[wix-users] Question about adding NetFx 4.5.2 to web-based mba - and 3.10.3 test report

Fri May 27 09:49:09 PDT 2016

Thanks Bob for the info.  I will try specifying:
<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx452Redist" />

with:
<PayloadGroup Id="NetFx452RedistPayload">

The wix 3.10.3.2924 setup just finished after 4 hours 10 minutes of the votive msi updating vs2013 and vs2015.  This was the second try on this PC.  While it took a while on our other build server it did not seem to take that long.

MSI (s) (A0:88) [06:20:19:675]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=VS2013Setup,ActionType=3186,Source=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe,Target=/setup,)
MSI (s) (A0:88) [08:20:25:576]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=VS2015Setup,Description=Updating Visual Studio 2015 registration,Template=[1])
MSI (s) (A0:88) [08:20:25:577]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=VS2015Setup,ActionType=3186,Source=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe,Target=/setup,)
MSI (s) (A0:88) [10:31:30:290]: Executing op: End(Checksum=0,ProgressTotalHDWord=0,ProgressTotalLDWord=7805465)
MSI (s) (A0:88) [10:31:30:293]: Note: 1: 2265 2:  3: -2147287035

2265 is Could not commit storage. System error: [3]. [Access Denied]  which is interesting since the setup was launched in the context of a fully privileged member of the Administrators group.  I also made sure that I did not use this PC or try to do any development work for the 4+ hours while the setup was running.  I'm not sure that there is anything further to be learned from this situation, I just share the details in the event that it is useful.

Thanks again! Phill

Good to know.  Flop the Id's around to match.

The e-mail below is from an external source.  Please do not open attachments or click links from an unknown or suspicious origin.

That's a doc bug indeed. (And I discourage the use of the Web redist; it actually downloads more bytes than would be downloaded for the full redist.)

Subject: [wix-users] Question about adding NetFx 4.5.2 to web-based mba - and 3.10.3 test report

In a thread a week or so, Bob provided this helpful comment:
I wrote about it in the doc: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/redistributables_and_install_checks/install_dotnet.html (step 3)

Since my mba requires NetFx 4.5.2 I followed the steps detailed, except that in step 2, I have been using:
      <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx452Web" />

 Is it intentional that in the example NetFx45Web is specified yet the included payload is NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe ?  (or is there a defect in the doc?)

When I specify NetFx452Web and NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe, the result is that on a Windows 7 SP1 x86 without any additional .Net entries in the ARP and without a network connection, my mba's prereq setup is launched and it tries to install .Net 4.5.2, but after a long delay it fails.  The error message indicates that it cannot find the file NDP452-KB290194-web.exe.

I am currently trying to install WixToolset 3.10.3.2924 which has been sitting on 'Updating Visual Studio 2013' since yesterday, and I tried to cancel and retry it with the same behavior.  So whenever I get my development environment back to functional I will try to recompile the project:
1) using exactly as documented: NetFx45Web
2) or try to include the payload that it cannot find - but then I am not sure if including a web payload makes sense.

Any advice is appreciated!
Phill
PS:  Other than difficulty getting the votive portion of the 3.10.3 setup to complete on my development system which has VS2010/2013/2015 and maybe parts of 2012, we have 2924 installed on our main build server (and we had the prior 3.10.3RC installed).  I have not come across the attached container issue with or without these updates.  I removed my workaround for the -layout issue and have tested those changes successfully.  I have not noticed any other issues in the many bundles we are building and testing.
