[wix-users] Error: A program required for this install to complete could not be run

Hi Jerome,

Can you provide the code you're using to try and set the various *_VSIX_INSTALLER_PATH properties?  My guess is that you're setting the one specific to a given version of VS, but then failing to set the generic property.

Subject: [wix-users] Error: A program required for this install to complete could not be run

Hello all,

I am getting the following error when installing a package:

Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action:
vim22196F3C0E37041DC83B636B8CC2863E, location: , command: /q  "C:\Program Files (x86)\My Package\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\My Package.vsix" /admin

It seems the VSIXInstaller.exe is found but not set properly:

MSI (s) (6C:DC) [10:31:12:369]: Executing op:

The actions to look for the wsix installer are executing,setting VS2015_VSIX_INSTALLER_PATH and then not VS_VSIX_INSTALLER_PATH.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Jerome
