[WiX-users] Removing Patch software
I am currently trying to develop a Wix solution that will allow me to install some patch software and then provide the ability to remove the patch software if required. However, all I have been able to do so far is apply the patch, copying original file away in the process and when I remove the patch it basically removes everything. Does anyone know if 1) Is it possible to create an installer that will remove patch software and restore the original file 2) If it is possible, how this is achieved and would they be willing to share their methodology.

Re: [WiX-users] x86 and x64 in same wxs / msi ?
Are you installing only 32-bit dll's? Do you have any problems with file and registry redirection to the 32-bit locations on a 64-bit os? If your program isn't affected by that, than you can use one package for both. I just wanted to mention that because just conditioning the components isn't typically enough to fully utilize the 64-bit architecture. You'd also need to mark the package as a 64-bit package and any 64-bit components as such within WiX.

Re: [WiX-users] Prevent overwrite of existing files
Stefan Kuhr wrote: I am currently developing our company's first install with WiX, everything before was homegrown installers or InstallShield. My WiX-based install distributes files that may also come with other installers for our product and it is very, very important that the WiX-based install will not install into directories (that the user chose) which contain files that came with other installers. So the best would be to just not let the user choose a directory where files reside that came from our other installs. After experimenting a bit I finally decided to bite the bullet and write a custom action DLL (can be found here: http://mcblogs.craalse.de/skufiles/2007/custact.zip) that scans the File table and tests for the existence of all files in this table's FileName column in the INSTALLDIR the user provided. If such a file can be found, a messagebox is shown and the install aborted, because this is an attempt to install into a directory where other installer of our products have previously installed into. While this all works I wonder if there is an easier way to achieve the same result, maybe without a custom action DLL? Any clues anyone? There are other ways of doing this but your current approach covers more ground than they could. For example, you could use RegistrySearch to detect other installers (presumably!) and use a launch condition to tell the user to uninstall other versions. Or you could use a FileSearch that ran in the execute sequence but that would delay feedback to the user -- ideally, you want to tell them as soon as they select a directory. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [WiX-users] Adding tons of files to an MSI
I'm not sure where else it's talked about, but the above blog entry is by the author of heat I believe. -gg is the generate guid option, so you don't have to generate them yourself. Heat will setup a directory structure, and for each file (component) it will use the name if the directory you use. Therefore, if the directory you are using heat on is called mycooldir, the Id of the directory for all of your components will have an Id=mycooldir. There will be a Directory / hierarchy that will be setup toward the bottom of your wxs file that you can modify to have the right TARGETDIR that you want. There is a good explanation of how the directories are setup in the tutorial linked off of http://wix.sourceforge.net/ if you want to take a look at that. I think the basic templates for it are product and module. I haven't used any of the others. Also, don't forget to add a CC to the wix-users group so everyone can share in the conversation.

[WiX-users] Property Modularization
Alright, I'll try to tread slowly through this one... I have a merge module that has a settings file that is packaged with it. I have a file search setup within my merge module that sets an OLDSETTINGS property. Now, here is where things get fuzzy. IF the OLDSETTINGS exist, the module will notinstall the default settings (packaged with it), but instead copy the old ones over. If the OLDSETTINGS do NOT exist, it will use the default. The problem that I am running into is that I have a UI page that has a static text element that will display to the user information about the default settings (when they're used). Now, since the Properties from the merge module are modularized, the UI can't access that property. So, if I suppress the modularization to get rid of that, then when I Condition / my Component / based upon the OLDSETTINGS property, IT gets modularized (even though I don't want it to). Has anyone ran into this situation before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if more details are needed. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Correct. MSI needs a Directory table ID; a Property name won't suffice.
However, you can provide a placeholder Directory element that's
overwritten by the AppSearch action setting a property with the same name.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding tons of files to an MSI

I wrote a perl script that is kind of VisualStudio-centric in that it scans through a 2003 project file, picks out 'Content', stages it along with the 'bin' directory, then runs mallow to generate a fragment.

