Weird Windows Installer Resiliency Problem
I've noticed on system startup the Windows Installer resiliency functionality kicks in on the Commerce Server 2007 MSI:

I've look at the package using Orca and the component looks fine. Has anyone else seen this?

Yes I have. In fact another product that I have installed (DHL EasyShip Connect...a shipping tool from DHL) effectively breaks when CS 2007 is installed. When I start EasyShip those two events are recorded over and over until I shut down Windows. It looks like CS2007 has incorrectly advertised the component.
I am so glad you mentioned this. I posted something on the ng back during the beta but it was ignored (probably because I did not explain it well). Now that you have noticed as well I'm hoping it gets more attention.
Interestingly, the failing component {1B0028F3-E0BA-4CF1-A201-259A640881EC} (AspInstrinsics.dll in the GAC) has a namesake {FFE81BFE-7197-42BB-BBFE-6F9D9C7DAFDE} (AspInstrinsics.dll) installed in Microsoft Commerce Server 2007\Internal Assemblies. And the one in Internal Assemblies is the only assembly in that directory.
And they are different versions. Actually that might be the problem. Take a look at the msi File table using Orca. Files AspIntrinstrics.dll (the namesake) and AspIntrinsics.dll.GAC (the failing component). Both are listed with version 6.0.3724.0, but the actual file in the GAC is 6.0.1.0.
I read in the comments to this blog entry,
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/01/13/352649.aspx
that the version of the file can lead to a "request of null", which I'm guessing might be the "The resource '' does not exist."
Hey Andy,
The versions you are seeing are correct:
AssemblyVersion is the binding version as far as the .NET Framework is concerned which is probably why you see it as 6.0.1.0 in the GAC. But I think you might be on to something where the version number differences may be confusing the resiliency features to think that an older version has replaced the file it is looking for.
Can anyone from the product group comment on this (and/or ping the internal Windows Installer DL for comment)?
Cheers,
Colin
I getting the errors when I install UPS WorldShip 9.0. There are actually 5 events in a row. They repeat several times.

It is possible that there is some component conflict between the two products.
You can try repairing the Commerce Server installation using:
msiexec /famus {79069318-A3E1-46C7-BF37-512FA9CAAFBB} MSIUI=1 /l*vx repair.log
In the log file that is created during the repair, look for the feature 'Feature.MS.CS.Interop' and the component '{0913EFD4-967F-4B7D-89F6-5D65D21A0464}'. You may be able to find some additional details about the error.
The other possibility (from looking at the other event log entries) is that the UPS Worldship product is trying to load the Commerce Server performance counters. I dont know why it would do this. Perhaps that products installer has some custom actions that do this (MSI wont load/modify performance counters natively).
I repaired the installation using the command line you suggested. Both "Feature.MS.CS.Interop" and "{0913EFD4-967F-4B7D-89F6-5D65D21A0464}" appear many times in the log, but no errors were recorded in the log file of any kind.
DHL EasyShip Connect (another shipping software product coincidentally) also causes similar events to be recorded in the Event Log. So after running the repair and restarting (the installer wanted a restart), I launched DHL EasyShip Connect. The following events were recorded:

This sequence of events was repeating, apparently forever and DHL EasyShip Connect never appeared. After letting this run for about 10 minutes (which generated 6+ iterations of the sequence above) I could not shutdown and had to power off the computer.
If I run DHL EasyShip Connect in a VM without Commerce Service it works fine.
DHL EasyShip Connect is free from DHL if you want to see it for yourself...or I could send you a copy.
