From 00efaa79faf713721893beac02877f6f0dd3de62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Rozman Date: Tue, 5 May 2020 15:40:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] installer: ignore light.exe internal error Wix Toolset introduced an issue beginning with the v3.14.0.3827 release. When linking merge module, the light.exe displays an internal error: ``` WixLink: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.14\bin\light.exe" -nologo -b o utput_dir="..\amd64\Release" -spdb -sw1076 -sw1079 -out "..\dist\wintu n-amd64-0.8.msm" "..\amd64\Release\installer-intermediate\installer.wi xobj" light.exe : error LGHT0204: ICEM10: The property 'ProductCode' is not al lowed in a Merge Module [C:\Users\Simon\Projekti\wintun\installer\instal ler.vcxproj] C:\Users\Simon\AppData\Local\Temp\xdyw3dnt\wintun-amd64-0.8.msm : error LGHT0204: ICE03: Table: Component Column: _IceM05Mark Missing specificat ions in _Validation Table (or Old Database) [C:\Users\Simon\Projekti\win tun\installer\installer.vcxproj] C:\Users\Simon\AppData\Local\Temp\xdyw3dnt\wintun-amd64-0.8.msm : error LGHT0204: ICE03: Table: File Column: _ICEM07CAB Missing specifications i n _Validation Table (or Old Database) [C:\Users\Simon\Projekti\wintun\in staller\installer.vcxproj] light.exe : error LGHT0217: Error executing ICE action 'ICE103'. The mos t common cause of this kind of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered scripting engine. See http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/error217/ for details and how to solve this problem. The following string format was n ot expected by the external UI message logger: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to compl ete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. ". [C:\Users\Simon\Projekti\wintun\installer\installer.vcxproj] The command ""C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.14\bin\light.exe" -nologo -b output_dir="..\amd64\Release" -spdb -sw1076 -sw1079 -out " ..\dist\wintun-amd64-0.8.msm" "..\amd64\Release\installer-intermediate \installer.wixobj"" exited with code 217. ``` This error is not a direct consequence of anything being wrong in our source code. Fortunately, the utility still produces identical MSM file as previous WiX Toolset versions do. Unfortunately, it exits with code 217. However, we need recent v3.14 for ARM64 support. I know this is a huge issue for our build system, masking out any other potential true error, but the light.exe exit code has been temporarily ignored.
