Wix Bundle Installer, services not installed with success message

Question

Ok this is a bit weird, I've been using a bundle installer for the last few months to install a set of 8 windows services. The last time the bundle installer worked was a couple of days ago. However today the bundle "decided" not to work, the logs don't seem to show anything weird and the bundle does not throw any errors when I run it, The bundle seems to find the msi files, runs some tasks and then reverts them, then shows a success message.

I tried this on 3 different machines and had the same result. No changes to the code, no changes to the installers it bootstraps. Manually installing each msi works just fine.

The log is as follows.

I'm using the Wix Toolset 3.9 and Visual Studio 2015 to build.

Any Wix Wizards out there that care to provide an opinion?

Answer 1

You need to rebuild your bootstrapper application with the version of WiX used to build the bundle (v3.10.3 in this case). BAs are source-compatible, not binary-compatible, between WiX releases.
