    Z Sample Application wix problems

    I'm trying to play with the z sample application (from SDK 5.3), but the .wxs file that comes with it doesn't seem to be compatible with the current Wix3.0 release.

    It gives the following errors (summarized):

    Line 607, DestinationName and DestinationLongName cannot both be specified. Further, DestinationLongName is deprecated. So I remove the DestinationLongName attribute.

    Lines 897, 907, the DirectorySearch Id "EhomeDirectory" is a duplicate.  So I append "1" and "2" onto the end of EhomeDirectory for each one to make them unique.

    Wix now runs and creates a .MSI file, but when I run it, near the end it starts rolling back.  The install log shows:

    MSI (s) (94:A4) [13:09:04:074]: Executing op: ProgressTotal(Total=1,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=1300000)
    MSI (s) (94:A4) [13:09:04:076]: Executing op: ServiceInstall(Name=DownloadManager,DisplayName=Z Download Manager,ImagePath="C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Z\DownloadManagerService.exe",ServiceType=16,StartType=3,ErrorControl=32769,,,,,Password=**********,Description=Manages file downloads for the Z Windows Media Center Sample Application)

    Action ended 13:09:05: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
    MSI (s) (94:A4) [13:09:05:326]: User policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0

    Can someone help me get this straightened out?
