Re: [WiX-users] CreateObject in C++ for .NET COM interop?

2006-11-09 Thread WenWu Ru 
Basically some application specific code needs to be run by the installer 
after installing or before un-installing the application files.  .NET 
Framework is already installed prior to installing the application.  The 
application is a .NET applcation.  "MyCustomActions.dll" contains methods 
that needs to run application specific business logic, therefore have 
dependency on .NET.  These methods are invoked via custom actions during 
install (after InstallFinalize) or uninstall.

It's strongly recommended to avoid managed code in custom actions. Best
practice is to keep your custom actions entirely self-contained, which
generally means writing them in C++ and statically linking to the C  
runtime

library. That's how all of WiX's custom actions are built.

What does 'MyCustomActions' do? It may be that the tasks it performs can be
performed with native Windows Installer functionality or existing WiX 
custom

actions that were not available through InstallShield.

Subject: [WiX-users] CreateObject in C++ for .NET COM interop?

Our installer includes a .NET assembly component MyCustomActions.dll, which
is marked with !0.NET COM interop!1 in InstallShield.  At installation,
InstallShield runs "regasm MyCustomActions.dll /regfile MyCustomActions.reg
/Codebase" to create registry entries on the target system to allow COM
objects to call the .NET assembly.  MyCustomActions.dll assembly contains a
class that is derived from System.ComponentModel.Component and is marked
with [ComVisible(true)].  A few custom actions written in InstallScript
calls CreateObject to create an object instance and invokes the functions.
For example:

set ojb = CreateObject("MyCustomActions.TestClass1");
result = obj.TestMethod1();

Now that I am converting it to WIX, I need to write the equivalent code in
C++ for CreateObject.  From what I understand, I need to import the type
library for MyCustomActions.dll and create an interface pointer with
CoCreateInstance.  However, MyCustomActions.dll assembly does not 
explicitly
declare any interface, and currently no type library is created in the 
build

or install process.  How does CreateObject create the instance and invoke
the method?  I am hoping that I do not have to modify the source code and
build script for MyCustomActions.dll.

Thanks,
-WenWu
P.S.  Instead of importing the type library, another idea I tried but 
failed
is to import the ProgID, e.g. #import "MyCustomActions.TestClass1".  Maybe 
I

am not using the correct import attributes?

Subject: [WiX-users] Specifying component install order

I can actually try to install the child device driver before the bus driver.

Is there a way to specify the sequence of file installations? In this case,
it would be an advantage to have a component installed before another
component.

Best regards,
   Calin


Hello,

 I am working on a Setup Wizard made with Windows Installer on XML and
DIFxApp ver 2.01. The setup can install 2 driver packages, where one of the
drivers is a bus driver, and the second one is a regular device driver for a
child device. It seems that from time to time, a "New Hardware Wizard" will
pop up after installing the bus driver. I would like to prevent that from
happening as it requires more user input. I have tried to:
 - place the drivers in the same install directory; this fails because
DIFxApp allows only one inf file to be placed into that temporary folder
 - place the drivers into separate directories; "New Hardware Wizard"
still appears
 - use SetupCopyOEMInf from a Custom Action executed before the driver
is installed; it seems that SetupCopyOEMInf is called too soon and the
source does not exist. If possible, please tell me before or after which
Custom Action should it be called.
 - use CopyInf inside the bus driver. The operation fails if the child
device driver's inf file is not on the same directory (because the INF path
is not known).

 I appreciate your assistance.

Best regards,
 Calin

Re: [WiX-users] Message Queue Help Needed

2006-11-09 Thread Mike Dimmick 
I *think* Emma's problem is that using the '.' syntax installs the queue
locally for the node that you're running setup on; to make a
failover-tolerant queue, you need to use the cluster's name (attached to a
virtual shared IP address) in the queue name. That's what isn't working.

Emma:

Like Mike, I do not have much experience with clustering, but I would
suggest trying a Public Queue as well.  The Public Queue is addressable via
the machine IP and may better meet your needs.

Likewise, we have a separate MSI that runs on the MessageQueue server that
installs the queue.  You can do a similar thing by having the queue as a
separate feature that is only selected on the target machine.

