[WiX-users] Creation of Virtual Directory within existing Website
The scenario is that my target machine has two websites as follows: Default Web Site, IP Address - All Unassigned, Port - 80, Status (STOPPED) My Website, IP Address - All Unassigned, Port - 80, Status (STARTED) Therefore they are identical but the default site is stopped (I know that the default web site should probably be deleted but this is not within my control). I am attempting to create a new virtual directory within My Website and therefore I reference it as follows: !-- Reference to website -- WebSite Id='MyWebSite' Description='My Website' WebAddress Id='MyWebsiteAddr' Port='80' / /WebSite The problem I am having is that my virtual is always created within the default web site. If I change the Port or IP Address of the default web site then it is created within my website as expected (but this is not something I can do in production). Therefore the behaviour seems to be that the website lookup is done using IP Address and Port only (i.e. Description is ignored), and that the first IIS web site found that matches will be used (Default Web Site in this case as it is instance 1). Is there a way to do a more exact match to ensure that my virtual is always created within the correct website. As always any feedback would be most appreciated. One thing I should mention here is that I have only tested this on XP (using IISAdmin.Net to replicate sites), I have not yet tested on 2003 . HBOS plc, Registered in Scotland No. SC218813.

Re: [WiX-users] How to install files, run an action, then delete the files??
Hi there, No what I mean is: I have an MSI which installs files by dropping them in specific directories. It then runs a custom action which may mail. If it fails, the MSI reports there has been a problems and the progress bar goes backwards. Normally this is the point where it will remove all the files it dropped onto the target system, but in this case it doesn't remove them.

Re: [WiX-users] Patching Wix generated msis
You should also note that when doing patches, you need to add a removefile entry in order to remove files. For update/add you must update the keypath file of a component in order to see changes in the component during patching. Ideally, when adding new files, they are in their own component.

[WiX-users] Wix MergeModules not installing under Win Installer 3.x
Hey, I have an Installshield 12 project that is using Wix (v2) Merge Modules. When I install the Windows Installer 3.x engine, my Wix Merge Modules do not install. When I remove the Windows Installer 3.x engine, my Wix Merge Modules install completely fine. Is there something I'm missing? I thought installers/merge modules just needed a minimum installer engine level. Is there something with the 3.x engine that has broken backwards compat?

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade InstallShield package
Hi Bob, ALLUSERS property is not set within the .msi file InstallShield generates, which means there was a per-user installation (there is something like ApplicationUsers property with the value ALLUSERS). My .msi uses ALLUSERS with a value of 1 (so per-machine install). I removed ALLUSERS property from my .msi. Also, I switched for a major upgrade now (updated Product UpgradeCode GUIDs and Version), here is the Upgrade sequence: Upgrade Id=C466B4D2-CFF9-4880-9910-D95248AAABEB UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=no Property=PREVFOUND Maximum=1.0.1 IncludeMaximim=no/ /Upgrade Upgrade Id=D1EF72C4-8A32-4526-9F7F-396EC5DAC5C3 UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=yes Property=NEWERFOUND Minimum=2.0.0 IncludeMinimum=yes/ /Upgrade The first Upgrade refers to previous InstallShield package out there, second is for current version.

Re: [WiX-users] External configuration vs CustomActions
Rob, I completely agree with you on static configuration belongs in the MSI, and application configuration should live inside of the app. In my post, I didn't make this clear distinction. Very well said. Thanx, Aaron On 6/5/07, Rob Mensching [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd say it differently: 1. Static configuration should go in the install. That way repair will do the right thing. 2. Defaults for configuration should go in the app directly (a static configuration file) or in the install. That way repair will do the right thing. (the above two things are ideally 100% per-machine settings) 3. Dynamic configuration (stuff that you expect the user to change, aka per-user) should be updated using a configuration tool (or just the app itself, Tools - Options…). Ideally, per-user configuration is only be written when it differs from the defaults. So it goes like this: static in the install, dynamic not in the install. Now, the part that really gets hard is when you do an upgrade and previous settings need to be migrated/upgraded/or otherwise modified.

