Wix Cab error code 1

Question

I am getting the following error in the log file:

 Action start 12:11:52: CreateIisConfigs.

I am using <MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" /> and WIX Toolset 3.10.

Thanks for your time.

You have a security/permission issue. Check the line before this issue.

Also it could be related to exe file you are using in your CA.

Hope it helped.

Try to run the msi as administrator.

Oh i always do that , and elevated cmd :)

As i can see you are running 32 bit "Hello, I'm your 32bit Impersonated custom action server." try to run the installer as 64 bit.

Okay so i sort this issue out.In my specific case i have a post-build action that copies the msi file to the Resources folder of C# class library project.Somehow the msi got corrupted and thats why i had this Cabinet error code 1 .After i manually copy paste the msi the error is gone.
