Play 2.2: WiX Installer and sbt-native-package-manager can't get it working.

[Christian Schmitt]

Hello, I try to make a native msi package under windows for my play project.

Currently this is the error i get:

I really don't know how to fix it. I tried nearly everything.

I have the same error. I'm trying to test sbt plugin with a sample project (play/java `forms` sample).

Here is my build.sbt

import play.Project._

import NativePackagerKeys._

playJavaSettings

name := "forms"

version := "1.0"

packageSummary in Linux := "The name you want displayed in package summaries"

packageSummary in Windows := "The name you want displayed in Add/Remove Programs"

packageDescription := " A description of your project"

maintainer in Windows := "Company"

maintainer in Debian := "Your Name <yo...@email.com>"

wixProductId := "ce07be71-510d-414a-92d4-dff47631848a"

wixProductUpgradeId := "4552fb0e-e257-4dbd-9ecb-dba9dbacf424"

Here is the error running `play windows:package-bin` :

Generate some invalid names in wix file. In my case :

<Component Id="shortcut_3dd9158d_540a_4728_b759_11203f352fdc1702832501xxxxxxxxx" Guid="1f4b2895-5d8b-46da-9736-a27cf7c4eccb">

              <RemoveFolder Id="ApplicationProgramsFolderRemove" Directory="ApplicationProgramsFolder" On="uninstall"/>

              <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Company\forms" Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>

            </Component>

Could be a bug?

[Christian Schmitt]

it seems that there is a bug.

I tried the sbt-native-package manager with another Build.sbt and didn't used the play scala settings and everything worked. I just needed to write my own Packaging Handler.

[Josh Suereth]

Yes, this is most certainly a bug.   The mapping from universal -> windows packaging is still relatively new for the native packager (since 0.6), so we're trying to work out any kinks that have arisen.  In this case, I think one of our "clean for id" method calls is missing before we generate the WiX configuration.    I'll follow up on the native packager bug report with further findings:
