[wix-users] Uninstall Failure - 0x800700490 (Element Not Found)

Wed Jun 15 11:23:56 PDT 2016

Horrific bug.  The following call during an uninstall caused OnDetect( ) to fail which essentially terminated the install flow.

hr = BalGetStringVariable(L"WixBundleSourceProcessPath", &sczValue);

The log is from WixStdBA when clicking the link.  This issue is recently introduced because the uninstall was working.  So, it appears that OnPlan( ) is not getting triggered during an uninstall but I am not sure why.

Your Bundle is using 3.10.2 which had some known issues which have been fixed in 3.10.3.  This log doesn't show any failures in the bundle, is the failure in a CA in a MSI? Are you certain this is the right log file?  Are you using WixStdBA (logs indicate you are)?  If it is WixStdBA, is this the log from clicking on the link in the error message?

Don't be nervous at the length, but I'm going to ask that you paste the entire log here, and ask one more question.  What exactly are you trying to Detect, ie, a previous install of your product, Office, some other app etc?  Provide us with a bit more context
