[Bug 17983] New: WiX fails with builtin msi.dll
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17983 Summary: WiX fails with builtin msi.dll Product: Wine Version: 1.1.18 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: hib(a)hiberis.nl Created an attachment (id=20350) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=20350) reproduce-wix-msi-bug.sh With Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset, you can create .msi packages. The program light.exe creates these packages. Light.exe succeeds both when run with wine's builtin msi.dll and with a native msi.dll. However, the msi package produced with the builtin msi.dll does not install on MS Windows (XP), while the one built with the native msi.dll does. Apparently, light.exe fails without complaining, which makes it difficult to pinpoint the problem. Nonetheless, looking at the produced .msi packages it seems that there is something wrong with the Summary information. I have attached a script to reproduce the problem. Note, the storage warnings that light.exe produces can be get rid off by using a native ole32.dll, but that does not appear to affect this bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I have submitted a fix for the summary information bug:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2009-April/071813.html
Nice work!!! With this patch applied it seems the summary information is okay, and the installer on Windows does not complain any longer about the produced package not being an msi-package.
but it's not enough to make wix generated packages install on Windows.
Indeed, there still seems to be something wrong, probably with the contents of the tables in the msi package. I have created a new product.msi package with the above patch applied with the builtin msi.dll. When I look at this package with Orca on Linux/Wine, it looks good (see screenshot-1), but when I look at it with Orca on WindowsXP, the contents of the tables looks corrupted (see screenshot-2). With Orca on Linux/Wine+native msi.dll I see the same result as on Windows XP. This leads me to the conclusion that both reading and writing of the tables is wrong on Wine. (Disclaimer: As I really have no clue on how wine works, feel free to question any conclusion of mine). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Unfortunately, I really do not know why it works, but it just makes the data type for INT columns in the msi file the same as my native msi.dll makes them. I have no idea how to write a test for this, as this problem only appears when you write an msi file with wine, and later read it on windows and/or on wine with a native msi.dll. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
