[WiX-users] Duplicate registry entries (in separate feautures) in the same project..
Hi there, I have a problem, I need to specify the same Registry value, but the value has to be different in the separate Features, this - however, generates a error when trying to compile the project. I Have Feature A and B. Feature A is always installed, as a "core" component, and feature B gets added if a registry value is set to a specific value, of the user chooses it during installation. Feature A set a value: Feature B, changes this (default) value: Any ideas on how to resolve this is appreciated, could it be handled by putting the registry in a component, that has a condition? Would this work? I don't want to generate a .mst or have a different installer that sets this on top of the main installation. Regards, Tobias Bengtsson - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

You need to supply it only if you want to provide strings for languages your users might not have on their system. It's possible, as I mentioned previously, that the fallback behavior might not work for language-neutral packages because of a bug.

Strange. No need to do anything special when installing, right? Just place wix somewhere, and put it in PATH ? Or how do you install wix?

[WiX-users] Error Table
I've noticed that a lot of MSIs have a table called "Error". This contains strings such as "Please wait while Windows configures [ProductName]...". The full list can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/error_table.asp Some of these strings are used to populate the uninstallation dialog box. My wix-derived MSIs do not have this table. As a result, my uninstall dialog is extremely barren. Is there some simple way to populate the table with default values? Or do I have to set them all up manually? I'm using version 2.0.4221 of wix. Thanks, Alex - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] Customizing the uninstall progress dialog.
Thanks for suggesting that workaround. I've set the package languages to contain the same language as the product (1033). The progress strings are still not displayed during uninstall. I've tried setting the installer version attribute of the package to 100, 200, and 300. No difference. I haven't found anything on the web about this kind of customization, and the "WiX edit" tool doesn't seem to have any support for it. Has anyone managed to get this customization to work? Is there a sample anywhere that does it? Alex On 10/6/06, Bob Arnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Alex Mendes da Costa wrote: > > Thanks for your reply.

Re: [WiX-users] SQL Create Function Script
GO is not a SQL statement. The query parser inside SQL Server does not understand it. It is a direction to the client tools (e.g. Query Analyzer, SQL Server Management Studio, osql.exe, sqlcmd.exe) to send the current batch of commands to the server – it terminates the batch. In the source for ScaSqlStrsReadScripts in WiX 2.0.4415.0, the GO keyword is supposed to be detected and the script split into separate strings to be subsequently executed when the ExecuteSqlStrings custom action is called (this is scheduled by ConfigureSql which schedules ExecuteSqlStrings once per SqlString or batch from a SqlScript). Is only the first part of the script running (up to the first GO?) Are the parts which are executed consecutive, or are some omitted? The CA does send some debugging information to the debug output (using OutputDebugString); you might see some useful information if you use DebugView (http://www.sysinternals.com/utilities/debugview.html) when running the installer. -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jonas Abrams Sent: 08 October 2006 03:33 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] SQL Create Function Script We are using WiX to create an installation for our application. On install, we are executing some SQL scripts (to create a database and put in sample data) and it has been working great. Recently, we started using functions with our database and now we need to run a script that creates functions when installing. In order to run the script we needed GO statements after each creation, but with the GOs the script does not execute properly within Windows Installer. Is there another way to get the script to execute properly in the Windows Installer using WiX? Thanks, Jonas - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
