    [PSS 2017][Bug] Error opening project from file

    Post by Bosparan »

    PSS Version: 2017 5.4.143 x64
    OS Version: Windows 10 x64 Creators Update
    WMF Version: 5.1

    Impact: Low / Medium

    Symptom:
    After installing WIX from the current installer, opening a PowerShell Studio Project by double-clicking on the project file no longer works as designed.
    The repair/initialization dialog pops up (see picture 1), which will soon reach the point where it keeps prompting for MSI/WIX related files it cannot file.

    There is no such issue when opening a project from within the application, or launching the application by its shortcut.

    This issue can be circumvented by deleting the following registry value:
    HKCR:\SAPIEN.PowerShell Studio 2017.psproj\shell\open\command : command
    (Which appears to contain some encrypted or highly condensed configuration/startup settings)

    Reproducibility:
    Installing the latest production build of WIX would probably do. Can't justify the time effort to reproduce this on the job, to make sure, alas :(

    Hello,

    Did you install PowerShell Studio 2017 5.4.143 or upgraded from 142?
    If you used upgrade, check C:\Program Files\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc\PowerShell Studio 2017\MSIBuilder folder.
    It should have 28 files and 1 folder.

    In some cases upgrade didn't upgrade MSIBuilder, please re-install PowerShell Studio

    Check Wix Toolset folder under C:\Program Files\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc\PowerShell Studio 2017\MSIBuilde
    Wix Toolset should have 28 files and 1 folder

    Hi Olga,

    thanks for the reply and advice.
    Indeed, the number of files was wrong (and I think I've had every single build since 2012 in an uninterrupted stream of updated installations :) - not counting the few, rare reinstalls I had to do on broken upgrades). A Reinstallation also fixed this issue this time.

    Cheers,
    Fred
