If the table doesn't have anything in it, light will generally not generate it. There are some tables that it generates even if empty, but CreateFolders is not one of them.

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a member function of a DLL written in C#
Windows Installer loads and executes custom actions using the LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress APIs. The name listed in DllEntry has to be the name of a function exported from the DLL, exactly as . C# cannot generate exported functions (the CLR can, just about, but you have to use Ilasm and that's very painful). You would have to use a proxy C++ DLL to load the C# code - probably through CLR hosting to ensure that the correct version of the Framework is loaded. However, this is not recommended. Basically, you should try to reduce the dependencies of your custom actions as far as possible. Managed code custom actions are discouraged because they have a dependency on the Framework. If the user uninstalls the Framework before your application, your custom action won't work. Likewise, script is not recommended because it can be very hard to debug. Best practice is to use a native C++ DLL linked to the static CRT libraries. If you're careful and only use Windows API calls, rather than C run-time calls, it may be possible to avoid linking to the CRT at all. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mala Sent: 19 October 2006 10:21 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Calling a member function of a DLL written in C# I am developing a WIX installer for my application.

[WiX-users] Feature lost in dark (V3)
Hi.
I am trying to convert our work in InstallShield to Wix. Unfortunately
The InstallShield generated msi file is buggy (what else did you
expect).
using dark.exe (from Wix v2) gives me these nice warnings:
dark.exe : warning DARK1024 : Action 'RegisterTypeLibraries' in sequence
'AdvtExecuteSequence' is not a custom action, dialog, supported standard
action, or known special action so this action is being left out.
dark.exe : warning DARK1048 : The Typelib table entry with Id
'{C47EA90F-56D1-11D5-B159-00D0B7BA7544}' could have an incorrect version of
'256.0'. InstallShield has a bug relating to the Typelib Version column: it
will incorrectly set the value '65536' in to represent version '1.0'. However,
this number actually corresponds to version '256.0'. This bug will not affect
the typelib version that is registered during installation, however, it will
prevent the Windows Installer from correctly identifying whether a typelib is
already installed and lead to unnecessary reinstallations of the typelib.
I am very satisfied with this information. However If I use dark.exe
(from V3), I get another error and crash:
dark.exe : error DARK0001 : Cannot set column 'KeyColumn' with value 0 because
it is less than the minimum allowed value for this column, 1.
Exception Type: System.InvalidOperationException

I would really love to continue to see the warnings generated in V2 of
dark. Wrt. the stack-trace that dark generates in V3, it should be
considered as a bug-report.

Re: [WiX-users] CopyFile in Component gives problems.
To expound a little more, the WiX toolset only adds the tables that you *must* have for an MSI to successfully execute. Since the beginning of time, all of the other tools on the market added every single table and often included data that was never used. I thought that was wasteful and actually saw many developers modifying their behavior (debugging phantom issues, for one) because they thought they needed all of the tables. When I built the WiX toolset, I decided I would try to find the minimum set of tables actually required. I *think* we're there now (not that the Windows Installer team documents it anywhere smile/). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Dimmick Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 2:25 AM To: 'Jarl Friis'; 'Bob Arnson' Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CopyFile in Component gives problems.

Re: [WiX-users] uninstall: removing elements added by xmlfile
The XmlFile element wasnt quite powerful enough to handle all the scenarios people were hitting. K recently finished working on the XmlConfig element (in WiX v3, I believe) to be much more powerful. I dont think hes written down much about how to use it unfortunately, but you might take a look at that. It hopefully removes the need to write specialized CustomActions (_vbscript_?

