Making sense out on .MSI verbose trace - running a CustomAction

Question

Making sense out of an .MSI verbose trace. I created the .MSI using VisualStudio 2008.

Here\'s the background on what I\'m trying to do: http://xmlpreprocess.codeplex.c

Yes, the ErrorIcon is just noise and can be ignored. I'm in the process of removing this 'noise' from my MSI now so I can properly debug.

The error is being caused by your custom action returning a Windows Error of 1722.

Running 'net helpmsg 1722' at the cmd prompt yields;

 The RPC server is unavailable.

So that command is doing something that either depends on the local RPC server service (not started, which is odd because it is critical to Windows I think) or a remote server is reporting that back.
