问题描述

我在 Windows 8 机器上运行 WiX 安装程序时遇到了一个奇怪的问题.当我单击 msi 时，我收到消息此操作仅对当前安装的产品有效".运行带有日志记录的 msi 显示以下内容:

I've encountered a strange issue running a WiX installer on a windows 8 machine. When I click the msi I get the message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". Running the msi with logging shows the following:

奇怪的是，同一个安装程序在 win7 机器上运行良好，而稍旧版本的安装程序在 win8 机器上运行.我不知道为什么产品代码是空的，因为它在 win7 上有一个有效的 guid.

The odd thing is the same installer works fine on a win7 machine and a slightly older version of the installer works on the win8 machine. I am not sure why the product code is empty since it has a valid guid on win7.

有没有人知道我为什么会收到这个错误?

Does anyone have any insight as to why I'm getting this error?

使用 Orca 我可以看到 MSI 的 ProductCode 属性设置为有效的 GUID

Using Orca I can see that the ProductCode Property of the MSI is set to a valid GUID

通过使用 Orca 和来自安装程序的另一个版本的 Guid 交换产品代码中的 GUID，我可以让它工作，但是当使用 ProductCode='*' 从 WiX 构建时，即使它不起作用放入产品代码中的 guid 似乎是有效的.

By swapping out the GUID in the Product code using Orca with a Guid from another version of the installer, I can get it to work, but when building from WiX with ProductCode='*', it's not working even though the guid that gets put in the product code seems valid.

推荐答案

我终于弄清楚这是在通过闪存驱动器将安装程序从我的win7机器转移到win8机器的过程中引起的.我通过网络驱动器传输了相同的文件，当然它工作正常.显然，产品代码中的 guid，或者可能是整个安装程序，在闪存驱动器上损坏了导致错误的原因.

I have finally figured out that this was caused in the process of transferring the installer from my win7 machine to the win8 machine via flash drive. I transferred the same file via a network drive and of course it worked fine. Apparently the guid in the product code, or perhaps the entire installer, got corrupted on the flash drive some how causing the error.

感谢所有为我调查此事的人，感谢您抽出宝贵时间并为这个奇怪的错误道歉！

Thank you to all that looked into this for me, I appreciate your time and apologize for the strange error!