Re: [WiX-users] FILEVERSION vs. FileVersion vs. PRODUCTVERSION vs. ProductVersion
AFAIK, there is no such thing as FILEVERSION or PRODUCTVERSION. The ProductVersion only comes into play for Upgrade scenarios. There only FileVersion concept is the Version column in the File table. All references to file version in the File Versioning Rules refers to that Version column for the files that are being installed/uninstalled/upgraded by the MSI and the actual file version resource is used when the MSI has to compare against a file that is already on disk. WiX doesn't expose the Version column in the File table because it can be auto-populated from your files and you can imagine how confused the Windows Installer could get if you put the wrong data in the Version column. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kirill Kovalenko Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 9:08 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] FILEVERSION vs. FileVersion vs. PRODUCTVERSION vs. ProductVersion Hello, I read MSI and Platform SDK but haven't found a clean answer for the difference between FILEVERSION vs. FileVersion vs. PRODUCTVERSION vs. ProductVersion.

The InstallShield generated msi file is buggy (what else did you
expect).
using dark.exe (from Wix v2) gives me these nice warnings:
dark.exe : warning DARK1024 : Action 'RegisterTypeLibraries' in sequence
'AdvtExecuteSequence' is not a custom action, dialog, supported standard
action, or known special action so this action is being left out.
dark.exe : warning DARK1048 : The Typelib table entry with Id
'{C47EA90F-56D1-11D5-B159-00D0B7BA7544}' could have an incorrect version of
'256.0'. InstallShield has a bug relating to the Typelib Version column: it
will incorrectly set the value '65536' in to represent version '1.0'. However,
this number actually corresponds to version '256.0'. This bug will not affect
the typelib version that is registered during installation, however, it will
prevent the Windows Installer from correctly identifying whether a typelib is
already installed and lead to unnecessary reinstallations of the typelib.
I am very satisfied with this information. However If I use dark.exe
(from V3), I get another error and crash:
dark.exe : error DARK0001 : Cannot set column 'KeyColumn' with value 0 because
it is less than the minimum allowed value for this column, 1.
Exception Type: System.InvalidOperationException
Stack Trace:
ved
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.ColumnDefinition.ValidateValue(Object value)
ved Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Unbinder.UnbindDatabase(String
databaseFile, Database database, OutputType outputType, String exportBasePath)

ved Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Unbinder.Unbind(String file,
OutputType outputType, String exportBasePath)
ved Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Dark.Run(String[] args)
I would really love to continue to see the warnings generated in V2 of
dark. Wrt. the stack-trace that dark generates in V3, it should be
considered as a bug-report.

Re: [WiX-users] FILEVERSION vs. FileVersion vs. PRODUCTVERSIONvs. ProductVersion
Hello Rob, Thanks for the prompt reply. Sorry for the confusion. I meant not MSI, but Win32 resource filelds and their relationship with MSI. FILEVERSION or PRODUCTVERSION are the standard fields of the VERSIONINFO Win32 recource file. http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms726776.aspx Sincerely yours, Kirill Kovalenko Product Manager Softerra LLC http://www.softerra.com http://www.ldapadministrator.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Mensching Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 7:21 PM To: Kirill Kovalenko; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] FILEVERSION vs. FileVersion vs. PRODUCTVERSIONvs. ProductVersion AFAIK, there is no such thing as FILEVERSION or PRODUCTVERSION. The ProductVersion only comes into play for Upgrade scenarios. There only FileVersion concept is the Version column in the File table. All references to file version in the File Versioning Rules refers to that Version column for the files that are being installed/uninstalled/upgraded by the MSI and the actual file version resource is used when the MSI has to compare against a file that is already on disk. WiX doesn't expose the Version column in the File table because it can be auto-populated from your files and you can imagine how confused the Windows Installer could get if you put the wrong data in the Version column. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kirill Kovalenko Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 9:08 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] FILEVERSION vs. FileVersion vs. PRODUCTVERSION vs. ProductVersion Hello, I read MSI and Platform SDK but haven't found a clean answer for the difference between FILEVERSION vs. FileVersion vs. PRODUCTVERSION vs. ProductVersion.