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade InstallShield package
InstallShield has a custom action (ISSetAllUsers) that sets ALLUSERS, so looking in the raw MSI file won't tell you what's going on. It's mostly used when it upgrades previous products, but nevertheless I recommend looking at a log to see what's actually happening to the ALLUSERS value during the InstallShield MSI install. This script might help. If it reports a context of 4 if the product is installed per-machine, 2 if for a user and unmanaged.

Re: [WiX-users] Preselected is set to 1 during uninstall?
Hi, Bob,
I set ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT to 1 and add my own registry key, which is msiexec
/x {ProductCode} /qf. The /qf switch is to invoke full UI so that I can
insert my own application-specific dialog during uninstall. The /x is to
uninstall.
I wonder if I am doing the right thing. I worry that I am losing the
capability of using Preselected some time in the future, because it is
always 1 (see my earlier messages in this thread).
If there is a better way to accomplish what I want to do (full UI and custom
dialog during uninstall), please let me know. [I am sorry that I started
another thread asking similar questions. I thought someone might have a
different trick.]
The topic of uninstall does not seem to be well covered by the official
WiX Tutorial or any other blogs.

Re: [WiX-users] problem with serviceconfig
There is no action called RollbackServiceConfig defined in WiX v3.0.3001.0. There's an action declared in src\ext\UtilExtension\wixlib\UtilExtension.wxs called ExecServiceConfigRollback which calls the same ExecServiceConfig entry point as the ExecServiceConfig custom action, but it doesn't look to me as if that code (in src\ca\wixca\dll\serviceconfig.cpp) can tell whether it's being called on install or on rollback. Most of the custom actions are named the same as the entry point that implements them, so I would recommend changing line 136 of UtilExtension.wxs to CustomAction Id=RollbackServiceConfig BinaryKey=WixCA DllEntry=RollbackServiceConfig Execute=rollback Impersonate=no Return=check SuppressModularization=yes / although this does not fit in with the naming scheme used in the rest of UtilExtension.wxs. Doing it the other way, to match, you should change that line to: CustomAction Id=ExecServiceConfigRollback BinaryKey=WixCA DllEntry=ExecServiceConfigRollback Execute=rollback Impersonate=no Return=check SuppressModularization=yes / then change the name of the entry point to ExecServiceConfigRollback at line 446, 474 and 475 of serviceconfig.cpp, and again in the code for SchedServiceConfig at lines 186 and 187. You will then need to rebuild a local copy of WiX to fix the problem. See 'Building WiX' in doc\WiX.chm for instructions on how to build the toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix MergeModules not installing under Win Installer 3.x
Merge modules only provide components to a parent installer. If the overall installer doesn't work, you need to analyze the final output to work out why. I suggest getting hold of WiX v3 and using the smoke utility to run Windows Installer validation on the resulting installer, and indeed on the merge modules themselves. Alternatively you can use Orca from the Platform SDK. An optimization of WiX outputs is that they only include the tables that were actually referenced and which Windows Installer actually requires. It's possible that InstallShield was relying on some table being present that wasn't. Please let us know the build number of WiX v2 that you used to build the merge modules. There might have been an issue that was corrected in a later build. Windows Installer 3.x mainly addressed patch sequencing IIRC, which should not affect a first install or major upgrade at all. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andre Nelson Sent: 05 June 2007 17:18 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix MergeModules not installing under Win Installer 3.x Hey, I have an Installshield 12 project that is using Wix (v2) Merge Modules.

[WiX-users] Installing a web server
I want to set up multiple web sites in IIS 6: each listening on port 80, but using different Host headers. For example, www.coke.com http://www.coke.com/ and www.pepsi.com http://www.pepsi.com/ . These correspond to IIsWebServer nodes in metabase.xml. I have not figured out how to do it. My hopes for the Header attribute in WebAddress were quickly dashed. I also tried setting Port to 80:www.pepsi.com, but the website stubbornly remained under IIS's Default website. -- /George V.

