Re: [WiX-users] Private Assemblies with Wix

2006-10-20 Thread Mike Dimmick

Private assemblies are simply installed as files. Don't specify the Assembly
attribute at all, nor the AssemblyName elements.

Generally you don't actually specify the  elements; light can
fix those up for itself. If you want the FileVersion to be specified, you
can use the -fv switch to light. Only if light gets it wrong do you need to
add AssemblyName elements.

You get the error from setting Assembly="win32" because Windows Installer
then expects the key file to be a native assembly manifest. While they have
the same name, .NET and Win32 assemblies are actually quite different.

Yes, we're using .Net so I was told that all the files already have an
internal manifest so I shouldn't need to worry about an external manifest
file. We intend to make the public dll's shared at some point in the future,
so I think the intent is to be consistent by treating all the dll's and
exe's as assemblies, either shared or private.

So would the above code be correct if it were a shared dll? (If I added a
publicKeyToken value at least) What do i need to change in order to have
cr.dll treated as a private assembly? I tried just changing ".net" 
to "win32", however for some reason that caused light.exe to start
generating errors about other unrelated files in other features, saying
"file.ext : error LGHT0124 : Not a valid manifest file; detail: Data at the
root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."

And i'd still like to know if thee are actually any good tutorials on the
subject since even if I end up having to give up on the private assemblies
I'll need to figure out how to handle the shared assemblies later.

Re: [WiX-users] Web Application Pool

2006-10-20 Thread Tina Basinger

I think we have one application pool per web site as well.  However, I am working on an upgrade scenario, and do not want to re-configure the application pool if it exists because the user may have updated settings on it since the original install.  The same applies for the web site we create, but it happens that the WebSite element has a ConfigureIfExists property that we can set to No.

I am not sure the answer to your question, but we create application pools

Re: [WiX-users] Configuring Web Site

2006-10-20 Thread david adams

Tina:

What version of WiX do you use?  When we got the same error, it had nothing 
to do with Port Numbers.  I do not think that the Port Numbers are the way 
that they are identified, but an Id in the ISS Metabase (for example: 
"Default Website" is usually 1).

We got the error when trying to install multiple web sites to a server 
(which your installer would be doing if you installed to an IP with one Port 
Number and change the Port Number for a subsequent install).  To WI, you 
would be installing a second web site.

The bug has been entered.  We are working around it in the interim by 
managing file versions.  It seems as if the bug was introduced after release 
3309.  We current use release 4221, but manually copy the sca*.dll files and 
sca.wixlib from the 3309 binary releases.

I think that Mike published the C++ code that would fix the problem a couple 
of weeks ago.  Not knowing C++ & with current project requirements, I have 
not tried it.  If you would like, I will check my email history later to see 
if I can find and republish it.

[WiX-users] How to give permissions to subfolders?

2006-10-20 Thread Balaji A.K.

During deployment of my msi, I need to give network service account all rights on a particular folder and all subfolders and files (read, write, delete). The permission element that I have defined for the root folder is like this.      What
 I am finding is that the Network service has rights only to the root folder and not to any other existing subfolders under the root. What are the other attributes that I need to specify so that this permission propagates to all the subfolders? I can play with different attributes but just wanted to make sure that I do it the right way.      Thanks

[WiX-users] Configuring Web Site

2006-10-20 Thread Tina Basinger

Can someone share some insight into the ConfigureIfExists attribute of the WebSite element?  I have this set to No, and have found that if after installing my web site, I edit the port number of it, and then upgrade my install, I get an error during the install saying "Failed to read IIsWebs table [-2147024774]".  I have included the verbose logging of the ConfigureIIs custom action below.  I am guessing that the Wix custom action to create the web site is looking for the web site via the port number.  What I'm confused about though, is if it doesn't find the web site at the given port number, why it doesn't just create a new web site.  
I've edited properties other than my website port number, and the upgrade has worked successfully.  Can anyone explain why you can't edit the port number?  Are there other properties that you can't edit that I might not have run into yet?
 
Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] msiexec.exe repair options - o value

It's not the file time. It's basically the same as the MSDN topic about
file versioning with/without file hash: 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/set
up/neither_file_has_a_version.asp

Yes, we're using .Net so I was told that all the files already have an 
internal manifest so I shouldn't need to worry about an external manifest 
file. We intend to make the public dll's shared at some point in the 
future, so I think the intent is to be consistent by treating all the 
dll's and exe's as assemblies, either shared or private.

So would the above code be correct if it were a shared dll? (If I added a 
publicKeyToken value at least) What do i need to change in order to 
have cr.dll treated as a private assembly? I tried just changing ".net" 
to "win32", however for some reason that caused light.exe to start 
generating errors about other unrelated files in other features, saying 
"file.ext : error LGHT0124 : Not a valid manifest file; detail: Data at 
the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."

And i'd still like to know if thee are actually any good tutorials on the 
subject since even if I end up having to give up on the private assemblies 
I'll need to figure out how to handle the shared assemblies later.

Thanks!

But if you're calling it from a custom action, aren't you detecting a
FilesInUse condition that the standard one did not detect?  I'm not why
you'd call it from a CA if MSI is showing FilesInUse when necessary.

Re: [WiX-users] Best Practices - Creating Databases

2006-10-20 Thread Cullen Waters









My suggestion is to use a single script for the initial
installation.  Any upgrades or patches, or subsequent versions should be broken
up.

 

On first installation, when you are creating the db, you can be
reasonably certain through testing that your script will succeed.  On any
successive installation action, you cannot be certain that someone didn’t make
some change to the database in their installation that will cause your script
to fail.  I would separate the scripts, if for no other reason than easier
debugging of setup failures, since you’ll be able to log each script separately,
and know which script is failing.

 

The comparison to C# or VB code isn’t valid, in my opinion. 
Database scripts are completely different.  I would certainly expect that you would
keep your scripts separate in your dev tree. My gut feeling is that your msi
will be smaller if you use a single file instead of thousands of file, and will
execute faster.  There will be fewer entries in the file table, and much less
I/O.  Also, you will only have to pay the overhead of connecting to your sql
server once, instead of once per table/sp/etc.

 

Just my .02

Ok, I'll take a stab.  I
don't know what the best practice is, but I can tell you what we are
doing.  We have a large database with many, many tables and even more
stored procedures.  We use one sql file to create the tables (that file is
under 100K) and break the stored procedures up into multiple files.  After
much testing, we haven't ever had the table creation or the stored procedure
creation fail during an MSI install.  I've asked this list and other
install lists before what other people are doing and it seems every person you
ask does it slightly differently.  

Just to prepare you for what's ahead, it is slightly more difficult to pull off
an upgrade successfully.  We have more rollbacks on upgrade because
sometimes people have changed the database for one reason or another and then
we're left with the database in an unpredictable state.

Re: [WiX-users] Separate ComPlusApplication in a fragment?

2006-10-20 Thread John Watson

To update further, I've logged Bug #1581309 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1581309&group_id=105970&atid=642714
) about this. I've also found I can tweak my auto-generated .wxs into .wxi include files and have them included in the "driver" BusinessObj.wxs fragment file down below the ComponentGroup section. I still have to manually "nominate" one of the COM+ DLLs to contain the ComPlusApplication entry while all the others have an @Application= pointing to it. At least I can get by and still keep some semblance of modularization.

Note that this work around still does not address the issue reported in the bug. When first switched to include files, I forgot and left the separate ComPlusApplication out as a child of Fragment and none of the Component includes had it listed - only referenced via @Application=. When I first compiled and checked the .msi the Component column was empty and I immediately realized what I had done. I then moved the ComPlusApplication tag down under one of the Component objects and it worked.
On 10/20/06, John Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Thanks for your reply Bob ( do you ever sleep or just "live" on this list? :) ). I've done a bit more testing and have some empirical evidence of what the problem is. I went back to my simple.wxs testing and added a second COM+ assembly:

