[WiX-users] How to create folders and shortcuts in the Start Menu? (Wix 3.0)


Hi guys,
I couldn't find any working example of how to create a folder in the Start 
Menu and then include some shortcuts inside. It looks to be quite easy, but
I 
couldn't find the way to do that.

Does anybody have any good example?

Thanks,
Erich.

Re: [WiX-users] Registry Value / Preprocessor issue

2007-03-15 Thread Richard.Foster

Jason,

The error message is actually more helpful than it might seem at first.
The names you have provided for the preprocessor to use are simply not
valid.

If you are defining those items using ? define  ?, or the -d
prompt at the command line then you need to prefix them with var.
whenever they are referenced.

If the items are environment variables, you must prefix them with
env..

What you *probably* want is the following:

$(var.hClientWnd) $(var.Node) $(var.DBUserID) $(var.ConnectionString)
$(var.Product)
PackageReport ChangeDoc [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unfortunately without knowing how those items are defined, I cannot be
sure of that.

Regards,
Richard

Re: [WiX-users] Change Back/Next/Cancel buttons size

It certainly looks like a clash between your own dialog and the one in the WiX 
UI libs.  I've never 
used the WiX provided stuff, so I'm not sure how to override a dialog with your 
own.

Re: [WiX-users] Locate a required file during an install

Thanks for the advice Rob.  I've got the directory browsing dialog in
place, but I'm having issues getting my dll to work.

When I hit the Next button in my dialog, I get an 'installer
information' message window that says There is a problem with this
Windows Installer package.  A DLL required for this install to complete
could not be run.

My dll is mostly a duplicate of the sample custom action example in the
tutorial (http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php )

#include stdafx.h 
#include windows.h
#include msi.h
#include msiquery.h

#pragma comment(linker,
/EXPORT:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
#pragma comment(lib, msi.lib)

extern C UINT __stdcall CheckLicenseFiles (MSIHANDLE hInstall) {
  char Pid[MAX_PATH];
  DWORD PidLen = MAX_PATH;

  MsiGetProperty (hInstall, MYFOLDER, Pid, PidLen);
  MsiSetProperty (hInstall, LicenseFilesFound, true);
  return ERROR_SUCCESS;
} // CheckLicenseFiles


I have a property MYFOLDER defined, as well as LicenseFilesFound
Property Id='MYFOLDER' Value='c:\'/
Property Id=LicenseFilesFound Value='false' /



Here's snippet from my dialog:

Control Id=Next Type=PushButton X=236 Y=243 Width=56
Height=17 Default=yes Text=Next
Publish Event=DoAction
Value=CheckForLicenseFiles1/Publish
  Publish Event=SpawnDialog
Value=InvalidDirDlgLicenseFilesFound = false/Publish
Publish Event=NewDialog
Value=SetupTypeDlgLicenseFilesFound = true/Publish
  /Control


I have noticed that in Visual Studio the source platform for the dll is
Win32 as opposed to .NET.  Could that be an issue? I'm entirely
unexperienced with the .NET platform.

Thanks again,
Chris

Here's a sample of what you're (hopefully) looking for.  As I understand
it, you want the user to 
browse to a directory where getyour existing files are, and then you
want to verify them.  The 
attached include files are put together from a couple of our products,
and have had the usual secret 
stuff sanitised.  So they might not work as-is, but will at least give
you an idea of what you're 
looking for.

In GetExistingFilesDlg the user is prompted for a path.  This value will
be stored in the property 
MYFOLDER.  When they click next, this will call a custom action called
checkFiles.  This will have 
to be a DLL custom action which you need to write.  It will need to get
the MYFOLDER property, look 
for the files, and then write back a property called FILES_EXIST with
yes if they exist, and 
something else if they don't.  You need to set [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
'check' or 'ignore' because 
you need the action to finish before the installer continues.  The other
actions attached to the 
'Next' button are based on  the value of FILES_EXIST which you've just
written.  The installation 
will either continue, or the user will get a pop-up dialog.  This is
FilesAbsentDlg.  The user is 
told the files are not there, and clicks OK to go back to
GetExistingFilesDlg.

The mailing list appears to be banning zip files, so I've renamed the
extension to .piz

P.S. I've not attached the binary files for the background images.

 Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Locate a required file during an install

 Here's a sample of what you're (hopefully) looking for.  As I understand
 it, you want the user to
 browse to a directory where getyour existing files are, and then you
 want to verify them.  The
 attached include files are put together from a couple of our products,
 and have had the usual secret
 stuff sanitised.  So they might not work as-is, but will at least give
 you an idea of what you're
 looking for.

