ICE79

Written by Manfred van Poorten

Description:
ICE79 validates the references to components and features entered in the database fields using the Condition data type.

Concerns:
ICE79 posts two errors:

ICE79 error	Description
Component '%ls' referenced in column '%s'.'%s' of row %s is invalid.	An invalid component reference was found.
Feature '%ls' referenced in column '%s'.'%s' of row %s is invalid.	An invalid feature reference was found

ICE79 posts two warnings:

ICE79 warning	Description
Database is missing _Validation table. Could not completely check property names.	Database is missing _Validation table.
Error retrieving values from column [2] in table [1]. Skipping Column.	Error retrieving value.

Additional information:
This ICE looks complicated, but the only thing it really does is check the references of Features, Components and properties that you put in conditions, actually exist. This happens through the _Validation table. If this does not exist (default is not supplied with an MSI), it will give ICE79 warnings.

Examples of possible errors:

InstallExecuteSequence Table:

Action	Condition	Sequence
CustomAction1	PROPERTY1=53 AND &Feature1>1	1580
CustomAction2	PROPERTY130 AND $Component1 >2	1600

In this example 'Feature1' in the 'Feature' table is missing and "Component1 'in the 'Component' Table is missing.

1. Component 'Component1' referenced in column 'InstallExecuteSequence'.'Condition' of row CustomAction2 is invalid.

2. Feature 'Feature1' referenced in column 'InstallExecuteSequence'.'Condition' of row CustomAction1 is invalid.

This error must be solved:
Add the Feature “Feature1” to the Feature table, and “Component1” to the Component table.
