[wix-users] How to troubleshoot AccessDenied outcome of a CustomAction

[Hoover, Jacob]

winerror.h -2147287035
#define STG_E_ACCESSDENIED
Access Denied.

I would use procmon and look for what is failing with access is denied. Better yet, I would avoid scripted CA's as they are fragile as compared to a native CA.

Subject: [wix-users] How to troubleshoot AccessDenied outcome of a CustomAction

Hello
We are having a CA with Return=Check and Impersonate=No properties. The CA actually invokes a PowerShell script to check installation status and install certain Windows Features. We are encountering failures in few runs with CustomAction outcome as -2147287035. We have tried looking in PowerShell and looks like script action were completed. Still, CustomAction outcome was failure with mentioned error code.
Is there a way to diagnose/troubleshoot as why CustomAction output is throwing failure? Please let me know if any more details needed on this scenario. ThxManish
