[wix-users] problem with wix bundle installation

[Georg.Kellerer at lfu.bayern.de]

Hello Harald,

as a start command i use bundle.exe /l test.txt. in my good bundle I get a correct log file. In my not working bundle the same option has no effect and I get back to the command prompt without any error.

I followed your advice and started with a simple bundle adding step by step my code. Thanks to you i found my problem. I define variables to set properties from the command line to configure my msi package. I defined my variable like this:

<Variable Name="DBPORT" bal:Overridable="yes" Type="numeric" Value="0"/>

In my original code the value attribute of the variable was an empty string ("") and that lead to the problem. Interesting effect.

Thanks a lot,
Georg

Hello Georg,
to be able to help you some details would be nice.
What is the exact command line command you are using to start the bundle?
Have you tried with a new very simple bundle to get logs and then add the
VC++-Runtime and the MSI one by one?

Hello,

i am faced with a problem while authoring a wix bundle and hope you can
help me. I created to nearly identical bundles to distribute the visual c++
redistributables. The vc++-Runtine is bundled ogether with an msi package
that holds my software which should also be installed. One of my bundles
works as expected but the other did not start. I cannot see any diference
between the bundles. When I try to get a log of the bad bundle it does not
create a log file. There's no og file in my temp directory nor in the place
where I specified it with the /L option. So I think that the problem
happens at an very early stage. I tried the installation with and without
elevated previleges with no effect. Also the Windows 7 event log shows no
entry. Do you have an idea where the problem may be? My System: Windows 7,
vs2017, wix V3.11.

Thanks a lot for helping me,
Georg
