windows-8 - Windows 安装程序 "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed"- "MSI_DBG: Provided descriptor less than minimum size"

Question

我在 Windows 8 机器上运行 WiX 安装程序时遇到了一个奇怪的问题。当我单击 msi 时，我收到消息“此操作仅对当前安装的产品有效”。运行带有日志记录的 msi 显示以下内容:

奇怪的是同一个安装程序在 win7 机器上运行良好，而稍旧版本的安装程序在 win8 机器上运行。我不确定为什么产品代码是空的，因为它在 win7 上有一个有效的 guid。

有人知道我为什么会收到此错误吗？

编辑:使用 Orca，我可以看到 MSI 的 ProductCode 属性设置为有效的 GUID

EDIT2:通过使用 Orca 将产品代码中的 GUID 与来自另一个版本的安装程序的 Guid 交换，我可以让它工作，但是当使用 ProductCode='*' 从 WiX 构建时，它无法工作，即使放入产品代码中的 guid 似乎有效。

Answer 1

一些建议:1. 有效的 guid 包括全部大写，因此如果 Windows 8 收紧了规则，请检查一下。2. appcompat overrides 暗示有一些应用程序兼容性正在发生，例如假装系统是(例如)Windows 7 或 XP 来安装它，否则它不会安装在 8 上。或者 Windows 假装那个在内部。在 Properties->Compatibility 中查看 MSI 文件是否有一些兼容性设置。这可能是在某处鸣喇叭。
