[WiX-users] ODBC Data source
Hi, I'd like to create a very simple MSI that installs (configures) a system SQL DSN. I found this snippet in the mailing list archives which seems to work ok but I think there should be a lot more properties that could be configured. I can't seem to find a full WIX syntax reference. I looked at the schema on the WIX website but I couldn't find Server property as used below in the snippet. The below snippet works ok in that it adds the data source with the specified parameters but it configures the datasource to use SQL authentication rather than NT. I would have thought it would be possible to specify all the possible options for creating a datasource. i.e. all the options you get when you go. StartControl PanelAdministrative ToolsODBC Data SourcesAdd select driver, server name, description, authentication mode, username, password, database, etc etc and whole bunch of other options. Hope this makes sense.

Re: [WiX-users] Disallow uninstall if file in use
Thanks, Bob. The MSI standard is to let the uninstall proceed and require a reboot. That means I will need to set some property to force a reboot then? The default behavior doesn't prompt user about the reboot. TIA!

[WiX-users] DisableRegistryReflection
Hello, I am using WiX 2.0 and I want to add this attribute DisableRegistryReflection=yes to one of my Components (that populates registry keys to the x64 hive using Win64=yes). I'm currently building the WiX on XP 32-bit ... but this MSI will eventually run on X64 Vista. When I compile (candle), it repors me the error - 3d:\foo\bar.wxi(306) : error CNDL0004 : The Component element contains an unexpected attribute 'DisableRegistryReflection'.

Re: [WiX-users] Previous Install Folder and Update
Thanks for answer, Bob.
How I can set some variables for uninstall. I have one error in custom
action and default uninstallation always finished with error (custom action
don't return ERROR_SUCCESS value to install and installer interpret this as
error). But if I set some property and uninstall - all correct.
Can I do this?
I've found line in log file:
RemoveExistingProducts: Application: {OLD INSTALL GUID}, Command line:
UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE={GUID} CLIENTUILEVEL=0 REMOVE=ALL
Can I change this?

Write it to the registry and use a RegistrySearch to locate it.

You can schedule the RemoveExistingProducts action in several different
places. See its MSI SDK topic for details.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing dotnet framework along with your MSI package
I've been looking at bootstrappers recently, and I settled on dotNetInstaller, an open source program at http://www.devage.com/Wiki/ViewArticle.aspx?name=dotnetinstaller.

It is well written and easy to modify (despite most of the comments being in Italian!), and so if you need to customise it further, it is relatively straightforward.

You can nest them, which repeats each AppSearch action. You can't nest things under a RegistrySearchRef, not sure why. Because that would require creating a new AppSearch row.

Do you mean you want to be able to change how the uninstallation gets run for
your installers, or
you just want to be able to get rid of the problematic installers you currently
have installed?
If the latter then you can just can run the MSI with
msiexec /x file.msi PROPERTY=some_value
If you don't have the specific MSI any more, run regedit and take a look at the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall key.
Every installed product
has a key in there. Use a text search for your product to find which one is
yours, and then look
for the UninstallString value. It should be of the form
MsiExec.exe /X{GUID}
You can then run
MsiExec.exe /X{GUID} PROPERTY=some_value
to uninstall it with the supplied properties.
If you mean you want to change the installation to overwrite these values,
that's more complicated.
You have to specify all the information in the above key yourself. I think
you also have to
specify ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT, but I'm not sure. Hopefully someone else can
correct me.

Re: [WiX-users] InstallExecuteSequence
Hi Bala, I can't see any column from InstallExecuteSequence table refering to language stuff. Try and save your msi under a different name after modyfing the sequence numbers for those actions. Also, you might want to decompile your msi into a wxs file. For this you can use dark.exe (distributed with Wix) like this: dark.exe -nologo your_setup.msi product.wxs. Then check product.wxs and see what's happening.

Re: [WiX-users] Feature Conditionals and Silent (passive) install
The Windows Installer documentation states that feature conditions are evaluated by the CostFinalize action. This action should be scheduled in both the InstallUISequence (for Full or Reduced UI) and the InstallExecuteSequence (for Basic or No UI). WiX automatically sequences CostFinalize appropriately, but you should check that you haven't suppressed it or got it out of sequence with respect to CostInitialize and FileCost. The order should be CostInitialize, then FileCost, then CostFinalize. That's my best guess based on the documentation. -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pierson Lee (Volt) Sent: 05 July 2007 18:55 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Feature Conditionals and Silent (passive) install I've created an MSI that, through a UI, will determine from a public property that is selected through a radio button, which feature to install.

