Locate the failing contract

NS_E_SETUP_DRM_MIGRATION_FAILED_AND_IGNORABLE_FAILURE is the result to preserve when migration operation failed and setup also recorded a separate optional skin or playlist installation failure. This result comes from Windows Media setup and DRM transfer, whose state machine implements setup-time migration that carries forward legacy DRM components and state while separately installing Player skins, playlists and other optional media assets.

Use the failing operation itself to separate the migration state HRESULT from the optional component failure in setup logs.

Evidence from one operation

A complete incident ties together source DRM state, destination component version, setup migration phase, rollback marker and optional media-component install result; the minimum correlation set is the setup phase, source and destination versions, migration log entry, first HRESULT before rollback and whether non-DRM optional components also failed.

The comparison is useful only if it preserves the fact that migration operation failed and setup also recorded a separate optional skin or playlist installation failure.

Avoid a false conclusion

DRM transfer failed and setup also recorded a separate optional skin or playlist installation failure.

Model the rejected precondition

The transition that returns this result begins with separate the migration state HRESULT from the optional component failure in setup logs. If that observation matches, the next state cannot be reached until the implementation can repair migration operation independently; treat the optional asset error as a second issue.

One-attempt evidence

Field	Value
Direct check	separate the DRM transfer HRESULT from the optional component failure in setup logs

A defensible test

Preserve it and 0xC00D2AFF before cleanup, fallback or another media item changes the context.
Run the direct check: separate the migration state HRESULT from the optional component failure in setup logs.
Compare the failure with a known-good case that changes only the property named by this condition: migration operation failed and setup also recorded a separate optional skin or playlist installation failure.
Apply the targeted fix: repair DRM transfer independently; treat the optional asset error as a second issue.
Associate it with its current Windows Media setup and migration state object and the requested action.

Other conditions in the same family

Result	Why it points elsewhere
`NS_E_SETUP_DRM_MIGRATION_FAILED`	setup could not migrate legacy Windows Media DRM state into the destination installation

Resolution test

The appropriate response is to repair migration operation independently; treat the optional asset error as a second issue.

Preserve the evidence before making changes. Do not erase the source DRM state before collecting setup and migration logs; an empty source can make the next run appear successful while permanently losing usable licenses.
