XP in WixSchedInternetShortcuts

[Bob Arnson]

The custom action code was built with the XP toolset and actually begins to execute but crashes in what appears to be an innocuous API call. Please open a bug; it needs more research and debugging.

I don't think so. It is scheduled in exactly the same place when using either 3.9 or 3.10. Using InstEd to look at the msi shows there are 4 CAs associated with the WixCA binary - and WixSchedInternetShortcuts is the first one to have run.

My suspicion would be that the DLL may have been compiled in a non-XP valid way (not sure what to look for, but using PEDUMP, I can see that
wixca.dll(wix9) was linked with v12.0 and wix10 was with v14.0).
