[wix-users] e000: Error 0x80070057: Failed attempt to download update feed from URL: '' to: ...

The WixToolset setup uses a web-based application syndication deployment model, which means that the computer you are running the wix setup on must have Internet access so that the bundle can get the 'feed' and the needed packages from the distribution servers used by wixtoolset.org.  The error messages are indicating that the Internet access is blocked for some reason due to your network configuration.  Running the wix setup with the -? switch will explain your options.


Using the -layout switch (with the optional path) --at a different computer which DOES have Internet connectivity, will allow you to download a folder tree of the required files, without actually installing on the pc.  Then you can move that folder tree to the computer which is giving you these errors, and run the setup without needing to also have an Internet connection.


bundle.exe -layout c:\SomeFolder


IIRC v3.10.2 had a bug that made -layout not work in some scenarios and other issues.  I recommend that you only use v3.10.3 or later.

Hello,
has anyone an idea under which circumstances the following log messages
is written and how to avoid it?

[10E4:2780][2017-02-04T18:33:54]e000: Error 0x80070057: Failed attempt
to download update feed from URL: '' to:
'C:\Users\Danny\AppData\Loca\Temp\UpdateFeed_20170204183354.xml'
[10E4:2780][2017-02-04T18:33:54]e000: Error 0x80070057: Failed to
download update feed.
[10E4:2780][2017-02-04T18:33:54]e000: Error 0x80070057: Failed to detect
atom feed update.
[10E4:2780][2017-02-04T18:33:54]e000: Error 0x80070057: Failed to detect
update.

I tested it with both the v3.10.2.2516 and the v3.10.3.3007. In both
cases, these messages are in the log.

Danny
