[wix-users] Problem with BA crashing

[Phill Hogland]

Generally I believe that an uncaught exception in a release build of the managed ba dll will have this result.  I would enable the fusion logging, or create a debug build and step into the mba.

If you choose to debug into it pass the following command line argument

-burn.clean.room=<path to the bundle.exe>


Also  Burn v3.10.2.2516 is known to have issues so I would suggest upgrading to v3.10.3(Stable)

Hi,
I have a problem with installation on a client PC with Dutch system. Client has installed new clean OS. When the client tries the installation, setup crashes. Here is the log file:

The next line should be: Detect begin ....
but that does not happen. Anyone knows why is this happening?
Thanks,Goran
