MSI build fails with ICE errors under non-admin #31

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Check out the sources (r121 at the time of this reporting)
2. Run build.cmd in the root of the working/export copy

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The build show succeed entirely. Instead it fails during the build of the
MSI with the following errors:

light.exe : error LGHT0217 : Error executing ICE action 'ICE08'. The most
common cause of this kind of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered
scripting engine. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for
details and how to solve this problem. The following string format was not
expected by the external UI message logger: "The installer has encountered
an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem
with this package. The error code is 2738. ".
light.exe : error LGHT0217 : Error executing ICE action 'ICE09'. The most
common cause of this kind of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered
scripting engine. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for
details and how to solve this problem. The following string format was not
expected by the external UI message logger: "The installer has encountered
an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem
with this package. The error code is 2738. ".
light.exe : error LGHT0217 : Error executing ICE action 'ICE32'. The most
common cause of this kind of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered
scripting engine. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for
details and how to solve this problem. The following string format was not
expected by the external UI message logger: "The installer has encountered
an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem
with this package. The error code is 2738. ".
light.exe : error LGHT0217 : Error executing ICE action 'ICE61'. The most
common cause of this kind of ICE failure is an incorrectly registered
scripting engine. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for
details and how to solve this problem. The following string format was not
expected by the external UI message logger: "The installer has encountered
an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem
with this package. The error code is 2738. ".

I should that the FAQ link in the error messages did not help.

Running the setup part of the build script with an administrator account works
without the ICE errors. Changed the issue summary accordingly.

I've applied an interim fix in r123. The MSI build is broken out into a separate
script that only runs if the user has admin privileges.

Sorry about that. I'm running with Admin privileges on Vista and never had 
problems
building msi's with WiX (UAC turned ON).

But now, the check for admin doesn't seem to work. The script tells me that I'm 
not
an admin and fails to build the msi.

The posts linked to from the FAQ all relate to scripted custom actions, but we 
don't
use those in the Gurtle installer. So there must be another reason why it fails 
for you.

Did you (or your virus scanner/firewall) deactivate the scripting engine?

Found some possible solutions:

Nope. I don't run any anti-virus software. :O

No we don't but I think it's to do with ICE. Perhaps a workaround could be to 
try and
use the "sice" switch on light to those suppress ICE 217 errors?

> heck for admin doesn't seem to work.

I guess if you run tools\amadmin then it prints, "You are NOT a system
administrator"? It could be your administrator account is running in 
unprivileged
mode. What does WHOAMI /PRIV display for you?

Me neither :)

Sure, it that works for you, then that switch should be ok.

tools\amadmin.cmd returns "You are NOT a system administrator".
WHOAMI /ALL shows:

Neither of those seem to be my case. I checked and neither JScript nor VBScript
engines are in my HKCU hive. Only HKLM.

Here's me looking for VBScript in HKCU:

C:\>reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

Here's me looking for VBScript in HKLM:

Ditto for JScript.

Same on my machine. They're also only registered under HKLM.

Looks like MSI is built anyhow irrespective of ICE errors. Will suppress those.
