The fact that ProjectAggregator2.msi is not required anymore doesn't fix the Project Save error described here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1613071&group_id=105970

The exact error message I am getting is: "The operation could not be completed. No such interface supported."

I've been having this issue for some time, for the moment I enable the "Save

new projects when created" in my VS Options when I need to create a new Wix project.

I am getting this problem with VS 2005 RTM/SP1 and VS 2008 RTM on Windows XP 32-bit.

Do you have any idea where this error is coming from?

Thanks in advance!

Hi DMurillo - I'm able to reproduce this issue as well, and it doesn't appear related to ProjectAggregator2. This looks like a separate bug somewhere in the Votive package. I'll see if I can track down more information about why this is happening and what our options are for fixing it.

Hi Aaron,

Just installed Wix 3.0.4014.0 and I'm still getting the error... have you had time to find more information about it?

TIA

Hi DMurillo - If you are you referring to the project save error described in http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1613071&group_id=105970, that bug is still active and has not been fixed, so it will still occur in recent builds of WiX v3.0. I talked to a friend who helped narrow down what needs to be done to fix it, but none of the WiX volunteer developers has yet had time to implement and test the fix in the Votive source code.

For now, you should be able to use the workaround of unchecking the "save new projects when created" option in your VS settings.

Since WiX is an open source project, you are also welcome to grab the source code, make the fix and submit it back for the community to use if you have a chance.