Re: [WiX-users] Performance counters not getting uninstalled properly
The Perflib key isn't very well designed in Windows; the very long REG_MULTI_SZ values are hard to maintain and you actually can't readily extract particular strings from the middle of the long string. In practice all you can do is append the new counters to the end, meaning that the Last Counter value increments on every installation. The WiX custom action is simply calling the LoadPerfCounterTextStrings API to install, and UnloadPerfCounterTextStrings to uninstall. Modern server software creates a very large number of counters. Right now the Last Counter value on my computer is set to 12532 - I have .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed, plus four instances of SQL Server (one of SQL Server 2000 for my SourceGear Vault source control database, another for test databases, a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition instance added by VS2005 install and a SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance). Make sure your performance counter DLL can cope with six-digit (or greater) counter numbers. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amol Sent: 05 July 2007 17:34 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Performance counters not getting uninstalled properly Hi, I am using the PerfCounter element to install perfcounters for a service.

The current WiX bootstrapper supports that scenario. -- 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] Performance counters not getting uninstalled properly
Well, the interesting thing is that I can use my installer to install the app, and then manually do an unlodctr app and it cleans out the counters perfectly. Mike Dimmick-2 wrote: The Perflib key isn't very well designed in Windows; the very long REG_MULTI_SZ values are hard to maintain and you actually can't readily extract particular strings from the middle of the long string. In practice all you can do is append the new counters to the end, meaning that the Last Counter value increments on every installation. The WiX custom action is simply calling the LoadPerfCounterTextStrings API to install, and UnloadPerfCounterTextStrings to uninstall. Modern server software creates a very large number of counters. Right now the Last Counter value on my computer is set to 12532 - I have .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed, plus four instances of SQL Server (one of SQL Server 2000 for my SourceGear Vault source control database, another for test databases, a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition instance added by VS2005 install and a SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition instance). Make sure your performance counter DLL can cope with six-digit (or greater) counter numbers. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amol Sent: 05 July 2007 17:34 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Performance counters not getting uninstalled properly Hi, I am using the PerfCounter element to install perfcounters for a service.

Re: [WiX-users] How to debug a CustomAction 1723 error ondll invocation?
Thanks for your help, Rob. On 7/5/07, Rob Mensching [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Please keep the mailing list on the line… Sorry about that - switched accounts and dropped the CC accidentally. You have to call it before RemoveFiles executes. Or you have to remove the dependency. I recommend the latter whenever possible. I'm not sure how to remove the dependency. My issue is that I need to clear out a directory of plugins at uninstall time, and the contents of this directory are a mix of installed files and an unpredictable and arbitrarily deep set of files and directories that were downloaded using an update manager built into the product. If you know of a better way to do this, I'd love to hear about it. The custom dll reads the INSTALLDIR from the registry and does a recursive delete of INSTALLDIR/plugins. I couldn't find some easy built in way to do this in WiX, so I tried resorting to the custom dll. To place the CA before RemoveFiles, I placed it before RemoveRegistryValues, but I'm still seeing the same issue.

Yes. The dll that is invoked is installed by the installer. Given that, can you advise what would be the proper point in the install execute sequence to call the action?

[WiX-users] Annoying RemoveFolders problem
I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out this RemoveFolders problem so any help
will be greatly appreciated.
I am attempting to remove 2 folders that I created on install ONLY if all 3
registry keys I'm checking for do not exist.
My Component for removeFolders looks like this:
Component Id=ShareAFolderRemoval Guid={MY-GUID-HERE}
Condition(NOT (KEY1_EXISTS=1) OR NOT (KEY2_EXISTS=1) OR NOT
(KEY3_EXISTS=1)) AND Installed/Condition
RemoveFolder Id=ShareA_RemoveFolder Directory=ShareADir
On=uninstall /
RemoveFolder Id=ShareB_RemoveFolder Directory=ShareBDir
On=uninstall/
/Component
Unfortunately, every time I run the uninstall it will remove the folders even
when the key . My next step is during the folder creation process, to set those
components to Permanent=yes but that causes the folders not to be removed.
Any one have any suggestions?
Thanks

[WiX-users] Support for Build type in WIX
Hi,
I created a new WIX project in VS 2005. I want to pickup files of a windows
application project as the source files. But is there a property\variable i
can directly use to get the build type('Debug' or 'Release').
For example i want to get the files inside 'RenderingService\bin\Debug' or
'RenderingService\bin\Release' based upon the build type of the visual
studio solution. How can i achieve this. I tried the following but it didnt
work.
?define SOURCEFILES=..\RenderingService\bin\$(var.Configuration)?
Can anyone tell me whether there is a property\variable we can use to
distinguish build type?
Thanks,
Yash