Re: [WiX-users] error LGHT0039 with dts.msm

2006-11-09 Thread Mike Dimmick 
If you don't have any other custom actions, WiX may not actually create the
CustomAction table, which might be what's causing the merge to fail. You can
force a table to be created if it would otherwise be omitted by using the
 element:



This ensures that the table already exists in the MSI before the merge is
performed.

As Bob says, MSDE merge modules are now deprecated due to the many problems
with them. You can find a list at
http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/bugs_msi.htm#wimsm.

I upgraded to the latest binary build on SourceForge (3.0.2211.0).

A bit painful as tallow has been deprecated and Heat is very much different,
but have it working again in my headless build.

Unfortunately the registry entries are still in [!MyServerExe] format not
[#MyServerExe].

Maybe the next build then.

I'm not sure exactly when the change was made, but the current version uses
[#] syntax. BTW, if you use WiX v3, you should consider taking drops more
often. As v3 is still in development, schema changes still happen and if you
wait too long, you can get hit with a lot at once. The WixCop tool upgrades
the schema so it's not a manual job at least.

Re: [WiX-users] Need help to create a virtual directory

2006-11-09 Thread david adams 
Ravi:

I  think that this is more of an IIS issue than one of WiX or the Windows 
Installer.

IIS references websites in its meta-table by .

By rule, you can have only one running web site under a specific combination 
at a time.  They are referenced by an positional array (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.).  
On a IIS 6 server in its "default" configuration, Default Website is at 
address "All Unassigned" (which is the first IP address on the box) at Port 
80 with no host header.

The reason that it worked when you changed all port numbers is because to 
IIS (& the joined constraint that the IP / Port /  creates), 
you created unique entries.  Before that change, your actions would be 
getting done onto the already existing website.

[WiX-users] Maintaining File and Folder ACLs

2006-11-09 Thread Tina Basinger 
I have a situation where I want to maintain the file and folder ACLs from a previous install during an upgrade.
  So, if any custom ACLs have been added or removed after the initial install, the upgrade will let them be.
 
The existing install sets all of the file ALCs through the Permission element.  I was thinking that if we set the Append attribute on the permission element to yes, our upgrade would be able to add to the existing settings.
  I found that this seems to work fine, as long as the install is configuring all of the users with permissions.  However, if additional users have been customized to have permission to a file, and then the upgrade doesn't set permissions for that group, that group no longer has any permissions after the upgrade.

  
We also might need to support the case that no permissions are changed during an upgrade, even if the existing file doesn't have the minimal ACLs that the upgrade would set.
  
  
Can anyone offer any advice on either of the above scenarios?  

Is there any way to maintain and add to existing permissions, even maintaining additional users that have been given permission to the file?

Is there any way to condition permissions to not be configured at all if a file already exists, but to set the permissions specified if the file doesn't exist?

 
Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] Using wixui_minimal and wixui.wixlib

2006-11-09 Thread Aaron Khoo 
Never mind. Figured it out thanks to Live Search and Mike Dimmick's reply to a similar question previously. 
 
Setting the license file and bitmaps are done through -d arguments to light.exe. For example,
 
-dWixUILicenseRtf=
 
Other useful args I found in common.wxs are:
 
WixUIBannerBmp
WixUIDialogBmpWixUIExclamationIcoWixUIInfoIcoWixUINewIcoWixUIUpIco 
Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Need help to create a virtual directory

2006-11-09 Thread Ravi Yellasiri (Aditi) 








Hi All,

 

Thanks for the quick response. I really
appreciate it. Sorry, I forgot to append attachment. Please find one. I am
using Wix 2.0 to develop the MSI. Looks the sample that Morten Minge Lerudjordet
sent is Wix 3.0. One of the comments “”  sounded
me interesting. I have different sites that are installed on port 80. That means
only one site is going to run at anytime. I changed the port numbers of all the
sites and then my MSI worked fine. Does it mean that Wix works only based on
the port number rather than Web Site name? Please find the attached file for
code. I scrubbed it little. So there might be some typos.

 

Thanks a lot for your time.

 

Ravi.

I would add one more thing to Morten's post. The WebSite tag acts
differently when it's nested under a Component and when it's not. If it's under
a Component, WiX will cause it to create a new website. If it's not under a
Component but under a Product, Fragment, or Module then the WebSite tag acts as
a "locator" meaning it will locate an existing web site. For example,
if you put it under Product or Fragment and then use "Default Web
Site" it'll find the default IIS web site and add your virtual under it
instead of creating a new website on a new port. See the docs here for
more info.





