I recently decided to try an online visual studio to automate my build. The result of the assembly should be several binary files and the wix installer created. Locally this works, however on an online visual studio this leads to errors:
light.exe: Error performing ICE action 'ICE01'. The most common cause of such an ICE failure is an incorrectly registered scripting mechanism. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/faq.html#Error217 for details and how to solve this problem. The external UI message logger did not expect the following string format: "Failed to access the Windows Installer service. This can happen if the Windows Installer is not installed correctly. Contact your support staff for help."
[..]
light.exe: Unexpected Win32 exception occurred with error code 0x643: Action - "ICE09" Fatal error during installation
The only solution that I know to solve this problem is to grant administrator rights to the assembly server. In this case, this is not possible.
Does anyone know if Wix can be used for Visual Studio Online? If so, what do I need to change?
