We use Wix 3.0.
Some of our customers complain that the installer doesn't recognize USB drive
or other removable storage when installing.
So basically, in "Destination Folder" page, the end user tried to change the
install folder to a USB drive. But there is no USB drive showing up in
drop-d
Hi Joseph,
Let's first make sure we use correct terminology. Wix is a tool to create MSI
installers. MSI installer installs, upgrades and uninstalls products and while
doing that, it also creates/deletes folders among numerous other things.
One thing you can use to solve your problem is the fa
I don't know of any explicit setting to change this default behavior in
Windows Installer.
The best way to handle it would probably be to have the install manage
configuring the permissions on the directory. There is some native
permissions options in Windows Installer but they are not very robu
Hi all,
My apologies if this is already answered somewhere, but I couldn't find an
answer. My question is:
How can I setup a Wix installer to NOT delete the application directory on
uninstall (even when the directory was initially created by the Wix install)?
Some background:
Let's say we ha
Would love to include translations for the extensions. Unfortunately,the
people contributing right now only seem to read/write/speak English so we're
dependent on the help of others.

Hello WiX community,
I noticed that although WiX dist provides a number of predefined
translations for UI, those translations don't include WiX extensions
(IIsExtension, SqlExtension, etc.) Only en-US.wxl is present in each of
them...
Does anybody have a translated set of extensions to the same s
Hello Wix community,
The torch.exe help text seems a bit misleading to me. For instance, I
was sure I could write something like this:
Torch.exe ... -serr abcdef...
but I couldn't. And only after looking down in code I realized it should
be "-serr a -serr b", etc.
Something wrong with me? :) O
Not sure if it helps but there is an example here:

So you cannot change schema in a transaction. So unless your installer only
updates data, it's not a useful conversation :)
How do we go about updating the db? We talk to our customers about their
deployment and upgrade strategy and train them. It involves a lot more than
clicking the installer
No transaction.
Standard operating procedure is that the admin makes a full backup before an
update. Point. Admins not doing backups - should be fired.
Run the script. Use transactions for small data changes - but nothing else. If
something goes wrong, tell the admin to put in his backup ;)

Here's what I'm trying to do: I have two solutions - one for my main
application and its associated projects and another for my database (VS
.dbproj) and its associated projects. What I'd like to do is include the
output from the database project (a .dbschema and some SQL scripts) in my
installer
I am wondering about how you guys handle transactions in db upgrade scripts.
>From what i have seen sql server, does not allow create/alter/drop functions
in transactions unless you have some flags sets.
First am i correct with this?
Next how do you guys go about updating the db? Should i surro
I agree - this is an oversight in Votive. Here was my workaround:
1) In the wix prebuild, add the following to create the transformed web configs:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe
..\..\..\PathTo\MyWebApp.csproj /t:TransformWebConfig
/p:Configuration=$(ConfigurationNam
That's exactly what I did (in C#), and I even used Elmue's cablib:-) It
works fine, but it gets a little "heavy" even if I can extract single files

For now I include the files as binary items and read them as such. I didn't

Yes, it's possible to extract files from the binary table using a custom
