MapXtreme 6.8.0 MSM Problems

Reply Threaded

Hi all!
I am unable to create an installer that installs the merge modules for
MapInfo's MapXtreme 6.8.0. There are a total of 4 merge modules that I
need to install:

MIFonts_6.8.0.msm
MapInfoCoreEngine_6.8.0.msm
MapInfoDesktop_6.8.0.msm
MapInfoMXTConfig_6.8.0.msm

I can install MIFonts_6.8.0.msm without problems.
MapInfoMXTConfig_6.8.0.msm causes an unexpected Win32 error with code
0x065B: "Function failed during execution" in light.exe.
MapInfoCoreEngine_6.8.0.msm and MapInfoDesktop_6.8.0.msm causes ICE 83
and ICE30 errors.

I was able to "work around" the ICE83 (adding code) and ICE30 (suppress)
errors but now I am stuck with the "unexpected Win32 error" caused by
MapInfoMXTConfig_6.8.0.msm. Does anyone have any ideas on what to try? I
am new to Wix and I so there is a definite possibility of user error
here. Is my only option to contact MapInfo support? The strange thing is
that if I include these merge modules in an installation created by Wise
Installation Studio (Windows Installer Edition), they work fine (or at
least I can create an MSI that installs them).

Here is my source code example that I am trying to get to work, I am
using Wix version 3.0.5217.0:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">

Hmm, that's mysterious. We've heard of issues with mergemod.dll and some
MSMs. Can you get a debugger attached and get a callstack? That would
greatly help narrow the set of things that might be causing this.
