Re: [WiX-users] System.Security.SecurityException when runningcandle
If Ben's like me, he'll find that Joe's and Bob's excellent explanations lead him to a cliff edge in a new world about which he knows nothing, and perhaps needs to know nothing other than what's needed to get WiX to work. If that's the case, just following this formula should do the trick. It should at least point in the right direction. If the tools are on a network filesystem, the system must be configured (once) to allow execution of the WiX toolset from a network filesystem. This can be done by a user with administrator privileges using the following command %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CasPol -q -m -ag All_Code -strong -file "path\wix.dll" -noname -noversion FullTrust -name "WiX_Strong_Name" -levelfinal on where "path\wix.dll" is the path to any copy of wix.dll (including a local copy). The path to CasPol might be different, but this one is usually right. This command works for me, but I'm using a fairly old version of WiX 2; more recent versions might need a different version of .NET, but that's beyond my knowledge. Thanks again to whoever spelled this command out for me previously - it saved having to do a lot of learning when I was in a last-minute rush. > From: Joe Kaplan > Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 9:22 PM > > In this particular case, CAS is complaining because candle is > signed, but isn't marked with the APTCA > (AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute) in the > assembly level attributes.

Re: [WiX-users] System.Security.SecurityException when runningcandle
In this particular case, CAS is complaining because candle is signed, but isn't marked with the APTCA (AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute) in the assembly level attributes. As such, when it is launched from a partially trusted context (like a network share), it fails instantly. To get around this, you would need to grant the assembly FullTrust. This is easy to do in a granular, secure way though, because WiX is signed. You can use a strong name membership condition with the WiX public key token to grant FullTrust. It might be possible to code WiX so that it could safely include APTCA and actually could run partially trusted, but I'm pretty sure it does a lot of COM interop which requires Full Trust anyway and given that it is a development tool, this is probably not worth doing. The WiX team has plenty of other stuff to work on. :) If it were a downloadable control, then that would be a different story...

Re: [WiX-users] Components and SQL Issues
1. You probably don't want to leave the component behind on the system on uninstall in any case. It sounds like what you really want to do is make the removal of the database conditional. That sounds like a perfectly valid feature request to me. Unfortunately I can't think of a way to do it with the current implementation though. (You can only hard-code if the database should be dropped on uninstall.) 2. This bug has been puzzling me for a while. I agree that it is a valid assumption that a rollback should attempt to leave the system in a state as close to the original state as possible. The problem I believe is that the assumption when a CA finds an entity that it is meant to install itself already present on the system, is that it is the result of a failed installation or similar. It will then "tolerate the error" by proceeding anyway ignoring the fact that the entity was present on the system. The result of cause is that it will behave like it actually installed the given entity when performing a rollback and clean the entity up. It could be argued that the proper behavior is to fail instead in this situation instead of accepting the error. The problem with making this behavior fully transactional and never delete a resource we didn't create in the first place is that it is a lot more difficult to implement. Also I think that the general convention used by the Windows Installer is the current behavior of the SQL CA's. User data is handled a bit different by the Windows Installer though. And after writing this little essay I have convinced myself that the correct thing to do is to make the SQL CA's not drop the database on rollback if it was present before the installation. Just a small question: Have you given any thought to how you want to handle upgrade scenarios? Would you ever need to do modifications to a database left behind by an older version of your software when you are installing a new version?

Re: [WiX-users] Policy and Config files into the GAC?
I previously had a set of policy files which I packaged using Visual Studio's Setup and Deployment project type. To check we're on the right page, we are talking about .NET publisher policy, right? Where you're redirecting an assembly reference to a different version of that assembly? I ran the MSI through dark.exe, and this is what I got: I'd guess that this is the right way to do it. The link http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/msi/setup/adding_assemblies_to_a_package.asp says that "[a]ll of the files in the assembly should be in a single component." -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph BarkleySent: 08 September 2006 20:35To: wix-usersSubject: [WiX-users] Policy and Config files into the GAC? I've got some merge modules that contain policy dll files and config files for assemblies that need to go into the GAC. I have tried several different things to get these files placed into the GAC with the associated assemblies, but to no avail. I have tried adding them to the same component and set the main assembly as the KeyPath, but then I can't set the Assembly attribute on the other files (because the file with the assembly attribute also has to be the key file). I have tried putting these in their own components (config's and policy dll's) but they aren't "valid" GAC files. Previously, I had added everything in our InstallScript code to the GAC by using gacutil with *.*If this is not correct, how do I handle the policy and config files that go with the assemblies? Where should these be placed on disk if they don't go into the GAC? Thanks,Joseph - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [WiX-users] merge module for olepro32.dll
Vb6stkit.dll is part of the Visual Basic 6 Package and Deployment Wizard and isn't required for your program at runtime. It's a support file required by Setup1.exe. There's no need to include this file. The P&DW regularly included files that weren't actually necessary or were part of the operating system and should not have been redistributed separately, so I wouldn't follow the log file too closely. As far as I can tell there is no redistributable version of msimg32.dll, so if you actually need to use this DLL, you will have to limit support to Windows 2000 and later. You can find out which Microsoft products shipped a particular DLL by checking the DLL Help Database at http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/ -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Standa Kunc Sent: 08 September 2006 21:39 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] merge module for olepro32.dll Thank you all very much, this is the advice I needed. There is last unmerged dll file named vb6stkit.dll. Is there special merge module for this library? To be clear I want to merge all files that are written in the original non-msi setup.
