Direct3D Graphics Pipeline sample code installer bug found

Posted by legalize under: Computers; DirectX; Programming; Direct3D Graphics Pipeline .

OK, I was finally able to reproduce this problem with the installer and the issue comes down to something downright weird. If I’m running dbmon or DebugView while the installer is running, then the code installs fine. If I’m not running a debug monitor, then the installation fails with no useful information in the log message (other than the custom action return code is 3, which indicates an error).

So now that I’ve found the bug, I’ll investigate getting an updated installer uploaded that corrects the problem.

One Comment so far...
