It's not just you. A huge time sink, unfortunately the
other options to create Windows installers seem even worse...
And no, I haven't found a non-complaining way to install
shortcuts with Wix v3 either.
In my little world there's now a big sign saying 'It doesn't
work in Wix v3 at all'. I don't care too much whether this
is true or not, but it helps keeping the bloodpressure low.
Btw, just ignoring the warning works. Right now I have those
parts of the installer code that can't be validated in
[Shortcut stuff]
blocks and pass -DValidation={0,1} on the commandline.
This way at least partial validation is possible.

This sounds very strange. There should not be any need for any additional conditions, it should work just fine the way it looks. Do you think you could open a bug at source forge about this issue?

[WiX-users] Trouble with Shortcuts...
I'm using WiX3. I am trying to make a shortcut as part of installing a component. The shortcut is to a launcher application that is installed in another component with a command-line argument that has the path to a file in the component that contains the shortcut. If I just use: ... ... Then I get the following error: Error LGHT0204: ICE43: Component thing1 has non-advertised shortcuts. It should use a registry key under HKCU as its Error LGHT0204: ICE57: Component 'thing1 ' has both per-user and per-machine data with a per-machine KeyPath. To which I say "Huh?" The ALLUSERS property is set to "1" so I don't understand why it claims that there is per-user data. Anyway I attempt what to me is the obvious work-around I set Advertise="yes" on the shortcut... which leads to: Error CNDL0035: The Shortcut/@Target attribute cannot be specified when attribute Advertise is present with value 'yes'. ok, fine... that might make sense... [blood pressure rising]... So I take out the advertise property and decide to use the other obvious fix.. that is, do what it told me and use a reg key under HKCU - even though this smells really bad, as I don't want to be installing per-user data, and don't think that I am... So I add to my component the following: This works, but then I get the following warning: Warning CNDL1080: The Registry element has been deprecated. Please use one of the new elements which replaces its functionality: RegistryKey for creating registry keys, RegistryValue for writing registry values, RemoveRegistryKey for removing registry keys, and RemoveRegistryValue for removing registry values. But the "new" ways don't have an attribute to set the registry key as the KeyPath for the component. [blood pressure rising...] Can someone explain why the ALLUSERS install is causing problems with per-user data in the first place? Shall I ignore the warning above and just use a bogus reg key in the hope that I can just put this all behind me? Is something missing from RegistryKey so that it can beused as a KeyPath? Is it just me or does everyone else find working with MSI infuriating ? I'm worried that I will be driven to do something violent... ;-) Scott - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] conditional install
Hello, I need to support Longhorn Server and not Vista. The exe in question is generally a server side component however it has to be installed on XP and Win2k (non server). The decision has been made to not support Vista at this point. The MsiNtProductType property looks exactly like what I need. On Vista it evaluates to 1 and Longhorn it evaluates to 3 (at least on the Vista and Longhorn install types I've tried). The new problem I'm running into is MsiNtProductType is not defined when the action InstallFiles runs so MsiNtProductType acts as a logical false when my components' condition is evaluated. I know this is more of a Windows Installer question but I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on getting around this type of issue? Thanks, Tom From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 4:47 PM To: Thomas Svare Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] conditional install Thomas Svare wrote: I've got to install a component on Windows 2000 and greater with the exception of Vista. The component needs to install on Longhorn. I know Longhorn isn't completed yet and is subject to change but I have to try to make it work with what's available today. The following condition works great but excludes Longhorn: VersionNT < 600 You mean you want to support Vista but exclude Longhorn Server? If so, take a look at the MsiNTProductType property in the MSI SDK doc. You can check a verbose log to see the value MSI sets on Longhorn Server? -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys.

[WiX-users] Replace text in files under WiX installation
Hi, I would like to do some text replace under installation with WiX. The scenario is, that the user selects a destination for the program to be installed. This value is to be used as an absolute path in some of the configuration files of the installed application. Is it possible to do this kind of replacement with WiX? My idea is to insert a tag into the configuration files - eg. [TO_BE_REPLACED] and every place this value is present, WiX should replace the value with for example "C:\Application"... regards, kews - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
