Wix Burn fails to download exePackage

I am using the exePackage attribute to download an exe pacakge - actually the VSTO runtime from microsoft.

It fails to get the package.

I believe this is the correct way to add it to the CHAIN

    <ExePackage Id="VSTORuntime" SourceFile="vstor_redist.exe" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" Cache="no" Compressed="no"
            DownloadUrl="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=158917"
            PerMachine="yes"
            InstallCommand="/q /norestart"
            DetectCondition="VSTORFeature"
            InstallCondition="NOT VSTORFeature OR NOT (VSTORVersionV4R >=v10.0.40303) OR NOT (VSTORVersionV4 >=v10.0.21022)" />

This is the log file part. It does this about three times.

Solution

  • i think you need to specify Certificate key in the RemotePayload tag, like this :

    <ExePackage Id="VSTORuntime" SourceFile="vstor_redist.exe" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" Cache="no" Compressed="no"
        DownloadUrl="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=158917"
        PerMachine="yes"
        InstallCommand="/q /norestart"
        DetectCondition="VSTORFeature"
        InstallCondition="NOT VSTORFeature OR NOT (VSTORVersionV4R >=v10.0.40303) OR NOT (VSTORVersionV4 >=v10.0.21022)">
<RemotePayload ProductName="Windows Installer 4.5"
               Description="Windows Installer 4.5 Setup"
               CertificatePublicKey="F321408E7C51F8544B98E517D76A8334052E26E8"
               CertificateThumbprint="D57FAC60F1A8D34877AEB350E83F46F6EFC9E5F1"
               Hash="86E1CC622DBF4979717B8F76AD73220CDB70400B"
               Size="3327000"
               Version="4.5.0.0" />
</ExePackage>

    it's just an idea ... or Try to use fiddler to find if they'r an error 404 or something like this ...