[WiX-users] INSTALLDIR Parameter to CustomAction
I've run into a problem that sounds fairly simple to resolve, however, I've been spinning my wheels on it for a while. I've created a CustomAction that requires the install path parameter. However, the string does not come across correctly in my arguments of the exe because of the \. I need to set it to /, but my wxs will not recognize the path. I've tried all of the following: C:\Program Files\MyPath\ -- produces incorrect string in exe (C:\Program Files\MyPath) C:\\Program Files\\MyPath\\ -- produces incorrect string in exe (C:\Program Files\MyPath) C:/Program Files/MyPath/ -- produces error when running MyInstall.msi (Could not access network location C:/Program Files/MyPath.) [C:\Program Files\MyPath\] -- produces error when running MyInstall.msi (Could not access network location [C:\Program Files\MyPath\].) Property Id=INSTALLDIRC:\Program Files\MyPath\/Property Binary Id=configupdater SourceFile=c:\temp\my_csharp_executable.exe / CustomAction Id=MyAction ExeCommand=[mybinary] quot;[INSTALLDIR]quot; BinaryKey=mybinary Return=check Execute=immediate / Any help is greatly appreciated.

[WiX-users] Conditionally installing components based on user's locale
As part of my setup I would like to write certain registry values depending on the country setting of the OS. E.g. for North American users I might set a registry value to 1, for European users the value would be set to 2. Is there an easy way to do this without writing a custom action? Failing that, is there a custom action that can be written easily?

Re: [WiX-users] How to install files, run an action, then delete the files??
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have an MSI which installs files by dropping them in specific directories. It then runs a custom action which may mail. If it fails, the MSI reports there has been a problems and the progress bar goes backwards. Normally this is the point where it will remove all the files it dropped onto the target system, but in this case it doesn't remove them. When is the CA scheduled? MSI rolls back only during the installation transaction, so anything after InstallFinalize won't roll back, for example. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [WiX-users] Preselected is set to 1 during uninstall?
Charles Wan-Calo wrote: I wonder if I am doing the right thing. I worry that I am losing the capability of using Preselected some time in the future, because it is always 1 (see my earlier messages in this thread). MSI sets it whenever there are features pre-selected for installation or removal. If there is a better way to accomplish what I want to do (full UI and custom dialog during uninstall), please let me know. As long as it's not required -- i.e., /qn /x works -- then it works. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [WiX-users] Conditional services install
Hi Bob, thats exactly what I've done but no effect. I guess there is a problem with property SERVICEUSEGUARDIAN. This property is connected to check box so if I unselect this check box this property become undefined and value written into the registry is binary value with zero length. But during uninstall it become defined with null value thought. So how to store property value into registry to undef that property when is its value read ? Another pieces of my WiX code: Property Id=SERVICEUSEGUARDIAN RegistrySearch Id=ServiceUseGuardian Key=SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird\2.0 Root=HKLM Type=raw Name=ServiceUseGuardian / /Property Registry Key=SOFTWARE Root=HKLM Registry Key=Firebird Project Action=createKeyAndRemoveKeyOnUninstall Registry Key=Firebird Action=createKeyAndRemoveKeyOnUninstall Registry Key=2.0 Action=createKeyAndRemoveKeyOnUninstall Registry Name=ServerType Type=string Value=[SERVERTYPE] / Registry Name=RunAs Type=string Value=[SERVERRUNAS] / Registry Name=ServiceName Type=string Value=[SERVICENAME] / Registry Name=ServiceFriendlyName Type=string Value=[SERVICEFRIENDLYNAME] / Registry Name=ServiceUseGuardian Type=string Value=[SERVICEUSEGUARDIAN] / /Registry /Registry /Registry /Registry Any ideas ? Thanks Milan Bob Arnson napsal(a): Milan Tomeš wrote: Installation of these services is all ok and unistall too - but only when I don't make any changes in standard property values. When I don't want to install Guardian (so SERVICEUSEGUARDIAN isn't set) installation works but unistall leave service alive (no uninstallation uccurs). Sounds like you need to persist the property values (e.g., in the registry) and load them during uninstall so the right values are available to properly uninstall. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
