Summary: WiX cannot validate created .msi, due to lacking MsiMergeDatabase Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: Other URL: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414#c10 OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jdahlin@async.com.br
Finally, using latest GIT it is possible to generate .msi using WiX, however to be able to do so one I have to pass in the -sval parameter.
See the instructions in bug 11414, comment 10 for information on how to reproduce.
Obviously, stubbing out MsiMergeDatabase to always succeed is not enough for the validation to work properly.
I sent a patch to wine-patches which adds the stub, Adding the stub merely prevents wine from crashing, but the validation does not succeed.
