Re: [WiX-users] regasm in wix?
You need to fill in the Registry table with the appropriate values. You can use either ProgId, Class Co. (which will fill in the Registry table behind the scenes when advertisement is turned off) or you can directly use Registry elements. Note, there is a good chance that as a .NET COM DLL you'll have a couple extra registry keys that need to be set beyond just what the ProgId and Class elements setup for you. If you are not sure what registry keys need tbe set, you can either use tallow to generate a fragment from your DLL and take a look at that, or you can use 'regasm /tlb /reg PATH.TO.commandlib.dll' to create a PATH.TO.commandlib.reg file which you can look at with a text editor to understand what needs to be set. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christer Solskogen Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 12:28 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] regasm in wix?

Re: [WiX-users] regasm in wix?
If you want this assembly registered for COM interop the /tlb option by itself is insufficient. Using full regasm on an assembly does two main things: 1. Registers the class entries and sets the InprocServer32 to mscoree.dll. 2. Registers a type library. Just using the /tlb option does not do 1. You can see what 1. does by using regasm with the /regfile option (and the /regfile option does not do 2). There are a couple of choices for 2. Some just generate a type library (tlbexp.exe) and register it via the type library table. Alternatively, use the Registry table to get all the HKCR\Interface and TypeLibrary entries on the system.

[WiX-users] Verify user?
We're using Wix 3. One of our installers installs a service, but it may run under different users in different environments. The installer will prompt the user for the domain, username and password to apply during the ServiceInstall step. However, if they enter in an invalid user or password the installer just sort of uninstalls itself and stops. Is there a way to verify a domain/user/password is valid before ServiceInstall fires off? -- Matthew Janulewicz SCM Engineer Green Dot Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] (626) 775-3857 - Take Surveys.

Re: [WiX-users] zip program for bootstrapper msi

I think you'd also need to check to see if the authenticated user has at minimum log on as a service privilege. It might not. The service could still fail to start due to other ACL problems, so all in all, it is a pretty difficult thing to get 100%. A custom action that does LogonUser would at least validate the credentials though. Perhaps that could be added as a feature request for the service control CA stuff? Add a ValidateCredentials attribute or something... The privilege thing reminds me that it would be cool to have local security policy changes to handle things like user rights assignment as a CA in WiX (log on as service, act as part of the operating system, etc.).

Re: [WiX-users] zip program for bootstrapper msi

Re: [WiX-users] zip program for bootstrapper msi
David, They sell a COM component that can be used from just about any language, including VBScript. Here's the script I use, with some junk X'd out, and it just gets invoked from the build tool. Note I have not migrated to MSBUILD GenerateBootstapper... left as an exercise for the reader :). This script was taken, pretty much word for word, from one of their examples. ' Create EXE script set zip = CreateObject(ChilkatZip2.ChilkatZip2) zip.UnlockComponent XXX ' Set this property to use an icon for the EXE that is created. zip.ExeIconFile = C:\X\MyProgam.ico ' Use this property to automatically unzip when the EXE is double-clicked. ' 1 = EXE has no interface, 0 (the default) = EXE includes default interface window zip.ExeNoInterface = 0 zip.ExeTitle = A Nice title here zip.ExeUnzipCaption = Extracting installation files... ' Causes the EXE to run a program (that was contained within the EXE) ' immediately after extracting. zip.AutoRun = PSetup.exe zip.AutoRunParams = /log /uionlyifneeded ' Causes the creation of an EXE that has no interface, ' and automatically selects a temporary directory for ' unzipping. zip.AutoTemp = 1 zip.DiscardPaths = 1 ' Initialize the Zip object and add some files. zip.NewZip zipFilenameNotUsedBecauseAnExeIsCreated.zip ' Refer to http://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/xChilkatZip2Ref.html ' for documentation on all properties and methods. zip.AppendOneFileOrDir C:\X\bin\Release\XX.msi, 0 zip.AppendOneFileOrDir C:\X\PSetup\PSetup.exe, 0 zip.AppendOneFileOrDir C:\X\PSetup\PSetup.ini, 0 zip.AppendOneFileOrDir C:\X\PSetup\Unicows.dll, 0 zip.WriteExe C:\X\bin\Release\MySetup.exe As to how many licenses you will need... you will have to read their eula and so forth. I think (but could be wrong) they said build machines don't count (or words to that effect). So all you may need is a single developer license (the guy who writes your version of the VBScript above).

The ui.wixlib file is in turn built into the WixUIExtension dll as a resource.