Re: [WiX-users] Using dark on a MSI generated with WixUI
Rob Mensching [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That's a thing Derek did a long time ago. The decompiler is smart and puts in what you need to just refer to the .wixlib again. That's pretty smart. But it seems to be a little too smart. Because if I modify some UI stuff with Orca, and then darken it, it *incorrectly* detects that the user interface is WixUI_Mondo. It is not WixUI_Mondo, it is a *modified* version of WixUI_Mondo, so building the MSI file back, will not include these changes. If you're looking for the source code of the Mondo UI, then just look in wix\src\ui\ext\UIExtension\wixlib. Thanks. Well I guess I was just playing with the tools. In case others are interested, I figured out that you can disable the UIExtension by modifying the dark.exe.config (that will result in the UI being part of the resulting wxs file.

Using the property as the directory ID I can easily get to the directory but it is unclear to me how to use the File element (or if I should) to specify as existing file.

The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table.

However, when the parent component does not contain any other elements than a CopyFile, I get the above error. Can someone tell me what it means? and what I should do to resolve it? MSI rules say that each component's directory must be created, either implicitly by installing files there -- the CopyFile doesn't count -- or explicitly with CreateFolder (in WiXspeak). So just add a CreateFolder element as a child of the CopyFile's Component element. It's harmless and satisfies the ICE validation error. I also found another way of solving this issue. put the component (that contained the CopyFile) into a DirectoryRef Id=TARGETDIR element. This is possible because I specify both source (by FileId) and destination (by DestinationProperty) explicitely in the CopyFile element. I consider this way of doing it to be cleaner, since I avoid an artificial CreateFolder element. Thanks for all the replies anyway. Jarl -- Jarl Friis Softace ApS Omøgade 8, 2.sal 2100 København Ø.

Re: [WiX-users] Fw: Uninstall a cached msi
I wouldn't exactly recommend it either, but if you can't re-create the MSI file (because it's not even yours or it's been on your system for months and you can't re-create it) then it's almost the only solution. I say "almost" because there's always MsiZap assuming that a) you trust it and b) you don't care that it doesn't remove everything. Given that MsiGetProductInfo tells you exactly where it is (INSTALLPROPERTY_LOCALPACKAGE) I wouldn't go quite so far as calling it an "undocumented data store".

[WiX-users] rookie here: suggestions for Votive / Web Deployment Project / wildcard inclusion ?
Hello all, I have come across WIX just recently and I am quickly growing attached to this solution. That said, I am hoping to get some direction on how to proceed with a commercial web application deployment. Current process (this are all steps of a team build): Libraries build Web site compiles Web Deployment project merges web assemblies Team Build takes output piped from web deployment and does some cleanup Deployment is really done through xcopy and database scripts (although the manual steps are removed by a home made installation). Now I want to move to MSI but vdproj does not offer enough flexibility. I was thinking that I could pipe the project outputs of either the team build or web deployment project into a wixproj but I see that is not the way things are done. No problem, I decided to create the wxs file manually then of course I recognize how long that will take given the hundreds of files involved. So I search for a way to add files using a wildcard, and recursively and run into some threads debating the use of FileGroup and it seems the winner was deprecating this element. From what I read there are tools that can help enumerate the files but my question is, how is this integrated if at all with Visual Studio / Votive? It seems like I might be better off giving up the idea that the deployment packaging can be part of my solution, and just have it exist as a standalone project to run after a release build. i.e. when team build is done take its output, and use some trick to enumerate the directories and files to include in a wxs. After each release build the manual task would be to compare the file set with a previous release, update GUIDs and edit the .wxs file am I on the right track? Does anyone have a good example of a .wxs that serves the installation of a web application that they could share? Thanks. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [WiX-users] CLR 2.0 assembly and the gac
Hi, when we are creating a distribution package MSI file through WIX toolset it consists of light and candle .exe which are capable of running on .net 1.1 assemblies. but when we convert our code to 2.0 framework, light.exe will fail to run on this 2.0 assemblies giving an error Invalid File Assembly - LGHT0006. In order to overcome this and make light.exe run successfully on our 2.0 assemblies add light.exe xml configuration file with the following information ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? !-- Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. -- configuration startup supportedRuntime version=v2.0.50727 / supportedRuntime version=v1.1.4322 / /startup /configuration this file basically says to light.exe to support both 1.1 assemblies and 2.0 assemblies. now light .exe successfully creates MSI on 2.0 net code.

