I ran the setup using
msiexec /i C:SomePathMySetup.msi /l*v C:SomePathSetup.log


I do not fully understand the log but it seems as if the issue is occurring in the following section.

Any idea how to fix this?

I still do not understand what exactly caused the issue but I found a way to fix it.

Whily doing further investigations on the issue and comparing the setup project with older setups I have built, it turned that they where all building without errors but failing to install correctly.

The symptom they were all showing was the following error under MySetup => References => MyReferenced.dll => Fullpath.

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine,
Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=SomePublicKeyToken' or one
of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not
match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)


I found a similar issue description http://lists.wixtoolset.org/pipermail/wix-users-wixtoolset.org/2015-September/000225.html

Deleting the primary output from the setup, rebooting and then adding the lib manually did not change anything.

Checking for windows updates, installing a new definition update for windows defender and the subsequent reboot brought everything back to normal.

I wonder whether this is a random coincidence but if it is, why is the issue solved now?

Hello Oliver,

I don't understand what occurs, either.

If you deploy an Add-in Express based add-in, this error may be found on adxregistrator.log.

Hi Andrei,

Unfortunately setup did not even get to that point. No ADXRegistrator log was written, this is why I invoked msiexec.

Thank you.

Alas, I have no explanation.