Single "simple.wxs" file.
First COM+ component contains children: File, Registry(s), ComPlusApplication, ComPlusAssembly, ComPlusComponent(s).
Second COM+ component contains children: File, Registry(s), ComPlusAssembly (with added @Attribute=AppObj referring to earlier ComPlusApplication in first COM+ comonent), ComPlusComponent.
This revised simple test installs correctly, creates the COM+ application and adds both COM+ components - a total of 5 COM classes between the two DLLs. When I compare the "full-blown" msi to this new testing one I can see that the ComPlusApplication table is not being filled out correctly. It is missing the field/column "Component" -
a.k.a it's empty. On my simple.msi there is only one row in the ComPlusApplication table and it points to the first COM+ component (also where the ComPlusApplication tag was as indicated above).
I guess for now the work around is for me to manually merge my 14 individual wxs files (one per DLL - autogenerated) into the one "driver" BusinessObj.wxs that had just a ComPlusApplication child under the Fragment tag. According to the docs, as I said before, doing that seems to trigger "locator" behavior where it expects to find an existing COM+ application in the target install machine. If only there was a way (
e.g. @New=true) to trigger the creation behavior.

Does this mean what I'm doing w/ the separate files can't be done? Is there a way to create (and probably correctly sequence) the creation of an empty COM+ application prior to the creation/registration of the components?
I know nothing about the COM+ CAs but I read that as saying that the "existing application" is one already present on the system, not being installed by the COM+ CAs in your package. If that's how it's designed, it makes sense that the extension wouldn't populate the ComPlusApplication table.
Can you put the ComPlusApplication element in its own component? As long as that component is installed along with the other components that contain the ComPlusComponent authoring, it should work, no?. Of course, remember what I said about knowing nothing about the COM+ CAs.

v3?  And, if upgrade is the answer, is v3 stable enough to use currently?

Re: [WiX-users] How to show "FilesInUse" dialog _always_ ?

2006-10-20 Thread Stefan Pavlik

Sorry,

It is possible to publish property from FilesInUse dialog, but I am
not able to read it in deffered Custom Action even if using the
CustomActionData property.

Any other ideas?

Subject: [WiX-users] Best
Practices - Creating Databases



 

This is a “best practices” question.  I
need to create a database for my application.  For example sake,
let’s say I have 100 tables to create along with related indexes and
keys.  I can easily generate one large script and use that in my WiX
project.  On the other hand, I could break the script down such that I
have one script per table.  Of course, numerous other possibilities exist
as well.  What is the “best practice” for this scenario?

Re: [WiX-users] How to show "FilesInUse" dialog _always_ ?

2006-10-20 Thread Stefan Pavlik

I have already realized that it is not possible to Publish the
property from FilesInUse dialog because this dialog is called from
InstallExecuteSequence.

So I am posting my question again:

Is there a way to determine wheter the FilesInUse dialog was
already displayed by InstallValidate action (and answered by user)
in order to not display it again (from custom action)?

Thanks
Stefan

Re: [WiX-users] How to show "FilesInUse" dialog _always_ ?

2006-10-20 Thread Stefan Pavlik

Hi list,...


Is there a way to determine wheter the system FilesInUse dialog was
already displayed (and answered by user) in order to not display it
again (from custom action)?

I can publish a property from the customized (authored) dialog and
check it in th CA. But what about the build-in FilesInUse dialog
(during basic UI)?

On the other side - I can ommit additional check for FilesInUse when
running in basic UI.


Thaks in advance...

Re: [WiX-users] check for ASP.NET support?

2006-10-20 Thread Friedrich, Oliver









Hi,

 

I do not like to answer
to myself, but I think I found a way to discover is ASP.NET is registered on a
machine through a registry-key.

 

Who only needs to check
if ASP.NET-2.0 is registered to the local IIS can do it like this:

 



 


Property>

 



 


Condition>

 

In my case this was not enough,
our setup needs to check if registration has happened, and if not, it should be
done during setup, therefore following code was needed:

 





 


Property>



 


Property>



 


 
  

 
DirectorySearch>

Property>

 





 



 
NOT Installed AND NOT
ASPNETREGISTEREDCustom>

InstallExecuteSequence>
