[wix-users] Executable filename seems to be repeated as the first argument of the ExePackage execution (bootstrapper)

[Edwin Castro]

I *think* what you're seeing is standard and normal behavior. I think the
arguments is the actual command line that is getting executed and not
arguments to append to the path.

The log says your process returned error 0x65b which according to
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/debug/system-error-codes--1300-1699-
corresponds
to ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILED - Function failed during execution.