That said, I am hoping to get some direction on how to proceed with a commercial web application deployment. Current process (this are all steps of a team build): Libraries build Web site compiles Web Deployment project merges web assemblies Team Build takes output piped from web deployment and does some cleanup Deployment is really done through xcopy and database scripts (although the manual steps are removed by a home made installation). Now I want to move to MSI but vdproj does not offer enough flexibility. I was thinking that I could pipe the project outputs of either the team build or web deployment project into a wixproj but I see that is not the way things are done. No problem, I decided to create the wxs file manually. then of course I recognize how long that will take given the hundreds of files involved. So I search for a way to add files using a wildcard, and recursively and run into some threads debating the use of FileGroup and it seems the winner was deprecating this element. From what I read there are tools that can help enumerate the files. but my question is, how is this integrated if at all with Visual Studio / Votive? It seems like I might be better off giving up the idea that the deployment packaging can be part of my solution, and just have it exist as a standalone project to run after a release build. i.e. when team build is done - take its output, and use some trick to enumerate the directories and files to include in a wxs. After each release build the manual task would be to compare the file set with a previous release, update GUIDs and edit the .wxs file. am I on the right track? Does anyone have a good example of a .wxs that serves the installation of a web application that they could share? Thanks. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[WiX-users] Separate ComPlusApplication in a fragment?
I'm using WiX 2
(2.0.4221.0)to install a single COM+ Application (a.k.a. package) with 14
Components. To test, I first built a simple.wxs that had a single
pca:ComPlusApplication as a child of a component. Within that I had a
pca:ComPlusAssembly and a few pca:ComPlusComponent tags for each
of the exposed classes. It all worked well - msi built, COM+ application created
during installation.
Now I'm trying to
"migrate" that out to my real install work and I'm running into an issue. I
moved the pca:ComPlusAppliation out to a fragment which also contains a
ComponentGroup and some ComponentRef entries like so (one for
each of the COM dlls):
Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi"
xmlns:pca="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2005/02/pubca"
Fragment ComponentGroup
Id="BusinessObjGrp" ComponentRef
Id="SBOAdmin" /
...{snip} ...
/ComponentGroup pca:ComPlusApplication
Id="AppObj" Name="My Objects"/ UI /
/Fragment/Wix
I used some custom
scripts to build a separate wxs for each of the COM objects and, for now, I've
manually created the pca:ComPlus entries like
so:
?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi"

/pca:ComPlusAssembly
/Component /DirectoryRef
/Fragment/Wix
To make this compile
with WiX, I added the @Application="AppObj" to each assembly tag in each
business object wxs file. The compile is successful but when I try installing, I
get the following errors:

Return value 3.
When I compare my
full-blown MSI which is failing to the simple one that works (using Orca) I can
see that the ComPlusApplication table is not populated. There is only one entry
(row) which has the Application id and the name but that single row is missing
the Component. And there isn't any other rows. I would expect there to be all 14
components listed somehow but they're not. I believe I've narrowed the problem
to this point.
What I can't figure
out is how to get WiX to associate (pick up) the pca:ComPlusAssembly and
pca:ComPlusComponent entries in the other 14 wix fragments. Has anybody
tried this or know of the trick. What worries me is this sentence from the 2.0
docs for ComPlusApplication Element:
"If the element is a child of any of the Fragment,
Module or Product elements it is considered to be a locater, referencing an
existing application."
Does this mean what
I'm doing w/ the separate files can't be done? Is there a way to create (and
probably correctly sequence) the creation of an empty COM+ application prior to
the creation/registration of the components?
Thanks!
John

