[WiX-users] Uninstalling typelib installer does not remove files or registry keys
Hi all.
I was hoping you guys could help me on this one.
I'm no installer expert (very far from it), but I'm the guy who is
responsible for making the installer package of my team's product (VB6
application).
I've been experimenting with WiX (v2) and I've chosen the following as a
test cenario: we have a type library wich is distributed to each developer
and installed/uninstalled in a automated way (calls to msiexec in a batch
file).
So far, I've been able to both copy and register the typelib in my test
machine; however, when I uninstall the product, neither the file nor the
registry keys (TypeLib\{GUID...} and Interface\IAppBckgnd) are removed.
I'm including a snippet of the .wxs file:
(...)
Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'
Directory Id='SystemFolder' Name='SFolder'

The easiest place to start is a verbose log. Capture one during install
and one during uninstall, like this:
msiexec /l*vx install.log /i mypackage.msi
msiexec /l*vx install.log /x mypackage.msi
Then take a look around the logging for InstallValidate. MSI records
there what it's going to do for each component. It should be absent
but if it isn't, it explains why.

[WiX-users] COM+ components not in Component Services
Sorry if this message appears twice, with Gmail refusing to deliver to Sourceforge and the recent mail problems, I've no idea if the previous message is queued or lost.. I've just been testing a merge module compiled with the latest v2 build (4415) and using pubca.wixlib. My test installer runs fine with no errors in the log file and no rollbacks and I see the interfaces I expect in the registry. However, when I look in Component Services, I don't see the 2 COM+ applications I've installed. This worked fine with 3116 and 3309 builds. On my test system, the COM+ apps appear and disappear as I install and uninstall with the older builds of the installer. Has anyone else seen anything like this with COM+ apps? There are lots of warnings during the build about not being allowed to have an Error table in a merge module in pubca.wxs but I don't think this is anything to do with my problem. Is it something to do with the bug referred to here : http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson5.php#5.12 ? I don't know what Gábor is referring to when he says it doesn't work. - Take Surveys.

Re: [WiX-users] Access violation in light.exe (v2.0.4005.0)
Yeah, thats a good point. We try to wrap all the handles in a using call but I expect there are some Record handles that are not disposed of directly. I wonder if we should work through the code and make sure everything is disposed of explicitly. 1. Just look on the release share and youll see the latest build. Its something like 4604. 2. Okay. 3. If this only happened once then Im not going to stress about it too much. However, I would greatly appreciate if you could open a bug to track this issue and if more people hit we can up the priority of hunting for the fix. 4. If you hit this again, Id be very much interested to hear about it... add a comment to the bug to make sure we can track to see how often this hits.

Re: [WiX-users] Preselecting feature and disable install on first use
Salut, seems I'm getting to my English limits with this. Let me have another try to explain it. I'm referring to the Customize dialog of the setup process where you can select the features you want to install. The main one, MainProgramm is selected by default and can not be deselected. The German feature is not selected by default, as well as the Firefox extension feature. What I now want is, that the Firefox extension is selected by default, if the user chooses the customize option and that it is installed when the user clicks Typical as well. I tried to set the InstallDefault attribute to local, but unfortunately it is not selected by default if I click on customize in the setup. I hope, I've explained it better now? Thanks for your patience, Stefan Bob Arnson-3 wrote: vbtricks wrote: selecting by default. Sorry, does that mean install locally?

Dup Registry Key
I have a type library that I need to register (I know...why
am I registering a type lib? I truly need to).
Anyway, I used RegCap to produce a REG file then I used
TALLOW to create the fragment. I got a LIGHT error so I removed lines
until I got the Wix script to the bare minimum to produce the error. The
error message seems obvious but I cant figure it out (maybe I need the
weekend really badly).
Heres the error message:

Here is the component that produces the error. The
error (line nnn) occurs on this line:
Registry Value=MyTypeLib
Constants Type=string /
If I remove this line then LIGHT is OK.
I am simply trying to set the default value for a registry