 





Regards,





John

Hi,

I am new to the Wix development and trying to develop an MSI. Following
are the core functionalities of my MSI. 

Copy config files to destination directory (webroot)
Copy a .dll files to the destination
Create an app pool "MyAppPool"
Create a (IIS 6.0) virtual directory under an existing web site's web
directory and point it to the "MyAppPool"

Here is a brief structure of IIS Manager.

Application Pools
 | AppPool1 (App Pool)
 | AppPool2 (App Pool)
 | MyAppPool
 :
 : 
Web Sites
 | Default Website (Web Site)
 | MySite (Web Site)
   | ServiceLibrary
(Web Dir)

| My Service (Virtual Directory)


After I run my MSI, It is supposed to create an Application pool with 
the name "MyAppPool"
Create an virtual directory "My Service" under the preexisting web
site
"MySite => ServiceLibrary" and set the app pool to
"MyAppPool"

After I ran this MSI. It is copying the files into right directory 
(physical) , but creating the Web Directory "ServiceLibrary" under
the
"Default Web Site" and creating Virtual Directory "My
Service" under
that.

Lets say If I delete the "Default Web Site" and Install it again, It
is 
installing it under another different web site.

Please find the attached .xml file for my wxs content. I need to wrap
this up ASAP. Please help me to create a virtual directory under right
web site.

Thanks Inadvance!!!

Ravi.

[WiX-users] Upgrades... during RemoveExistingProducts action CA's don't have access to _any_ properties?

2006-11-09 Thread Rob MacFadyen 
Hey all,

I'm trying to implement handling for major upgrades for a web application
installation. 

The use case I'm currently testing is:
1. User installs v1.0.0 of the application
- Install gathers information about the virtual
  directory and database server
- App is installed, vdir created, db created,
  web.config is updated with connection string
  and encrypted

2. User installs v1.0.1 of the application
- no prompts for virtual directory or database
  server (upgrading... should use existing
  vdir and db).
- Old version is removed as part of the install.

The challenge I'm facing is the web.config file... I _need_ to keep the
current version from the v1.0.0 install.

So... I've decided that during Uninstall, if uninstalling because of a
backup, a backup of the web.config file will be made (filesystemobject
copyfile). This isn't working out at all... the CA seem to get the TARGETDIR
property.

Here's the backup CA definition:




Here's the relevant InstallExecuteSequence entries:



... snip ...




  REMOVE="ALL" AND UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE



In the VBScript I have the following debug messages:

msgbox "CustomActionData: " & Session.Property("CustomActionData")
msgbox "TARGETDIR: " & Session.Property("TARGETDIR")

Both of which display empty strings!


So... from my point of view... it looks like an uninstall that is initiated
by RemoveExistingProducts doesn't quite operate like a normal uninstall...
but that doesn't make much sense.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Regards,

Rob

Re: [WiX-users] Message Queue Help Needed

2006-11-09 Thread david adams 
Emma:

Like Mike, I do not have much experience with clustering, but I would 
suggest trying a Public Queue as well.  The Public Queue is addressable via 
the machine IP and may better meet your needs.

Likewise, we have a separate MSI that runs on the MessageQueue server that 
installs the queue.  You can do a similar thing by having the queue as a 
separate feature that is only selected on the target machine.

[WiX-users] CreateObject in C++ for .NET COM interop?

2006-11-09 Thread WenWu Ru 
Our installer includes a .NET assembly component MyCustomActions.dll, which 
is marked with ¡°.NET COM interop¡± in InstallShield.  At installation, 
InstallShield runs "regasm MyCustomActions.dll /regfile MyCustomActions.reg 
/Codebase" to create registry entries on the target system to allow COM 
objects to call the .NET assembly.  MyCustomActions.dll assembly contains a 
class that is derived from System.ComponentModel.Component and is marked 
with [ComVisible(true)].  A few custom actions written in InstallScript 
calls CreateObject to create an object instance and invokes the functions.  
For example:


   set ojb = CreateObject("MyCustomActions.TestClass1");
   result = obj.TestMethod1();

Now that I am converting it to WIX, I need to write the equivalent code in 
C++ for CreateObject.  From what I understand, I need to import the type 
library for MyCustomActions.dll and create an interface pointer with 
CoCreateInstance.  However, MyCustomActions.dll assembly does not explicitly 
declare any interface, and currently no type library is created in the build 
or install process.  How does CreateObject create the instance and invoke 
the method?  I am hoping that I do not have to modify the source code and 
build script for MyCustomActions.dll.


