RE: [WiX-users] Tips for migrating to 2.0.1706?

[Rob M. <ro...@us...>]

Okay, I found the bug.  Thanks for narrowing this down.

The bug occurred when there was a change to escape "#" characters at the
beginning of string values.  You can see this around in Compiler.cs:5164 or
so.  I'll have a fix for the release tomorrow.  Or if you want, just remove
the first line and add the second one

Compiler.cs:5164
< if (0 == prefix.Length && value.StartsWith("#"))
> if (0 == prefix.Length && null != value && value.StartsWith("#"))


Also, your work around below is changing the logic to remove the registry
key only during the install of your Component.  It doesn't sound like that
is what you want.  I'll work on the documentation in this area since it is a
bit lacking.

Thanks again.

Here is what seems to be doing it:

  <Registry Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Credant\Gatekeeper" Name="*"
Id="RCMGGK"/>

The old version accepted this, and new that it meant to delete the
entire key in an uninstall. The current version blows. If I change this
line to...

  <Registry Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Credant\Gatekeeper" Name="*"
Id="RCMGGK" Action="removeKey"/>

...then the line is accepted. Now I have to see if using the Action
attribute messes anything else up.

Regards,
  Tore
