Re: [WiX-users] Adding records to MSI on the fly
I am trying to allow users to select which WebSite they wish to install a virtual directory under. I have used the method describe here which gives me the list however the virtual directory is still installed under the default web site since the port of the Web Address is the same. This is my declaration of the web site as is stated in the WiX help. "Nesting WebSite under Product, Fragment, or Module results in a web site "locator" record being created in the IIsWebSite table. This means that the web site itself is neither installed nor uninstalled by the MSI package. It does make the database available for referencing from a WebApplication, WebVirtualDir or WebDir record. This allows an MSI to install WebApplications, WebVirtualDirs or WebDirs to already existing web sites on the machine. The install will fail if the web site does not exist in these cases." and under a component I reference this Web Site Any help on what I need to do would be greatly appreciated.

Removing the Listitem from the Combobox also didn't work because that dropped the whole table all together as there are no other comboboxes. So I figured out 2 ways of doing it: 1. Orca By editing the MSI with Orca I was able to remove the offending value from the Combobox table. 2. This causes an ICE17 warning but it still compiles I removed the combobox Listitems from the combobox I want to populate and created a separate combobox with width and height = 0 (to make it invisible). I gave this dummy combobox 1 Listitem to force the creation of the Combobox table. I also tried doing a create table query to get create the required Combobox table but can't get it to work The query looks like this: CREATE TABLE `ComboBox` (`Property` CHARACTER(72) NOT NULL, `Order` SHORT NOT NULL, `Value` CHARACTER(64) NOT NULL, `Text` CHARACTER(64) LOCALIZABLE) PRIMARY KEY `Property`, `Order` TEMPORARY if anyone know how to solve this let me know, if only to get the ICE17 warnings to go away. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Adding-records-to-MSI-on-the-fly-tf3150241.html#a8749870 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

SFP is a WinMe feature that no one every used (you are the first person to ever ask about it).

Re: [WiX-users] Wix 3.0 and Votive?
Actually, for us, we use a common settings file at the top of the file. In the settings file, we have . This element can be overridden in each project file. If you go to the property pages for a wix project, there is a button on the compiler tab for Advanced Properties, or something like that. Put your semicolon separated list in there. Alternatively, if you like to edit XML by hand, you can right click on any project (for any project type, actually), and select unload project. Once it's greyed out in solution explorer, right click again, and select Edit MyProj.wixproj. It will open in the VS main window, with the XML editor open.

Re: [WiX-users] x86 and x64 in same wxs / msi ?
If a component contains items that need to be in those 64-bit locations, than they need to be marked as such in the component tag (Win64="yes"). It seems that all components are 32-bit by default (even in a 64-bit package). You might want to mock up a few quick installers to see this behaviour so you get an idea of where things are installed on the different architectures. Because of that, we've had to structure our source to have two components (one 32-bit and one 64-bit) that are then chosen between at build time based on some preprocessor variable. From the msdn documentation (and this is my guess as to why the WiX team choose this course of requiring the components also be marked as 64-bit). http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368007.aspx Set this bit to mark this as a 64-bit component. This attribute facilitates the installation of packages that include both 32-bit and 64-bit components. If this bit is not set, the component is registered as a 32-bit component.

[WiX-users] Default REINSTALLMODE for repair
Hi, I've run into a minor issue when repairing an install built with wix 3.0.2420.0. I'm using Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm and if I repair C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700\msvcr80.dll is reported as in use. This causes a reboot prompt at the end of the repair, ReplacedInUseFiles is set. It is reported as in use by mscorsvw, msiexec and rundll32. A possible cause for this is that the ReinstallMode is set to 'ecmus' VerifyReadyDlg. If I interpret the documentation correctly 'e' means to always repair files. So even if the file isn't missing or broken it is repaired. Shouldn't 'ocmus' be enough? 'o' to repair if the existing file has an older version, and 'c' to repair if the checksum does not match? Or does this have some negative consequences? The default is after just 'omus'. /Johan - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [WiX-users] Adding tons of files to an MSI
Thanks for your answers, I'm almost there, I think... > There will be a hierarchy that will > be setup toward the bottom of your wxs file that you can modify to have the > right TARGETDIR that you want. The wxs file is auto generated, so can you elaborate how I change the targetdir without modifying the auto generated wxs file manually? Can I somehow specify a link/reference/whatever to the directory tree in the auto generated wxs from some appropriate place in my primary product.wxs? E.g. ? - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[WiX-users] COM+ install not working on servers
Hi, I have a COM+ installation (built with Wix 2.0.4820.0) that works on W2K Pro machines but not on any servers. I tested the install on 3 clean W2K clients but when it comes to any server install (W2K or W2K3 SP1) I get the following error: MSI (s) (24:FC) [10:12:17:137]: Invoking remote custom action.
