powershell - How do you troubleshoot PS1 script execution in MSI installer? -


i've tested , ran ps1 scripts , ran find without problem. tried integrate them wix installer fail stupid installer never give meaningful on why failed...

i have these in wix wxs file:

<property id="installplugin" value="&quot;powershell.exe -file [#installps1]&quot;" /> <customaction id="installplugin" binarykey="wixca" dllentry="wixquietexec" execute="deferred" return="ignore" impersonate="no"/>  <property id="uninstallplugin" value="&quot;powershell.exe -file [#uninstallps1]&quot;" /> <customaction id="uninstallplugin" binarykey="wixca" dllentry="wixquietexec" execute="deferred" return="ignore" impersonate="no"/>  <installexecutesequence>   <custom action="installplugin" before="installfinalize">not installed</custom>   <custom action="uninstallplugin" after="installinitialize">(not upgradingproductcode) , (remove="all")</custom> </installexecutesequence>

i captured install log, can see script being called , failed code 1603, doesn't mean anything...

msi (s) (f0:b0) [11:15:45:969]: running service. msi (s) (f0:b0) [11:15:45:972]: hello, i'm 32bit elevated non-remapped custom action server. wixquietexec:  entering wixquietexec in c:\windows\installer\msi19c1.tmp, version 3.11.1701.0 wixquietexec:  "powershell.exe -file c:\program files (x86)\blah\install.ps1" wixquietexec:  error 0x80070002: command failed execute. wixquietexec:  error 0x80070002: quietexec failed wixquietexec:  error 0x80070002: failed in execcommon method customaction installplugin returned actual error code 1603 translated success due continue marking

i've tried various combinations of customaction attributes didn't @ all. love use return="check" prevent installer finish (my installer has no problem installing else, there no errors, ps1 script somehow blocking).

if navigate installed folder, say, c:\program files (x86)\blah , manually run script, .\install.ps1, ran , behave expected.

can wix experts give me tips of troubleshooting this? googling around didn't help...

ps: in install.ps1 launch elevated powershell session (but shouldn't matter since person running installer must have admin rights begin with), i'm not sure if that's causing error, , if yes, how can workaround script launching script?

edit:

the script i'm trying run in question posted here in superuser forum. essentially, i'm going through windows registry trying find exchange server installed , grab built-in ems script , load it.

the wix quiet execute ca requires powershell.exe qualified , wrapped in quote.

"[systemfolder]windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file "[#filekey]"

or that. honestly, i'd in c# / dtf or use c# / dtf create powershell pipeline , invoke way. more control on invocation, error handling, logging , on on.
