[WiX-users] Fwd: RemoveFolder question

2013-10-18 Thread BGINFO4X
Hello again, Is it possible that uninstalling my program on Windows 2008 R2 fails removing the shortcuts, but uninstalling it on W7 works well (all the program and shortcuts are removed) ? This is my case It is crazy, but true. Thanks a lot for your time. I attach the code, perhaps here is

You are correct, it's the web installer. The full redistributable is named dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe is 48.1 MB in size. Looking at the source for the WiX installer, in \src\Setup\Bundle\Bundle.wxs it contains the following: Chain PackageGroupRef Id='NetFx40Web' / So

Good point Rob. Our QA just whines me constantly that the installation package has weird structure. I'll have to use Mr. Delambre's approach :-) Thank you both for your replies Best regards, Veli-Matti Visuri On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 7:12 PM, Rob Mensching r...@robmensching.com wrote: We

I don’t like the installer which is used since V3.6 (Wix36.exe, Wix37.exe). Why it isn’t possible to release a MSI file as used before V3.6 (Wix2.msi, Wix3.msi, Wix35.msi)? -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free

Hi, I am calling a custom action on uninstall just to ensure that our 5 services are actually stopped before we try to remove them... However I am getting an error that confuses me since everything looks kosher... Anyone see any issues with what I am doing? Here is the error from the log

Most likely because the installer is installing pre requisites and other tools, it is also using its burn technology. There are multiple MSI's being run. steve -Original Message- From: Jens Teutenberg [mailto:jens.teutenb...@t-online.de] Sent: October-18-13 8:30 AM To:

It'd be nice if there was some easy way to leverage the redist directory in your own Packages without a massive effort. Setting Name attribute of MsiPackage only works if you have the package embedded in your bundle. It completely ignores it in the case of a DownloadUrl e.g. MsiPackage

Your hunch is correct. There are 2 main reasons for the use of Burn as far as I know. 1 - dogfooding 2 - WiX installs a bunch of packages now instead of one monolithic package. If you look in \src\Setup\Bundle\Bundle.wxs you'll see it chains .NET 4.0 full, ProjectAggregator.msi if you have

The problem appears to be as described in that stackoverflow link. You may be calling the managed Dll directly from the installer, Windows is expecting an unmanaged Dll, and so it describes the Dll as corrupt. It might be worthwhile figuring out why the standard StopServices doesn't always work.

We picked a folder (redist seemed as good as any) since many people want the root of their media to be clean. Thus it's clearer to the user what to double click on (aka: there is only one file named setup.exe). I can vouch for this - I've had to do the same thing in response to QA and customer
