[WiX-users] setup.exe has no icon?
Folks: The setup.exe built using setupbld.exe in the latest (3.0.3106.0) version of WIX doesn't include an application icon. Most other installers appear to have some kind of installer icon. Is this choice intentional? I realize I can make a manual copy of the setup.exe 'stub', and put an icon in myself, and then use that stub. But is there some reason WIX doesn't provide an icon for the setup bootstrapper? Is there some reason its not made more easy to override the icon (or provide one if there is none)?

Re: [WiX-users] UILevel
Hello, I think you can set the [UILevel] Property according to http:// msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa372096.aspx So if you have a registry value with that numeric value, your wxs may look like Property Id=UILevel RegistrySearch Id=SetUILevel Root=HKLM Key=Somewhere\InThe \Registry Name=MyUILevel /Property Test this carefully with registry value different from the allowed ones.

Re: [WiX-users] Annoying RemoveFolders problem
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. Condition(NOT (KEY1_EXISTS=1) OR NOT (KEY2_EXISTS=1) OR NOT (KEY3_EXISTS=1)) AND Installed/Condition Isn't there a logical error? ... (not key1exists) or (not key2exists) or (not key3exists) ... == if any of the the keys do not exists it returns true. Shouldn't this be AND instead of OR? Also, if those 2 folders get created during installation, does the Windows Installer not remove them on uninstallation automatically? And finally, RemoveFolder can only remove empty folders as far as I know.

[WiX-users] program output as conditional
I'm trying to build a windows installer for a MiKTeX package, and it needs to do some simple checks. These checks must be performed by running specific programs, the output of which go into decision trees. Can I do that with WiX? For instance, my installer would first have to run tex --version and use a string in the output of that command as decision on what to do next. Then, it will have to run kpsewhich config.cfg and the output of that is used in future decisions. I can do all of these easily in a unix shell, but in WiX? Thanks for any hint!

[WiX-users] Proper use of heat on a COM control
I'm starting to build an installer for an application that includes a number of VB6 authored OCX controls. It seems that the correct way to capture COM registration data for these OCXs is to use 'heat file ...', which seems to generate nice Wix fragments. I want to call heat as part of the build process (rather than use its output as a template and commit it to source control) so that if the OCX interface changes, as it does from time to time, the fragment is recreated. Question 1: If I use the -gg argument to generate a GUID each time, does it matter that the component is effectively a different component in each build? I should note that currently, we only ever do major upgrades. Question 2: What is the best way to invoke heat as part of a build process? I'm currently deciding whether to use make or msbuild to tie everything together, and invoking heat from make is obviously quite straightforward, but I'm less familiar with msbuild.

Re: [WiX-users] Removing Folders
No, RemoveFolder only removes empty folders. You'd have to create a RemoveFolder entry for each subfolder, and then have RemoveFile entries for all the files they contain. You can use wildcards in RemoveFile though, so it's not as painful as it could be. If you have a lot of files/folders, such that creating RemoveFolder/RemoveFile components for each one is impractical or severely annoying, I think a Custom Action is your best bet.

[WiX-users] Checkbox that won't check or un-check
I've got a checkbox in my installer that for some reason cannot be changed
by the user and I haven't a clue why. Anyone got some ideas?
Here's some code snippets:
The initial state is set to checked... (most users will want to upgrade ..
some will need to keep old versions because later versons of WMF are not
100% backward compatible with 9.0)
Property Id=WMFVERSION Value=0x00090005 /
Property Id=UPGRADEWMFTO95 Value=1 /
The WMFVERSION property is set by radio buttons to either 0x00090005 or
0x0009 if no version of WMF is found at all. The dialog that does that
is not shown (as expected) in the case that is failing for me.
I show a dialog based on found versions of Windows Media Format SDK
redistributables...
!-- Sense existing WMF version --
Property Id=WMF90
DirectorySearch Id=CheckWmfKeyFile90 Path=[SystemFolder]

Depth=0
FileSearch Id=wmfKeyDll95 MinVersion=10.0.0.3645 MaxVersion=
99... Name=wmvcore.dll/
/DirectorySearch
/Property
The dialog with the checkbox... only shown if WMF90 is set and WMFHI isn't
set. (If anyone has a better way to detect the version of installed Windows
Media format SDK redistributables, please let me know.)

Any help is appreciated.
