Re: [WiX-users] how to auto-update like ClickOnce in WIX
Thanks Jacob, Is this something I can spike and see how it works? Could you send me the necessary files and instructions?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] how to auto-update like ClickOnce in WIX My approach was to make the burn bundle responsible for the updates just like it was responsible for the initial install. With that, I have submitted some core changes to WiX which are currently in limbo of being accepted as the Detect call now requires a HWND to be passed. If and when the self-updating bundle changes get accepted, it will be as simple as: 1) Bundle created with WiX must utilize the /Bundle/Update/@Location to specify a URL to an atom feed for the application. 2) Atom feed must publish when new updates are available 3) Application is responsible for invoking the bundle and requesting an update check. Alternatively, a user can go to ARP and select modify. The modify page will have a check for updates button. 4) Regardless of if the Application or ARP invoked the check, if the atom feed indicates a newer version is available it will prompt the user to update. If the user updates, it will use the existing logic to download the updated bundle from the location specified in the atom feed. From there, it's nothing different than if a user had manually downloaded an updated bundle. As for the application side, I created a simple WixUtil.dll that you could include with your application to probe for bundle information based on a bundle upgrade code. With that, you can then read bundle properties like the ModifyPath which will have the path to the bundle on the local machine. -Original Message- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@firegiant.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 11:51 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] MSI upgrade remove old registries
Hi Nick I've just found out about your book and I'll buy it soon Point1) I am using WIX to write registries, an example is provided Component Id='SPRegChange' Guid='51a1f782-f0f7-4798-82c4-723596a8c140' KeyPath=yes ... RegistryKey Root=HKLM Key=SOFTWARE\DOT\EasyScreen Action=create RegistryValue Name=RootDir Value=[DIREASYSCREEN] Type=string / RegistryValue Name=RootDirEasyTrade Value=[DIREASYSCREEN][ETNAME] Type=string / RegistryValue Value= Type=string / /RegistryKey ... /Component And is then referenced in the product.wxs Feature Id='Registry' Title='Update Registry' Description='Configure Registry Settings' Level='1' ... ComponentRef Id='SPRegChange' / /Feature Point2) I think I am a bit confused about major and minor/small upgrade My first installer installs some files and registry My second installer then updates the files (90%) to new versions With some addition, edition to registry But I expect the registry values added by first installer to remain if I have not touched them by second installer. In this scenario, should I not do major upgrade? My impression of what you said is that major upgrade will remove registry values from first installer not touched by second When I tried to do a minor upgrade, I remember I kept the upgrade and product code the same And I had to run from in command line with REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus The problem was that it puts the registry values back to what the installer default had, but we need to have them unchanged. Point3) Please let me know if I should do a major and minor upgrade. At this point, both ways don't work and I am stuck Regards Brian -Original Message- From: Nick Ramirez [mailto:nickra...@hotmail.com] Sent: 18 October 2010 17:46 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSI upgrade remove old registries A major upgrade, as you probably know, will completely remove the old version. So, if your second installer does not write to the registry, it makes sense that the value will be removed but not replaced. You shouldn't change the UpgradeCode for the lifetime of the product, across all upgrade scenarios. Are you using WiX to write to the Registry? What does that code look like then? How have you got the minor upgrade set up? Is it a patch? Or a full install?

[WiX-users] MSI upgrade remove old registries
All, What I want to achieve: I'd like to do a major upgrade with old registry settings retained from previous installer. i.e. registry values previously installed by an older installer which later got updated I tried the following ways but still failed. Example: I have a previous install (Installer A) that populates the registry, say: hklm\Brian\Test : install=1 if I then change the registry manually afterwards hklm\Brian\Test : install=2 Case 1) Major upgrade If I do a major upgrade with another installer (Installer B), it removes hklm\Brian\Test completely. Installer B has a new packagecode and productcode but same upgradecode compare to Installer A. Installer B itself does not change hklm\Brian\Test I then tried with a different upgrade code, this works but you end up having multiple entries in Add/Remove Programs Case 2) Minor upgrade Do a minor upgrade with another installer (Installer C) using REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus Installer C itself does not change hklm\Brian\Test Result It reverts the registry back to what the previous installer (Installer A) default is. i.e. hklm\Brian\Test : install=1 Regards Brian _ This e-mail was sent to you by EASYSCREEN LIMITED (EASYSCREEN).

I wrote an installer ABC.1.2.3.0.msi which installs the full product I then create ABC.1.2.3.1msi as a patch and to install it I have to run in command line msiexec /i ABC.1.2.3.1.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus I put the above string in a ABC.cmd so that users can just run it by double clicking it. However, I notice that it requires the original ABC 1.2.3.0.msi in the same path of the ABC.1.2.3.1.msi Is this by design? And if so why? Also I tried ABC.1.2.3.2.msi and it only seem to need the original ABC 1.2.3.0.msi Then I tried to uninstall ABC.1.2.3.1.msi from Add or Remove programs And it correctly removes the file I patched (say mytest.dll) and left the rest alone However, if I reapply the patch, the mytest.dll file does not get installed?

However, I am able to run 599.msi straight after installing 309.msi How do u specify this range? 309.wxs Upgrade Id='b9bb6a3a-1cd3-4d20-a0b0-769c4eec4d0e' UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='NEWERFOUND' Minimum='2.2.40.309' IncludeMinimum='no' / /Upgrade 499.wxs Upgrade Id='b9bb6a3a-1cd3-4d20-a0b0-769c4eec4d0e' UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='PATCHFOUND' Minimum='2.2.40.309' IncludeMinimum='yes' Maximum='2.2.40.499' IncludeMaximum='yes'/ UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='NEWERFOUND' Minimum='2.2.40.499' IncludeMinimum='no' / /Upgrade 599.wxs Upgrade Id='b9bb6a3a-1cd3-4d20-a0b0-769c4eec4d0e' UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='PATCHFOUND' Minimum='2.2.40.499' IncludeMinimum='yes' Maximum='2.2.40.599' IncludeMaximum='yes'/ UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='NEWERFOUND' Minimum='2.2.40.599' IncludeMinimum='no' / /Upgrade Brian Yu EasyScreen (Marex Financial) 155 Bishopsgate London EC2M 3TQ 0207 650 4410 - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Add Dialog to prompt for username and pwd
This sounds like a good idea. To create a new account and give it admin rights Assuming the user installing the software has admin rights as well Can you show me how?

Its never a good idea to prompt users for credentials at install time. Its a bad security practice and it leads to coupling of your product with credentials for some account, both of which may be changed or deleted and cause your product to start failing unexpectedly and strangely. You are better off creating accounts that can't be used as interactive logins, setting their credentials (username/password) explicitly and then setting the COM+ component to run as this newly created identity. Add priveleges, permissions and group membership to the newly created identity in order to give it the necessary permissions it needs to do its work. A system administrator is much more likely to understand your configuration when browsing the newly created credential because it has a description of what it does: Foo Inc. Processing Service Login. Any decent system administrator should resist random credential queries from programs they are installing. In fact, if any program asked me to enter credentials at install time, I'd be unlikely to recommend it to any serious outfit. -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html Legalize Adulthood! http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
