The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2769. The arguments are: CA_InstallAssemblyDef.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8, 2,

I captured process monitor trace and debugged the custom action ( debug process is mentioned at the bottom of this page). I found that there was an Access Violation in the CNgenIndex destructor, possibly heap corruption. Based on the procmon trace, Fusion is getting pretty far installing this assembly, much past initial load of the shim. It looks like the thread dies right after enumerating the NGEN index. The trace also shows some very unusual usage pattern in the NGen index (in particular, multiple nodes for the same assembly), which generally indicates that the index is corrupted. Finally, I found that it was an issue with native images index corruption.

In order to resolve this issue, please open the registry editor and clear the NGen index by deleting the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion\NativeImagesIndex\v2.0.50727_32 , then run ngen update.

Capturing a dump of the custom action “CA_InstallAssemblyDef.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8”

======================================================================

1) Download and install Windbg 32 bit on the repro box from the following location https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/debuggers/dbg_x86_6.11.1.404.msi

2) Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

3) On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables, and then under System Variables, click New.

Note: You must add MsiBreak to the list of System Variables (and not to the list of User Variables).

4) In the Variable Name field, enter "MsiBreak" (without the quotation marks).

5) In the Variable Value field, enter “CA_InstallAssemblyDef.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8” without quotes

6) Run the patch from elevated command prompt and start installing

7) During installation, a break message will appear stating "To debug your custom action, attach your debugger to process XXX (0xZZZ) and press OK". Open WinDBG instead of following the instructions on the dialog that pops up, press F6 (or Attach to a process from file menu), and select the process id that was prompted earlier XXX (0xZZZ).

8) Hit No for the next message and you will find the command line of windbg just above the task bar,

9) Hit “g” without quotes and hit enter again, you will find that the installation will resume and the Windbg command line will be greyed out.

10) It will break again with some exception on the Windbg window and you will find that the command line is enabled again.

11) Now either continue debugging the custom action or type .dump /ma c:\CustomActionFailureDump.dmp to save the dump file for offline analysis.
