Re: [WiX-users] GDI+ MergeModule
Thanks - that works perfectly! Removing the CDATA makes it compile. When I install it on WinXP the dll is not installed, but on Win2k it is - just like I wanted. The component is now: VersionNT=500 Or NOT Version9x="" Thanks for helping! John Vottero wrote: > > Yes, you still have access to VersionNT and Version9X.

Re: [WiX-users] GDI+ MergeModule
I sometimes suggest things from the top of my head but this I actually tried to compile and link. And for Wix2.0.5325.0 it works. What version are you using? You can leave out stuff as long as your condition doesn't use < or > as the expression. I picked it up as a best practice.

Re: [WiX-users] GDI+ MergeModule
Hi and thanks, I was thinking the same; that it was something outside this block that caused the problems. However, I don't have any more CDATAs or "]]>" in this WiX file. This file only contains a fragment, and I have another xml containing the block. This file does not contain any CDATA either. The program is compiled and msi created using SCons, so there is a SConstruct file starting this. Unless this adds any extra outer xml behind the scenes there is no CDATA to be seen. Everything works fine when removing the condition line. You say that I probably don't need the CDATA. Do I get access to the parameters VersionNT and Version9X outside this? I'm sorry if I ask any stupid questions, but I'm new to WiX and haven't used CDATA before neither.. John Vottero wrote: > > I don't think you need the CDATA for your condition.

I don't think you need the CDATA for your condition. Conditions are usually wrapped in CDATA because they often contain < and > characters. That being said, are you sure that the problem is actually in the fragment that you posted? Your CDATA looks fine to me, I'm thinking that maybe something else is messing up the parsing and makes candle think that you have a "]]>" in your CDATA.

Re: [WiX-users] GDI+ MergeModule
See if this helps. It describes the issue. The summary seems to be that Microsoft didn't update the merge module but InstallShield did, so your safest approach is to use that InstallShield one (and you could use Orca if you really want to check that the file version there in the merge module is the corrected version). http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/topic/gdi.htm Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of stian Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 2:11 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] GDI+ MergeModule Schrieken, Rene wrote: > > I have no experience with gdi+ but afaik it is just one download: > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6a63ab9c-df12-4 d41-933c-be590feaa05a&DisplayLang=en > Thanks.
