Re: [WiX-users] dot Net Custom actions

2007-04-05 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 

You can run dot net code during installation, although there are some reason
why you should not. I have been executing .net code in my installation for
quite a while now

Anyways here how to do it :

Include the following







In a class library project, add a installer class. Check out
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=83721 for example the msi contains
SetSecurity project, this is used to added custom code.

Now add the following in installexecutesequence


$HelperLibrary>2

$HelperLibrary>2
So, once installation starts, it the first CA sets up parameters required
for the .net function we want to call
and the 2nd CA calls the .net function

The CA will be written as follows - change the InstallSetProperty's Value as
required.





I hope this helps.

[WiX-users] Error in German?

2007-04-05 Thread Kevin Burton 
I have a Wix generated .msi file and it has been working fine for sometime
now (in English). Recently when I tried to deply on a machine that was low
on disk space I received an error dialog indicating that the machine had
insufficient space to proceed but this error message was in German. The
buttons were in German also. I generate the .msi using:

 

  





  

  



$(ToolPath)WixUI_en-us.wxl

  

  



  

 

So I am confused as to why the German is showing up.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

 

Kevin

Re: [WiX-users] Per-Machine Installs that work on XP and Vista

2007-04-05 Thread Wilson, Phil 
I don't believe there's been a change in ALLUSERS=2 behavior, only in
the documentation that Scott pointed at. MSADN from August 2006 doesn't
single out XP, for example. 
 
I've never been a fan of ALLUSERS=2 because of its unpredictability.
Sometimes you'll get per-user, sometimes per-machine. How can that be
relied on for something like a major upgrade when a user may be promoted
or demoted by the time you do an upgrade? It just seems to me that if
you know you want per-machine then just force it and avoid the hassle.

Hi,

I sucessfully did a per-machine installer that works on XP and on Vista
(at least on the tests in the virtual machines worked fine).

I use the ALLUSERS=2 option to make vista put the shortcuts on all the
users desktop and start menu, but the secret is to include a

When the user install the application he has to call the setup.exe

That article indicates that Windows Installer is broken for

per-machine install that works on both XP and Vista.

If ALLUSERS=2, Vista will try a per -machine install and fail if
the user's credentials do not allow it. 
But XP will perform a per-user install if ALLUSERS=2

If ALLUSERS=1 it appears that XP will do a per- machine install,
though it is not documented as doing so on the page referenced above.

My ultimate goal is to install the application to a single
common location that is user-independent.  My current installer which
only sets ALLUSERS=1 tends to scatter files all over the place on Vista
as Vista has buggered the folder structure so some of my files appear to
be in a "common" place that is only common for that one user (which
appears to break component rules if another user installs the same
stuff), and some files go elsewhere. 

I'm hoping there is some conditional stuff I can add to the WiX
source that will cause ALLUSERS to get set to the appropriate value (1
or 2) based on the OS and that this will happen in time for Windows
Installer to recognize the value I want. 

I also noticed that the documentation for the Directory Id
"ProgramFiles" here
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370810.aspx indicates that it
is always a per-user location.  That's obviously not true on XP, but
sadly it seems to be true on Vista.


What's the trick?

Re: [WiX-users] WiX create a MSMQ

2007-04-05 Thread DEVAL SHAH 
Hello Fredrik,
Thanks for the help. I was able to create a queue using pca:MessageQueue 
element.
There is one weird thing:
If I already have a queue created and i try to run the install it says 
failed prematurely because queue exist so it rolls back and deletes the 
queue. Now I run the install again and it installs everything properly.
Is that the right thing or is there way to tell - not to create a queue if 
it exists.

Thanks

this did not seem to be the case with difxapp. to get difxapp to work, i
needed to include the extension (WixDifxAppExtension.dll) when compiling
with candle, and then when linking with light, include the extension AND the
difxapp.wixlib.

i had to modify the v2 difxapp.wixlib also to update the xml elements to
match v3. (this took some playing around with lit...)

so my question is, is the difxapp extension just not ready yet or am i doing
something wrong?  the final msi worked as it should.