[WiX-users] Odd failure of XmlFile in wix-2.0.4221.0
All: I'm having an odd issue with XmlFile on a machine running Windows2003 Enterprise... The machine has an Intel Woodcrest/Greencreek chipset and is running a RAID as C:\ (although the machine also has a D:\ which this also happens on). I mention these because I have no rational explanation for what it's doing... My install proceeds as normal until the ExecXmlFile custom action gets fired off. At that point, a dialog box pops up with the following error: Failed to open XML file C:\Program Files\Verari Systems\VCC\OSMon\config\vcc.conf, system error: -214704786 I've seen the system error before, and I believe it means that the file doesn't exist. However, I used Explorer to browse to the file location and the file is indeed there and has the proper contents. Also, Orca shows that ExecXmlFile is sequenced at the tail end of the InstallExecuteSequence, so I don't believe that it's trying to open a file that hasn't been written to disk yet. The most bizarre bit is that it's only one specific type of machine that I'm having a problem with (a server that we manufacture)... I have had no issues with regular PC-type machines, or with a different type of server machine running the exact same OS... It's quite puzzling to me. Is there anything interesting or unique about the way that ExecXmlFile opens the XML file that might fail on exotic hardware? -- -- Eric Fesh Customer Support Engineer/Software Test Engineer Verari Systems Software, Inc. 110 12th Street North, Suite D103 Birmingham, AL 35203 Phone +1-205-397-3141 ext. 3149 Fax +1-205-397-3142 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.verarisoft.com/ The information contained in this communication may be confidential and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.

Re: [WiX-users] Odd failure of XmlFile in wix-2.0.4221.0
At the risk of spamming you all: I asked one of our guys here, and his guess is that two processes are trying to access the file at the same time... I'm trying to figure out how that could be as the only custom action related to it is SchedXmlFile... I guess that figures out where to sequence ExecXmlFile and ExecXmlRollbackFile? Can I sequence ExecXmlFile explicitly? -- Eric Fesh Customer Support Engineer/Software Test Engineer Verari Systems Software, Inc. 110 12th Street North, Suite D103 Birmingham, AL 35203 Phone +1-205-397-3141 ext. 3149 Fax +1-205-397-3142 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.verarisoft.com/ The information contained in this communication may be confidential and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.

The machine has an Intel Woodcrest/Greencreek chipset and is running a RAID as C:\ (although the machine also has a D:\ which this also happens on). I mention these because I have no rational explanation for what it's doing... My install proceeds as normal until the ExecXmlFile custom action gets fired off. At that point, a dialog box pops up with the following error: Failed to open XML file C:\Program Files\Verari Systems\VCC\OSMon\config\vcc.conf, system error: -214704786 I've seen the system error before, and I believe it means that the file doesn't exist. However, I used Explorer to browse to the file location and the file is indeed there and has the proper contents. Also, Orca shows that ExecXmlFile is sequenced at the tail end of the InstallExecuteSequence, so I don't believe that it's trying to open a file that hasn't been written to disk yet. The most bizarre bit is that it's only one specific type of machine that I'm having a problem with (a server that we manufacture)... I have had no issues with regular PC-type machines, or with a different type of server machine running the exact same OS... It's quite puzzling to me. Is there anything interesting or unique about the way that ExecXmlFile opens the XML file that might fail on exotic hardware? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] Release v3
I don't know whether this is right time and place to post my questions here. We have a stable Wix v2 project that contains the installation and configuration of VS 2005 dll, exe, database, windows service, web service. This afternoon I downloaded Wix v3 and got a lot errors and warnings. The preprocessors don't work, WebVirtualDir becomes an unexpected element for component, etc. Where can I find instructions on how to upgrade from v2 to v3? Thank you very much in advance.

If you downloaded the v3, youll also have an exe called wixcop in the distribution. Run wixcop on your existing v2 .wxs files, and it will automagically update them to the latest schema.

From what I've read, the Action:Null means that the install engine isn't going to do anything regarding that component (in my case, the only one). Do you have any idea why it thinks the action should be Null? Going back to the install log, look for another client -- if MSI thinks another product is using that component, it reports that in the log. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] Preselecting feature and disable install on first use
vbtricks wrote: What I now want is, that the Firefox extension is selected by default, if the user chooses the customize option and that it is installed when the user clicks Typical as well. I tried to set the InstallDefault attribute to local, but unfortunately it is not selected by default if I click on customize in the setup. I hope, I've explained it better now? Yep, much. Thanks. So my last message should apply -- the fragment you posted had the Firefox extension feature with a level of 1001, so unless your product's INSTALLLEVEL was 1001 or higher, it wouldn't be selected for installation by default. The feature condition disables it entirely but doesn't boost its install level. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] Changing attributes from DLL
Sigurd Stenersen wrote: I am successfully changing properties from a custom install helper DLL, and these properties trigger conditions within the MSI. I'm wondering if there is a way to access attributes directly from the DLL, as this would allow me to get rid of all the condition tags. E.g. rather than setting a property to have a condition change the level attribute of it's parent element, could I change the level attribute directly ? Not exactly, but you can set the feature to be installed. See MsiSetFeatureState in the SDK doc. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

SecureObj translates several names into well-known SIDs. It doesn't use
the NT AUTHORITY domain so just leave that part off. Here's the code
for NetworkService:
