Hi, first time using WiX.
I have a small program with just one Tool.exe and a manual.pdf and need to
distribute this with a simple installer. I have followed the WiX toolset
tutorial and the "Getting started" is pretty much all I need to start with.
I have successfully installed my product with shortcuts, uninstall from
App/feature and a file association.
The problem:
If I start the program from a associated file it starts fine but if I start
the program with Main.exe or its shortcuts I get a "Fatal error! Failed to
execute script main". But it works if I start it as Administrator. This is
not needed when I'm using the Main.exe (the one i put in the installation)
before installing it with .msi.
How can I fix this? I have googled a lot but can't find a solution. Maybe
it's something I need to do in my Main.exe instead?