 In GetExistingFilesDlg the user is prompted for a path.  This value will
 be stored in the property
 MYFOLDER.  When they click next, this will call a custom action called
 checkFiles.  This will have
 to be a DLL custom action which you need to write.  It will need to get
 the MYFOLDER property, look
 for the files, and then write back a property called FILES_EXIST with
 yes if they exist, and
 something else if they don't.  You need to set [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
 'check' or 'ignore' because
 you need the action to finish before the installer continues.  The other
 actions attached to the
 'Next' button are based on  the value of FILES_EXIST which you've just
 written.  The installation
 will either continue, or the user will get a pop-up dialog.  This is
 FilesAbsentDlg.  The user is
 told the files are not there, and clicks OK to go back to
 GetExistingFilesDlg.

 The mailing list appears to be banning zip files, so I've renamed the
 extension to .piz

 P.S. I've not attached the binary files for the background images.

 On one hand I think I might need a custom action, on the other hand,
 that functionality is already part of WiX (i.e. using
 ConfigurableDirectory in a Feature) I'm not sure if it's accessible in
 the context I'd like, a separate step in the install sequence.

 Can anyone offer a suggestion on the correct course of action?

[WiX-users] Custom UI

2007-03-15 Thread Jacquet Fabian

Hi,

 

I'm trying to make my own custom UI with wix.

 

I reed this tuto: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/

But I really don't understand how make the sequence.

In particular the After attribute of the Show tag (in InstallUISequence)

And the Event attribute of the Publish tag in controls.

The only event I understand is NewDialog which is really simple.

 

Could someone help me or give me url of another tuto or doc?

 Thank you

Re: [WiX-users] Locate a required file during an install

I honestly don't know :-)   I'm totally inexperienced in this area.

 

I tried to mimic a working example I had, and both the wix elements and
the c++ source look equivalent (to me)

 

Is there some documentation that describes what you're talking about?

 to be a DLL custom action which you need to write.  It will need to

 the MYFOLDER property, look
 for the files, and then write back a property called FILES_EXIST with
 yes if they exist, and
 something else if they don't.  You need to set [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
 'check' or 'ignore' because
 you need the action to finish before the installer continues.  The
other
 actions attached to the
 'Next' button are based on  the value of FILES_EXIST which you've just

 written.  The installation
 will either continue, or the user will get a pop-up dialog.  This is
 FilesAbsentDlg.  The user is
 told the files are not there, and clicks OK to go back to
 GetExistingFilesDlg.

[WiX-users] German Messages

2007-03-15 Thread Ian Couper

I've built some MSIs and they seem to all have certain messages that
always appear in German. I have used the English localization file, and
almost all the text in the installer is English, but some messages are
still German. This is not usually an issue, since these messages are
normally only on screen for a few seconds, but if the installer is run
on a slow machine it will be visible. Is there any reason for this? Is
there an easy way to replace these with English?

 

Thanks.

Hi,
 
I use the MSVBVM60.msm to deploy an application made in VB6
 
In the log file of the installation, I can see this
C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSVBVM60.DLL
 
But when I run my program, it say it need vb6fr.dll
If I copy this dll in the system32 directory it's ok, but it's not
really clean.

[WiX-users] Overide a file version to force upgrade

2007-03-15 Thread Chris Bardon

On to an upgrade question-I have an installer that just installs a
single EXE right now, and I'd like to be able to create an upgrade path
for it.  The trick is, I'd like to be able to have a package that will
upgrade within the same file version.  If I change only the package code
(small upgrade), and set the condition to upgrade minimum version
1.0.0.0 inclusive, the upgrade still seems to run from the command line,
but no files are actually changed unless their versions have been
modified (e.g. changing the exe's version to 1.0.0.1 from 1.0.0.0).  I'd
like to be able to leave the exe as version 1.0.0.0, and then publish an
installer that will replace the version on the target machine.  In
Installshield, I was able to do this by setting a property that overrode
the file version for upgrade checks-is there a way to do the same in
Wix?  All I want to do is update components where the version is less
than or equal to the version in the package-not just less than.  This
comes up a lot in our development/QA builds.  
 
I'd also rather not mess with the version numbers by incorporating a
build number at the end (i.e. 1.0.0.X).  All four segments are
meaningful to our apps, and you can't seem to add a fifth, so we're sort
of stuck.  
 