[WiX-users] Private Assemblies with Wix
I hope this email gets through (several earlier emails sent from my gmail
account resulted in SMTP Error (state 9): 451-Could not complete sender
verify callout)
I've been working on the Wix installer for a project at my company for the
past couple weeks, but the project manager has decided that we should
install all our private dll's and exe's as assemblies. These files aren't
actually compiled as assemblies but he thinks we may be able to do so
anyways by making them private assemblies since those don't require
signing.
I haven't been able to find much documentation about assemblies here or in
the tutorial on tramontana, but I've pieced together the following in
the primary feature in the main wxs file:
Component Id=CrDllComponent Guid=MyGuid Win64=$(var.IS64)
File Id=CrDllFile Name=cr.dll KeyPath=yes
src=..\..\repository\Build\$(var.PLATFORM)\Release\cr.dll Vital=yes
DiskId=1 Assembly=.net
AssemblyName Id=Name Value=Assembly/
AssemblyName Id=FileVersion Value=$(var.PRODUCT_VERSION)/
AssemblyName Id=Culture Value=neutral /
/File
/Component
This compiles fine and when I run it it starts to install, but partway
through it gets a 2908 error and then says that it couldn't install
cr.dll. The relevant bit from the log file is:
MSI (s) (20:18) [16:44:59:283]: Executing op:

I'd appreciate any advice about what I'm doing wrong here, and would love
to know about any tutorials on installing assemblies with Wix that might
be out there on the net that I just haven't found yet. Thanks!

It goes, 'if it hurts when you do this, don't do that.' If you're talking about .NET, anything compiled to the CLR is automatically an assembly. If an assembly is strong-named, the actual target version of the assembly is compiled into the referencing assembly. At run-time, the Framework will look for strong-named assemblies in the GAC first, then in the local folder, then under the culture, a 'bin' folder, then 'bin\culture', then fail. For a non-strong-named-assembly, the GAC is not checked. Generally, I only sign an assembly if I actually intend it to be shared, and install it to the GAC; if it's only intended for one application, or not designed for compatibility between versions, I don't sign it and install to the application directory. These can only be serviced as part of an application. The Assembly=.net attribute instructs Windows Installer to add the assembly to the GAC. You cannot do this if it is not strongly-named - the Framework will not let you (and as I said, it would be pointless to try since the Framework won't look there for the assembly anyway). Tell your project manager that the technology does not support his suggestion. -- Mike Dimmick - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Unfortunately, it looks like procrun does all of the registry work on its own when you use the supported installation instructions. This means (and my earlier installer does this) that to install Tomcat as a custom action I have to use a Custom Action that runs the procrun daemon in install mode to get it all configured and happy, and another to remove it on uninstall. Ideally, the Jakarta folks would document how to translate what procrun does into matching registry values. From the doc, it looks like it just asks you to specify via a command line the same data (plus a bit more) in the MSI ServiceInstall and ServiceControl tables. Two options come to mind: - Read the code to see what it writes (e.g., for the JVM parameters). - Export the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services registry key, run procrun by hand, re-export, and diff. then, but I was fairly sure the answer would be Why are you using a Custom Action to install and start a service, you twit? So We'd never say that. Out loud, anyway.g Seriously, I, for one, appreciate anyone making extra effort to do setup in a declarative manner. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [WiX-users] Using dark on a MSI generated with WixUI
Bob Arnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Jarl Friis wrote: That's pretty smart. But it seems to be a little too smart. Because if I modify some UI stuff with Orca, and then darken it, it *incorrectly* detects that the user interface is WixUI_Mondo. It is not WixUI_Mondo, it is a *modified* version of WixUI_Mondo, so building the MSI file back, will not include these changes. The decompiler uses the presence of a WixUI_Mode property to detect when WixUI is being used. If you modify a standard WixUI set, you need to change the WixUI_Mode value if you want the decompiler to work as expected. And then you need to make sure there are no other conditions in the WixUI dialogs that will break if you change the value. Thanks for explaining. Really cool. As I also wrote, I can disable that smart detection by removing the UIExtension in dark.exe.config. Here is a Feature Request: A command line option to generate full UI source code (independent of the value of this property). Jarl -- Jarl Friis Softace ApS Omøgade 8, 2.sal 2100 København Ø.
