Wix ICE Error from 01 to 07

Viewed 1076

I have to update our build-system from the old "XML-System" to the newer vNext. Now I have the problem, that in a build progress, I'm getting errormessages from ligther.exe:

[error]light.exe(0,0): Error LGHT0217: Error executing ICE action 'ICE01'. ...

up to ICE07. And at the end:

[error]light.exe(0,0): Error LGHT0216: An unexpected Win32 exception with error code 0x643 occurred: Action - 'ICE09' Fatal error during installation

When I make the same build with the "old" XML-Version it works without any problems, any ideas?

Thanks a lot. Kriz

I saw this issue only on the build machine, where the build task has no admin rights. I didn't saw this on my developer machine, where I have admin rights. This error is written by the light.exe, which is the Windows Installer XML linker contained in the Wix Toolset.

In order to solve this I suppressed validation of the light.exe. This can be done in two different ways:

On the commandline of light.exe

-sval

On the commandline, when using WixSharp

Compiler.LightOptions = "-sval";
