Debug installer
Posted on June 17, 2009
The installer created using WIX was failing. I had no option but to perform following on command line:
msiexec -i MYSETUPFILE.msi /leavx log.txt
This will create a log file for the installer when this command is invoked. The failure sequence can be traced from the log file and is relatively simpler to debug the setup issue.
