That error seems to occur most often when you have a virus checker that gets
excited when it sees cabinet files.  Usually people that hit this make sure
their virus checker isn't evaluating the Temp directory. or rather they
redirect the WiX toolset to operate somewhere beside the Temp directory and
tell the virus checker to not look there.

 

If you don't have a virus checker, then this is probably some other bug.
Does this happen with all MSIs you build?

Hi,

 

I am receiving this error when I execute the following dark command:

 

    dark.exe : error DARK0047 : Failed to close cab
'C:\Temp\bin\MergeModule.CAB'.

 

    dark /m /f /x bin example.msm example.wxs

 

example.msm is built with no errors or warnings using wix tools 2.0.2415.0
and it passes the 

merge module validation tests in Orca.exe.

 

Is this a known issue?

 

Thanks,

Tom Kufeldt
