#1249 CAQuietExec does not support 64-bit commands

[Dale Quigg]

Hi,

Feel free to email me at daleq@messagegate.com for additional details or questions. This is related to this thread. http://www.nabble.com/WixCA-CAQuietExec-does-not-support-x64---correct--td16771552.html#a16771552

I'm trying to create a custom action that will run the 64-bit version of PowerShell.exe so I can create Exchange 2007 agents. Everything I've tried has resulted in 32-bit processes;
cmd.exe 32
powershell.exe 32
showing up in the process list instead of the 64-bit versions.

I'm using the latest weekly build, Windows Installer Xml Compiler version 3.0.4214.0.

My Wix code looks like this;

<?define append_log     = '>> "c:\here.log"' ?>
<?define cmd_c          = '"[WindowsFolder]system32\cmd.exe" /c ' ?>
<?define cmd_stamped    = '$(var.cmd_c) echo "Running PowerShell" $(var.append_log) & ' ?>
<?define powershell_exe = '[WindowsFolder]system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe' ?>
<CustomAction Id="MG_CA_AGENT_INST_CMD" Property="QtExecCmdLine" Value="$(var.cmd_stamped) $(var.powershell_exe) -Command &quot;. $(var.agent_script) INSTALL &quot; $(var.append_log)" />
<CustomAction Id="MG_CA_AGENT_INST"          BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Return="ignore" />

I've manually set Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted in powershell prior to running my install (another thing to worry about later).

Here is what my verbose log looks like;

Action 21:50:20: MG_CA_AGENT_INST_CMD.
Action start 21:50:20: MG_CA_AGENT_INST_CMD.
MSI (s) (24:FC) [21:50:20:500]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding QtExecCmdLine property. Its value is '"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" /c echo "Running PowerShell" >> "c:\here.log" & C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe -Command ". 'C:\Program Files\messagegate\Exchange\AgentMain.ps1' INSTALL " >> "c:\here.log"'.
Action ended 21:50:20: MG_CA_AGENT_INST_CMD. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (24:FC) [21:50:20:515]: Doing action: MG_CA_AGENT_INST
Action 21:50:20: MG_CA_AGENT_INST.
Action start 21:50:20: MG_CA_AGENT_INST.

At this point the install appears hung...
[Processes Running]
cmd.exe 32
powershell.exe 32
msiexec.exe 32
msiexec.exe 32
msiexec.exe

Killing powershell.exe *32 allows things to continue;

Action start 21:50:20: MG_CA_AGENT_INST.
MSI (s) (24:14) [21:50:20:531]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSID.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec

'C:\Program Files\messagegate\Exchange\AgentMain.ps1' INSTALL " >> "c:\here.log"'.
CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070001: Command line returned an error.

Action ended 21:54:26: MG_CA_AGENT_INST. Return value 1.

Thanks,