Thanks,
-WenWu
P.S.  Instead of importing the type library, another idea I tried but failed 
is to import the ProgID, e.g. #import "MyCustomActions.TestClass1".  Maybe I 
am not using the correct import attributes?

Wix has no such opportunity. It is necessary to write new custom action.

[WiX-users] Specifying component install order

2006-11-09 Thread Calin Iaru 
I can actually try to install the child device driver before the bus
driver.

Is there a way to specify the sequence of file installations? In this 
case, it would be an advantage to have a component installed before
another component.

Best regards,
   Calin


Hello,

 I am working on a Setup Wizard made with Windows Installer on XML
and DIFxApp ver 2.01. The setup can install 2 driver packages, where one
of the drivers is a bus driver, and the second one is a regular device
driver for a child device. It seems that from time to time, a "New
Hardware Wizard" will pop up after installing the bus driver. I would
like to prevent that from happening as it requires more user input. I
have tried to:
 - place the drivers in the same install directory; this fails
because DIFxApp allows only one inf file to be placed into that
temporary folder
 - place the drivers into separate directories; "New Hardware Wizard"
still appears
 - use SetupCopyOEMInf from a Custom Action executed before the
driver is installed; it seems that SetupCopyOEMInf is called too soon
and the source does not exist. If possible, please tell me before or
after which Custom Action should it be called.
 - use CopyInf inside the bus driver. The operation fails if the
child device driver's inf file is not on the same directory (because the
INF path is not known).

 I appreciate your assistance.

Best regards,
 Calin

Re: [WiX-users] Message Queue Help Needed

2006-11-09 Thread Mike Dimmick 
Title: Message Queue Help Needed



Please keep wix-users on the list, that allows others 
to contribute.
 
I'm afraid I don't have any experience with message 
queuing or with clustering, so I can't really tell you whether what you're doing 
is acceptable or not. You might need to create a public, rather than private, 
queue.
 
The custom action which creates queues should log 
information to the Windows Installer log. Try turning on verbose logging 
(msiexec /l*v) and look for 'Failed to create message queue, key: 
AuditReceiveQueue' in the log. The lines immediately before should indicate why 
creating the message queue failed.
 
If you post the relevant log entries, it might be 
possible to work out why it's failing.

Hi 
Mike
 
Thank you for your 
response below, however I’m still requiring help. I am actually trying to create 
the message queue on the cluster as opposed to one of the nodes – do you have 
any advice for how I could do this? (I have tried setting impersonate and it 
still fails)
 
Many 
Thanks
Emma.

The deferred 
execution stage of Windows Installer - when the installation script actually 
runs - runs using the local computer's LocalSystem security context. This only 
has the network credentials of the machine account (in an Active Directory 
domain) or NULL permissions (if not on a domain). You most likely don't have 
permission to create a remote queue using these 
credentials.
 
It's possible to make 
a custom action run as the user who ran the installer (Impersonate='yes', and I 
think this is the default - it would be helpful if the manual at 
wix.sourceforge.net listed what the defaults are), and this may be the case 
with the custom action which processes the  elements, but 
again this user would need to have whatever permissions are necessary to create 
a remote message queue.
 
I think it would be 
better to make the message queue a Feature and the ability to select only that 
to install. Then the user would have to run the MSI on the machine that is to 
have the queue created.

Re: [WiX-users] Com LocalServer32 in 8.3 format

2006-11-09 Thread Dyson, Peter 
I upgraded to the latest binary build on SourceForge (3.0.2211.0).

A bit painful as tallow has been deprecated and Heat is very much
different, but have it working again in my headless build.

Unfortunately the registry entries are still in [!MyServerExe] format
not [#MyServerExe].

Maybe the next build then.

I'm not sure exactly when the change was made, but the current version
uses [#] syntax. BTW, if you use WiX v3, you should consider taking
drops more often. As v3 is still in development, schema changes still
happen and if you wait too long, you can get hit with a lot at once. The
WixCop tool upgrades the schema so it's not a manual job at least.
