With no more week-skipping, today's meeting yielded only a handful of bugs to triage.
New issue triage
Bug 4791 | WiX 3.9 R2 lit.exe/light.exe throw IOExceptions Ending the Build When MultiProc is Enabled under TFS 2103 Team Build comes from long-time WiX Online Meeting attendee and peanut gallery member John Cooper. John was in attendance today but unfortunately had audio problems with Skype and couldn't hear what we were saying. I summarized in the Skype IM window that we needed more information and asked John to provide it in the bug so we know whether it's something we could consider taking in WiX v3.10.
Feature 4789 | Support .NET 4.6 RTM in WiX v3.10 is a feature request I opened to remind everyone that there's still a little bit of work left to do in WiX v3.10—specifically, supporting .NET 4.6 in WixNetfxExtension. As I assigned it to myself, I guess it's just a complicated way of putting a sticky note on my monitor so I don't forget.
Bug 4779 | Patch rollback works, but previous applied patch does not show in 'view installed updates' (after rollback) was a bug we discussed last week and requested additional details about. More details were indeed provided and I plan to take a look this weekend to see if I understand the problem or, lacking that, to at least pre-digest the logs and authoring for discussion at next week's meeting.
ETW logging
Heath requested a spot on the agenda to talk about adding event tracing to Burn. ETW is only available in Windows versions after Vista so adding ETW tracing to Burn would have to done in a "light-up" way that kept Burn compatible with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Heath had previously written a WIP on the subject. Today's proposal was to implement the "plan dump"—a really useful list of every action Burn plans to execute for a bundle—using ETW, so that the data's available when running on Windows Vista and later without breaking Burn's compatibility with Windows XP.
