Summary: WIX sproadic 'unexpected logger failure'

Initial Comment:
Since I upgraded from 3.0.3530.0 to 3.0.3725.0 (both the wix and votive code), I now sporadically get this message when compiling a WIX project:

3>Unhandled Exception:The build was aborted because of an unexpected logger failure.
3>Error: The build was aborted because of an unexpected logger failure.

Just rebuilding typically makes the problem go away.

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and Windows XP.

Summary: heating a specific com dll results in a debug assert

Initial Comment:
Description:
------------
When I heat one of the COM dlls in my installation, I
get a debug Assert prompted (view attached screenshot
ComDllHeat.jpg).

Additional Information:
-----------------------
1. Furthermore, the wxs source that is outputted - is
definitely incomplete.

2. If the dll itself is required for verification of
the problem , I can provide it.

This is a problem with the dll itself. If the reg keys arent written by
self-reg, there isnt much heat can do.

I suspect it's the perennial problem suffered by any
harvester that when heat creates its proxy registry keys,
they're empty. The DLL's self-register code depends on some
other registry keys already existing, and falls over if
they're not present.

The problem occurs because the DLL didn't write the keys,
not because heat.exe didn't read them. The DLL is producing
the message box, not heat.exe.

I hate to suggest that the solution would be to clone all
of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE hive under the proxy key
that heat.exe creates, but nothing else springs to mind.

For the poster of the bug, the solution is to fix your self-
registration code so that it creates every key it
references, or to author the .wxs manually. Note that
heat.exe can't capture everything properly - it will never
be able to tell whether you're creating a REG_MULTI_SZ
value or appending to an existing one, for example.

I've added both the generated wxs source & a compressed
archive containing the dll.

The dll registers fine using "regsvr32" so I suspect theres
some peculiarity in the implementation - but I can't seem to
narrow it down conventionally.

Summary: light does not parse -dut correctly.

Initial Comment:
In WiX 3.0.3711.0, light.exe does not understand the -dut option. The fix appears quite simple -- in light.cs, these ifs (first if at line 717):

else if (parameter.StartsWith("d"))
// [snip]
else if ("dut" == parameter)
// [snip]

simply need to switch order to:

else if ("dut" == parameter)
// [snip]
else if (parameter.StartsWith("d"))
// [snip]

I forgot to mention in the bug description -- this is a pretty major bug,
as it prevented building via Votive. I'm not sure why Votive started using
the -dut option, but I had to manually add
False to my project XML file to get it
to build (checking the "suppress drop unused tables" option had no effect).

Summary: WIX builds leave detritus in TEMP

Initial Comment:
After running a WIX project compilation (using Visual Studio 2005, and WIX daily-build 3.0.3530.0), I find junk in the temp directory which accumulates day after day (amounting to gigabytes per day of lost disk space).

Among the files left behind are:
WSCB90.tmp (zero sized files - so not a huge deal)

and a folder named - for example:
j85u1pd4\
MsiFileHash.idt
...
Verb.idt
...
cab_0_WixUIExtension.cab
...

These folders are pretty big (about the size of the installer itself) - and are never deleted; they just accumulate.

That's controlled by the LeaveTemporaryFiles (aka -notidy) switch.

Summary: FeaturesDlg ItemSize cuts off text

Initial Comment:
The text box used to display feature diskspace in the feature usage dialog cuts off text when displaying usage for subfeatures since it is only one line high. It would be nice if this were 2 lines high so that the subfeature usage is displayed (description text, however would be reduced by one line). Either that, or reorganize the dialog so that the feature usage or description is to the side of the tree...