Any suggestions?

[WiX-users] Conditional Display of dialog

2007-03-15 Thread ChesterFool


I have an msi with 2 custom dialogs in it.  The first one has a single edit
that the user will enter a registration code in. The next button has a
Custom Action called ValidateRegCode that calls to a helper dll to validate
the users entry.  If the user has entered a valid registration code the dll
sets the property REGISTRATIONCODEVALID to 'true'...if the code is not valid
it sets REGISTRATIONCODEVALID to 'false'. Depending on the value of
REGISTRATIONCODEVALID I want to go to either my other custom dialog straight
to the VeriyReady dialog.

This all seems to work fine except that I have to click on the next button
twice to move the the next dialog???

The code for my dialog looks like this: 

Dialog Id=RegistrationCodeDlg Width=370 Height=270
Title=[ProductName] [Setup] NoMinimize=yes
   Control Id=RegCodeLabel Type=Text X=45 Y=73 Width=220
Height=15 TabSkip=no Text=Registration Code: /
   Control Id=RegCodeEdit Type=Edit X=45 Y=85 Width=220
Height=18 Property=REGISTRATIONCODE Text={80} /
   Control Id=Back Type=PushButton X=180 Y=243 Width=56
Height=17 Text=amp;Back
   Publish Event=NewDialog
Value=[RegistrationCodeDlg_Back]1/Publish
   /Control
   Control Id=Next Type=PushButton X=236 Y=243 Width=56
Height=17 Default=yes Text=amp;Next
   Publish Event='DoAction' Value='ValidateRegCode'1/Publish
   Publish Event=NewDialog
Value=[RegistrationCodeDlg_FALSE]REGISTRATIONCODEVALID=false/Publish
   Publish Event=NewDialog
Value=[RegistrationCodeDlg_TRUE]REGISTRATIONCODEVALID=true/Publish
   /Control
   Control Id=Cancel Type=PushButton X=304 Y=243 Width=56
Height=17 Cancel=yes Text=Cancel
   Publish Event=SpawnDialog Value=CancelDlg1/Publish
   /Control
   Control Id=Description Type=Text NoWrap=no X=25 Y=23
Width=280 Height=30 Transparent=yes NoPrefix=yes
   TextPlease enter your registration code. /Text
   /Control
   Control Id=BottomLine Type=Line X=0 Y=234 Width=370 Height=0
/
   Control Id=Title Type=Text X=15 Y=6 Width=200 Height=15
Transparent=yes NoPrefix=yes
   Text{\WixUI_Font_Title}Registration Code/Text
   /Control
   Control Id=BannerLine Type=Line X=0 Y=44 Width=370 Height=0
/
/Dialog

I know that the dll is being called properly as I can see it in the install
log file and I can write out to file in the dll when it gets called.

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx
Chuck

[WiX-users] heat errors scanning files

2007-03-15 Thread Chris Bandy


I'm using heat with the -scom flag to generate a file with all of the
registry settings directly. This is being used as the first step in an
automated build script that's external to the dev environment. The problem
is heat keeps generating a popup error when it tries to scan certain files
and it pauses the entire script until you click ok, is there any way to
suppress this popup box either with heat or within the perl script I'm using
to run the build?

The Directory / definition will create a folder in the startmenu named

Re: [WiX-users] How to create folders and shortcuts in the Start Menu? (Wix 3.0)


Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if you want the shortcut
installed for All Users, you need to define this property:

Property Id=ALLUSERS Value=1 /

If you don't, inside that Component / you can have this:

RemoveFolder Id=MyRemFolder Directory=ProgramMenuFolder1 On=uninstall
/

  *Directory* Id=ProgramMenuFolder Name=PMenu LongName=Programs
*Directory* Id=ProgramMenuDir Name='Foobar10' LongName=Foobar
 1.0
  /
  /*Directory*
 
  The Directory / definition will create a folder in the startmenu
 named
  Foobar 1.0.  This does this, because it's parent is the
  ProgramMenuFolder,
  which is one of the define System Folders found here:

Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch fails in Wix 3.0


Yes, you're 100% right. if the default value is empty, then the answer is
that the folder doesn't exist even if it does. I changed the example to ask
for a value inside it, and it worked. I copy the new version for the sake of
the community :-)

Property Id=SEARCHFORNET20
 RegistrySearch Id=RegistrySearch2 Root=HKLM Type=raw
Name=Install Key=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727/
/Property

Thanks,
Erich.

