[wix-users] Simple bootstrapper crashing

[Arnette, Bill]

I have a VERY simple bootstrapper built with Wix 3.8 that crashes immediately on Windows 7


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?define msiPackage=$(var.ProjectDir)..\MySetup\bin\$(var.Configuration)\MySetup.msi ?>

<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
     xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension">
<Bundle Name="InterviewerBootstrapper" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Me" UpgradeCode="59e67001-a9fa-4ce6-8520-69c4d7d7c17d" >
      <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" >
      </BootstrapperApplicationRef>
      <Chain>
         <MsiPackage Id="MainPackage"
                     SourceFile="$(var.msiPackage)"
                     Compressed="no"
                     Description="My app"
                     DisplayInternalUI="yes"
                     DisplayName="My app"
                     >
         </MsiPackage>
      </Chain>
   </Bundle>
</Wix>


The interesting this is that the log shows the Burn version as 3.10.2?!

I have tried ProcMon to see where Light may be pulling Burn.exe from but that doesn't show anything.   Is it embedded in WixStdBa.dll?

What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Bill
