Hi all,
is it possible to disable the target directory selection GUI elements,
depending on a condition?
The whole story: a product is delivred in modules (each is one msi)
which a user can purchase and install in any order. It is essential that
he always selects the same target directory.
We have something similar where they can choose a location for first install
but upgrades have to go
to the same place. I just disable the UI elements that allow the user to
choose where to put
things. I suspect you can also just not specify feat...@configurabledirectory.

Thanks again, must have overseen the preprocessor articles. :-)

Who wrote the MSM? Ask them to fix the failing custom action, or at least
determine why the custom action is failing, or how to determine why the custom
action is failing.
If the custom action that is failing is attempting self-registration, this
would be a good opportunity to get rid of that
Ok, I found this old posting on the same issue I am having.

It would look like I need to switch from XmlFile to XmlConfig to do what I need
to do. I see the example that Brian posted was
util:XmlConfig Id=AddElementText
XmlConfig, just like XmlFile, depend on the XML file already existing when the
action runs. The syntax between the two actions is slightly different, and the
capabilities are slightly different, but I'm not sure what you are referring to
when you say do I need to delete the file first or can I
Not sure. The semi-pseudocode would look like the following, however:
[assembly: AssemblyDefaultWixExtension(typeof(MyConcurrencyExtension))]
class MyConcurrencyExtension : WixExtension
{
private ValidatorExtension myValidation;
public override ValidatorExtension ValidatorExtension
{
The installer copies two files; an exe and a config (the xml file) into the
same directory (finally got that to work!). The next thing I need to do is
update the xml config file with the 3 command line parameters being supplied
during a silent install. Currently I am just testing 1 parameter
Just an aside:
For the File attribute of the util:XmlConfig element, instead of
[INSTALLLOCATION]\RollCall.exe.config you could use [#RollCallexeconfig].
That would protect you against changes in the directory name and even
filename of the file you are updating, especially since you are always
Is there any way to control the # of service start attempts on
ServiceControl or elsewhere in the .msi file? MSI seems to try 7 times to
start my service before declaring an install failure. The service is not
starting due to no fault of wix or MSI and so I am not asking about that. I
just want to
Hi, I am trying to compile this project on my local VS2008 but I keep
getting the following errors:
Error 1 The Language parameter is not supported by
the VsTemplatePaths task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and
it is a settable public instance property.
I'm at a loss...
I have this currently

Got it
I can't believe I have been chasing my tail this whole time I had

Hi All,
This isn't so much a WiX specific question, but more of a Windows
Installer one... however those on the list seem to have a pretty good
understanding of all the rules we should be following so I'm hoping
someone can point me in the right direction.
Currently for our main product I'm
I understand Product/@Id is an XPath fragment but where is such syntax
used in conjunction with wix? I could find no such usage in any wix or
project files that I am using. Just trying to understand what you are
talking about. Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

Hi Sascha, I also do that same exact thing since I use the same .wxs file
for x64 and x86 and define unique product codes for each but was wondering
where exactly you were using/seeing that xpath syntax fragment of
Product/@Id which is different than the 3rd line of what you just listed
which is
Hi Dave,
I'm not using the fragment *in* my WiX sources, I'm using it for
clarification in referring *to* my WiX sources... does that make
sense?

Yes thanks! I had seen a couple such references before and did not realize
you all were talking like an xpath compiler J Kind of like talking like a
pirate. Arrgh! Sorry I can't help with your actual question.Dave

Hi Blair,
I did a smoke test (using smoke.exe) on the .msm(containing custom actions)
I got this result.
It results into following error.
error SMOK0204 : ICE03: Table: Error Column: Error Missing specifications in
_Validation Table (or Old Database)