 Maybe you'll want to set the @Name equal to one of the registry values
 found
 in that key, such as the Install or something.  Then, if SEARCHFORNET20 is
 set to anything, it exists.  If not, then it doesn't.

Re: [WiX-users] Overide a file version to force upgrade

2007-03-15 Thread Stefan Krueger [MVP]

I would prefer incrementing the file version number. If that's not feasible, 
you could set REINSTALLMODE to vemus instead of vomus (o = overwrite 'o'lder 
version, e = overwrite older or 'e'qual version). Version lying can have 
undesired side effects, like downgrades or unwanted auto-repairs.

On to an upgrade question-I have an installer that just installs a single 
EXE right now, and I'd like to be able to create an upgrade path for it. 
The trick is, I'd like to be able to have a package that will upgrade within 
the same file version.  If I change only the package code (small upgrade), 
and set the condition to upgrade minimum version 1.0.0.0 inclusive, the 
upgrade still seems to run from the command line, but no files are actually 
changed unless their versions have been modified (e.g. changing the exe's 
version to 1.0.0.1 from 1.0.0.0).  I'd like to be able to leave the exe as 
version 1.0.0.0, and then publish an installer that will replace the version 
on the target machine.  In Installshield, I was able to do this by setting a 
property that overrode the file version for upgrade checks-is there a way to 
do the same in Wix?  All I want to do is update components where the version 
is less than or equal to the version in the package-not just less than. 
This comes up a lot in our development/QA builds.

I'd also rather not mess with the version numbers by incorporating a build 
number at the end (i.e. 1.0.0.X).  All four segments are meaningful to our 
apps, and you can't seem to add a fifth, so we're sort of stuck.

Any suggestions?

Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch fails in Wix 3.0

2007-03-15 Thread Stefan Krueger [MVP]

You cannot search for the existance of a registry KEY (folder icon in 
regedit), only for a value. Type Directory means that this value should be 
treated as a directory (with trailing backslash).

[WiX-users] verify file existance custom action

I read that managed code in a custom action is a no-no (please forgive
me if I use the wrong terminology) so I am attempting to write my custom
action without using managed code.  Most examples I find seem to use it,
however, so I'm doing the best I can.

 

I wrote a simple VC++ app (.exe) that will determine if some files
exist.  I probably did it badly, but it worked in that context. 

I took the same code, and cut paste into a VC++ file I had setup to
create my dll.

The code was previously a working snippet that would simply set a msi
property to true and return ERROR_SUCCESS.

I am now trying to make it do something useful.

 

After the cut paste I got some build errors and followed (somewhat) the
steps listed here to resolve them.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=814472

The dll built successfully, but when I run the installer I get error
2896, Executing action [2] failed.  That doesn't tell me too much.

 

I stepped backwards until I had one line that I could comment/uncomment
to make the dll work(return true)/not work(error 2896)

 

The one line that causes it to fail (and concequently causes the dll to
double in size) is:

 

ifstream fin1(filename);

 

Down the road I was doing 'if (fin1.good())' to see if the file exists
(like I said, probably a bad way, but it was the first thing I did that
seemed to work)

 

Is attempting to do this fundamentally wrong?

Also, I'm running the installer with /l* but I'm still not getting
anything particularly helpful.  Are there better techniques for
debugging?

Re: [WiX-users] verify file existance custom action


Can you post your CA C++ code?  Also, you don't need to have a DLL custom
action to check for the existence of a file.  You can do something like this
in your WiX source:

Property Id=MyFileExists
 DirectorySearch Id=MyDirSearch Path=some path here Depth=1
   FileSearch Id=MyFileSearch Name=myfile.extension /
 /DirectorySearch
/Property


If the file has been found, then the MyFileExists property will be set to
the full path of your file.  Is this what you're looking for?

You're probably running on a German version of XP, aren't you? Any Installer

[WiX-users] Product codes and component guids

2007-03-15 Thread Nick Johnson


Is there any reason not to have a script automatically regenerate the product
code for each build? To my understanding, it has to change with every
release anyway, so why not automatically generate it?

Also, it's my understanding that component GUIDs are supposed to change
whenever their contents change. What's the best way to handle this? When
we're making a release, it's not immediately obvious what components have
files that have changed since the last release, and there's no way we can
regenerate the guid on a component every time anyone makes a change to any
of the files it's composed from.