Correct.  Neither WiX's  nor SC CREATE need or use the
Installer class.  But, they can both install .NET based services whether
the service has an Installer based class or not.

Re: [WiX-users] Localizing WixUI in 3.0 - error LGHT0100 :The localization identifier xxx has been duplicated in

2007-04-05 Thread Julie Campbell 
My apologies if this has already been answered, but I did skim all the
digests since the one this was in looking for an answer.  With the caveat
that I setup the localization to the default (en-us), this works for me
(simplified here):

  light -cultures:en-us -loc "lang\en-us\prod_en-us.wxl" -ext WixUIExtension
  <...wixlibs...>   prod.wixobj -out prod.msi

where my prod_en-us.wxl looks like this:

 
   
1033   
Create Desktop shortcut
Create shortcut in the Start
Menu
Create a Program Group with a
shortcut



I am wondering why you have a "strings.xml" file and a .wxl file, that
doesn't make sense.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing .NET Services

2007-04-05 Thread Don Tasanasanta 
How does ServiceInstall detect that you're installing a .net service as
opposed to a "regular" service?

 

I'm experiencing difficulties installing a .net service using
ServiceInstall. The service is there but doesn't seem to be registering
properly.

 

How does ServiceInstall work compared to the .net utility
InstallUtil.exe?

Isn't that your custom action is not scheduled correctly? I mean you should 
instruct the system to create a port monitor once your 'monitor file' was 
extracted from msi, right?

Ok, if that does work how?

Problem: the port monitor has to find it's way into the System32
folder but the files are not installed at least up to
MsiProcessDrivers and as I was suprised to see much later. So while
running a custom action to add the Monitor the file with the monitor
is still not accessible on the disk. It's in the .msi file of
course. But it seems there is no easy way to just pick it out and
install it manually

I did and therfor I asked if there is a way. Cause I did not found it.

Re: [WiX-users] .NET Install causes Windows Error when running program.

2007-04-05 Thread Hallquist Jr, Robert 
Thanks for the response,

 

Actually I found out that the problem is due to one of my files that is
installed is not the correct size.  The file is listed in ORCA as 204K but
when it is installed, the size is 36K.  I am using a Merge Module and the
file that has problems is the first component in the merge module.  Once I
moved this file to the end of the list everything installed fine.

 

Do you know why this would happen.

It's impossible to say without more details. What error do you get? If you
run the .exe from the command line, do you get a stack trace?

What do you mean by that last sentence? What does your  
hierarchy look like?

[WiX-users] WiX 3 and the wixui

2007-04-05 Thread learnerplates 

I've installed WiX 3 in order to get the Visual Studio integrated version.
It works fine, and I can use sourcesafe  through Visual Studio.
Now I've just started to use the UI part of WiX, it's failing, I think the
installed WiXUI library in Visual Studio is from Version 2 and may have come
with the Visual Studio SDK!
Is there anyway to get WiX 3 to work with WiX 2 UI libraries?

I've been trying to use the example SampleWixUI  found at the 
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson2.php WiX Tutorial 

Here's the error:
 
C:\dotNET\WixSampleUI\WixSampleUI>light.exe -out SampleWixUI.msi
SampleWixUI.wix
obj "C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005
SDK\2007.02\VisualStudioIntegration\Too
ls\Wix\wixui.wixlib"

x\wixui.wixlib : error LGHT0141 : The library file format version 2.0.2207.0
is
not compatible with the expected library file format version 3.0.2002.0.

Also, does anyone know how to add the additional switch for the WixUI to the
Visual Studio project (The WixProject does not appear to have commandline
parameters in the project properties!!!)

[WiX-users] Installing packages with MSMQ queues which already exist

2007-04-05 Thread thombrown 

Hi,

I'm currently having a problem with my installation package.  I've got it
successfully creating a MSMQ queue, but the problem is that the queue may
already exist on the destination machine, and in such circumstances the
installation ends prematurely.  I would want it to skip the creation of the
queue if it already exists, or if that's not possible, delete the queue
before creating it.  I can't find anything that will do either of these
things.

Is anyone able to help?

If they are installed, maybe there's something wrong with your exe's manifest?