[WiX-users] Change feature install level
Hello, I got the following situation: I have a component A which has a Registry Key (lets call it: A.Registry) with a value and I got a component B which has the same Registry Key with a different value (lets call it: B.Registry). Now if component A is installed A.Registry needs to be registered, but if component B is installed as well the B.Registry overrides the A registry key and only Registry B should be registered in the registry. To solve this problem I created 2 components installing the registry keys to the registry. Two Features with the default Level of 1 and a condition which checks a property. If the property is 1 the Level is set to 0 and the component (the registry key) is not installed to the registry. This works quite fine for checkboxes. If i make 2 checkboxes for the 2 components, the user can decide which component to install, the property gets set from the checkbox control. But the problem is, I got more components from which the user can decide which to install. So I decided to use a SelectionTree and here is where my problem finally appears ;) How can I create a event or something which sets the right property according to the selection of the user? If component A is going to be installed the A.Registry needs to be installed. If component A and B is going to be installed the B.Registry needs to be installed. (Component A is mandatory it's always going to be installed, but that's no problem at all so) Someone maybe can help me? Any help would be appreciated!

Re: [WiX-users] x86 and x64 in same wxs / msi ?
I think my case is a little different since it is a .NET application and we have some third party dlls that don’t work on a 64-bit machine, so I just switch that component so they don’t install on the 64-bit machine. I don’t know when it is required specifically mark the package or components as 64-bit. I’ll need to do some more testing myself as well to verify it does work. Another option you could do though to reduce code duplication, is to separate all the differences in the WiX into a fragment and have a 64-bit and 32-bit fragment and just link in the appropriate on for each build.

Just a nitpicking correction: .wixlib files _are_ still supported.
However,
extension DLLs can now carry an embedded .wixlib, and this feature has
been
used for most of the WiX extended features (i.e. anything beyond what
Windows Installer itself provides). Therefore, tasks that required you to
provide one of the standard .wixlib files in 2.0 now require you to
specify
the appropriate extension to light.exe.
This doesn't stop you compiling your own .wixlib files if you have common
components you want to reuse in many packages.

candle -out obj\MyInstall.wixobj -ext WixUIExtension MyInstall.wxs
light -cultures:en-us -ext WixUIExtension -loc MyInstall.wxl -out
MyInstall.msi obj\MyInstall.wixobj
where MyInstall.wxs contains (amongst other stuff):

You would change the WixUI_InstallDir to WixUI_Minimal if that is the UI
set
you want. You also wouldn't need the WIXUI_INSTALLDIR property in that
case.
MyInstall.wxl contains an override of one of the messages in the user

What is the story here for 3.0? I tried to use the 2.0 library with
no success, especially also because I needed to link with a .wixout
object.
Thanks for any pointers!

真島洋子と申します。 このメールが届くかはわかりませんが、最後までお読みください。 突然ですが夜、急に淋しくなったり、泣きそうなくらい悲しくなる事ってありませんか？ 男性はあまり無いですよね。 私は、と言うよりも女性の大半は経験しているんです。 結婚している女性は特に。 理由は人それぞれですが、セックスレスだったり、旦那の朝帰りとか暴力だったり…。 やっぱり一番辛いのは帰りが遅い旦那を待ってる時ですね。 でも、みんな淋しい思いなんかしたくないんです！！ どうせ淋しい思いするんだったら、楽しい想いでかき消したと思うはずです。 旦那や彼氏に淋しい思いさせられてる女性達でサークルを作ったんです。 私達が楽しい想い出を残す為のサークル！！ 始めたて女性は集ったのはいいけれど、男性の集め方がわからなくて。 ネット上に公開されていたメールアドレスにメールをしているんです。 ちなみにメールするのはアナタで5人目です。 今、急いで相手を探してるのは『ひとみさん』と言う女性。 実は私の後輩なんです。昔から男受けも良くて、人見知りもしません。下ネタもいける口です。 でも旦那が海外出張で、今年の9月まで一人ぼっちで淋しいらしいです。 プロフィールと写真だけでも見てあげてください。 http://wwwr.power.ne.jp/oz2/ もし、会ってみようと思ったらメールも送れますので♪ もちろんですが、お金はかかりませんよ。 - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[WiX-users] Adding values under Uninstall registry key
I know this question is really for Windows Installer gurus in general,
so if there is a better place to ask this question, please be so kind as
to redirect me.
I am not all the familiar yet with Windows Installer and I see that a
product install puts keys in the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{
ProductCode} according to the names shown here.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372105.aspx
My question has to do with *adding* subkey values under the Uninstall
registry key provided there is no conflict with the known keys
identified in this URL.
Is this a good thing to do? Are there adverse consequences from doing
this that might affect the uninstall?
