[wix-users] WiX v3.10.2 Important Security Fix Release

[Rob Mensching]

Andreas,

First, make sure you're running a supported .NET Framework: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2015/12/09/support-ending-for-the-net-framework-4-4-5-and-4-5-1.aspx

If the issue still happens in a supported .NET Framework, open a new Connect bug.

Apparently the old Connect bug (listed below) is ignored since it's open against unsupported products.

Looks like a long standing bug in WinForms: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/806981/adddlldirectory-and-setdefaultdlldirectories-causes-crash-in-windows-forms-application

Hi Everyone,

today we upgraded our bootstrapper(s) from 3.10.1.2213 to 3.10.2.2516. The new compiled bootstrapper can´t be started on Win7 and Server 2008 operating systems (Vista, Win8.1, Win 10 works). I get the following exception:

System.ArgumentException: Font '?' cannot be found.   
bei System.Drawing.FontFamily.GetGdipGenericSansSerif()
   bei System.Drawing.FontFamily.get_GenericSansSerif()
   bei System.Drawing.SystemFonts.get_DefaultFont()
   bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.get_DefaultFont()
   bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.get_Font()
   bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.AssignParent(Control value)
   bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection.Add(Control value)
   bei System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutControlCollection.Add(Control control, Int32 column, Int32 row)
   bei .InstallDialog.InitializeComponent()

We double checked this issue to get sure that the only difference is the new version of wix. Can anyone imagine how the new version can cause this issue?
I´m not sure if the issue is only related to the operating system or a combination of OS and installed .Net framework version.

Thanks in advance!
