X2 not compiling v18 installers (File Bag error)

spicymikey · Postby **spicymikey** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:43 pm

Just upgraded from IA18 to IA 19. Tried to run the installer and got "Failed to compile plug-in action: File Bag" in the "BUILD PROGRESS" window. A pop up error dialog box says "ERROR! No files matching wildcard pattern "xxxxxxxx". If you are trying to build application runtimes, run InstallAware Setup again, and add all optional features.

Seems like a simple enough problem. The default installation must not install all the add-on elements I had in my IA18.

Problem is, I have all the options selected for the setup. Literally EVERYTHING. Also, the file it is crapping out on is SQL Server 2012 CLR. But before anyone suggests it, the runtimes are provided and controlled by me. I'm not using the IA provided runtime packages. I find it better if we control all that ourselves with our own obtained 3rd party msi's, exe's, etc. So the scripts are pointing to the same location and files, that the IA18 installer used. So the environment in terms of setup components is exactly the same.

Anyone run into this yet? is this a bug or do I need to do something different with this new version that I'm not accustomed too?

Just a followup. I've investigated further this morning and still see no solution. I've even commented out the code I thought was causing the errors yet the errors still continue. I also ran a registry cleanup just in case old entries from the older IA 18 were causing issues. Nothing helps and the error persists. I am attaching the actual screenshots

Keep in mind this is a working installation that was in production using IA18. it's the same computer. The environment is identical except now running IA19. I fear IA19 has serious issues and may have to uninstall :/

Dear Mikey,

I have just tried to use an IA 18 project on IA X2 and I suppose to have experienced a similar issue.

This can be caused by the fact, that some application runtimes have been totally re-designed in IA X2 ( as Net, Sql and so on).

I suggest to you to try the following (Make a backup of your entire project folder before to proceed!);

- Open the project and remove any used Application Runtime from the project (Design View in the IDE).
- Remove any Runtime script eventually left (that refers to the used Application runtimes) in the "Include Scripts" node (left tree pane of the MSI code view in IA IDE)
- Manually check that any "include script" entry (that refers to the removed Application Runtimes) has not been left in your main script.
- Finally, re-add the required Application Runtimes, save and build the project.

The above steps should solve your issue.

Let me know.

Regards

Thanks for the response Francesco, and sorry for my delayed response. For some reason I didn't have "Notify me when a reply is posted" checked.

Unfortunately I think you fell into the trap I was trying to avoid by being explicit that there are NO Installaware runtimes being used. That's why its such a mystery and probably a more serious issue with your new version. Attached is a screenshot again. Look at the file reference. You can see it is coming from my local server and it is straight from Microsoft.

This is not an IA runtime, nor are there ANY IA runtimes or template scripts being used. We avoid them for this very reason and to maintain full control.

If you can escalate this to something more serious I would appreciate it. I would really need to get this fixed today or consider rolling back to IA18.

Thanks for the support!

Dear Mikey,

Please replace the File Bag plug-in design time DLL with the copy in the attached archive:

mFileBagIDE.7zip: (476.68 KiB) Downloaded 2747 times

This will fix your problem.

We hope you find this resolution satisfactory.

InstallAware.

Thanks sinan. That worked!

So is this "hotfix" going to be in the next build? I have the full IA19 setup saved locally already. I'd rather re-download a fresh one with this fix if/when it is incorporated into the main setup program

Happy that worked!

Yes, the update that includes the fix is already available (IA X2 ver.19.0)

Hi,

I have the same error and replaced the file as mentioned in te post. However, the error remains. Not sure though whether I put it in the correct place. I put it in the plugin folder as well as inside the projects folder (replacing the old file). Still absolutely the same error. Could be hat I put it in the wrong place. I'm still on the learning curve here.

You shouldn't need to do any of this orca. The software on the web has this fix in it. if you are running from an old installation, download the latest version, install it, and try again

I did yesterday but it seems that I had already the latest version. However, was not able to test it with the download from yesterday yet. Will do it today.
