I recently switched from using Wix 3.9 to Wix 3.10 in order to use Wix in visual studio 2015 and I noticed that in Wix 3.10 (without adding code changes), it is not adding my installer application to the Add/Remove Programs anymore. However if i build my installer using Wix 3.9 it works to add to Add/Remove programs. Has anyone seen this issue? Is there a work around?

Thanks!

  • Can you make the verbose logging enabled and check if there is an error while the 3.10 version installer runs? The command line you can use to get a verbose log is 'msiexec /i /l!*vx '. – Paras Gera Mar 04 '16 at 08:44
  • I have several msi packages in my installer. But I ran verbose logging on all of them. While all of them end with "Installation completed successfully". I do see these two error codes:1707 and 1709. What do these mean? If i change to compile the msi's with version 3.9, my installer's executable is back in add/remove programs. – ccptleu Mar 04 '16 at 17:10
  • I did a search for error codes 1707 ad 1709 and these seem to be success values so other than that there are no other errors found in the logs. – ccptleu Mar 04 '16 at 17:18
  • From the logs i don't see any other errors. The only difference between 3.9 and 3.10 is that in 3.10 it had created the uninstall registry entry for my bootstrapper .exe application in SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ but then at the end of install it removed this registry entry calling Removed bundle dependency provider. This did not happen in 3.9. – ccptleu Jun 06 '16 at 23:30
