msxml4 merge module problems
Phil
I am getting errors on an extremely clean Windows XP when
trying to install an MSI file I created that includes
msxmlsxs32.msm. I am logged into the machine as a Power
User and do not really want to expect users to logon as an
Administrator in order to install.
I've seen few postings in Google groups for similar errors
but I have not seen if there is a resolution for this.
Here is an exert from my install log file:

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

have a MSI that includes the msxml4sxs32.msm and installs
the SYS and INF files for our driver, then calls a DLL
custom action as the last thing before InstallFinalize.
This custom action uses the
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices function to update the
driver with the INF file we installed.
This problem only occurs when I call this custom action
AND include the msxml4sxs32 merge module. If I take
either out, the install succeeds. The bug I see is
exactly the same except for a few little details - here's
the log excerpt:
Error 1935.An error occured during the installation of
assembly component {303994BA-6487-47AE-AF1D-
7AF6088EEBDB}. HRESULT: -2147024893. assembly interface:

So I decided to use a file monitoring tool to watch for
file create and file delete actions during the install,
and I noticed that rundll32.exe is deleting stuff from
the WinSxS folder (and furhtermore only does so when both
the custom actions AND the merge module are included in
the install). Here's the log from that:

So I'm not sure what's going on here, but from the MSI
log it looks like a similar if not identical problem. So
if anyone can help, I'm sure Phil and I would both
appreaciate it. =) Thanks!

Second, if #1 above is successfull, then it is absolutely a permission
problem. Enable file and registry object access logging in the policy.
Reboot the computer, and run the install as power user. This will tell you
where it is hitting the wall.

it's not permissions for me. Although I can't say for
sure that it isn't a permissions issue in Phil's case.
I did some further investigation and found out this info:
The msxml4sxs32 merge module installs files into
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\InstallTemp. (I presume at the end of
installation they are moved from there to their permanent
location. However the install doesn't get that far.)
During the call to UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices, the
process rundll32.exe deletes these files.
Any ideas why those file might be getting deleted?

UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices. Where is this custom action being
sequenced?

Two values are entered into RunOnce by the merge module
before my custom action runs. Apparently they use
rundll32.exe to call a DLL function that cleans up those
directories, which isn't _intended_ to happen until after
the install completes but when
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices() runs it seems to
execute those RunOnce entries.
So originally I had the custom action scheduled as the
last thing before ScheduleReboot and InstallFinalize. I
thought maybe I could get the custom action in before the
RunOnce values were written so I scheduled it immediately
after InstallFiles. No luck; the values are written by
then. (I'm not sure exactly where they come from, unless
it's something Windows does as a special action when files
are installed in C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS ...?)
So my only good thought at the moment is to write code in
my custom action that backs up all values in the RunOnce
key and deletes them before calling
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices(). Then after the
function call restores the backed up values.
Is there a better way to fix the problem or am I on the
right track?

the runonce from being processed. I can't recall it correctly. I will
suggest that you proceed with backing up RunOnce for the time being. In the
mean time, I will post back if I could recollect that.
