Re: [WiX-users] Dark Error - error DARK0047 : Failed to close cab

[Tom K. <tku...@ho...>]

I will look into the virus checker.  I did forget to mention that I am =
able to decompile the msi I build using the Installer SDK scripts.

Thank-you,
tomk.

  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=20

  merge module validation tests in Orca.exe.



  Is this a known issue?



  Thanks,

  Tom Kufeldt
