Re: [WiX-users] error LGHT0112 : ..'UI:wixui.wxlib' error , wixui.wxlib on commandline
I guess that's the idea, going by the docs where I find this By default, WixUI doesn't include any translated Error or ProgressText elements by default. You can include them by referencing the WixUI_ErrorProgressText UI element: UIRef Id=WixUI_Minimal / unfortunately when I use that in place of the UIRef Id=WixUI / which was in the example file TestMinimal.wxs to begin with I get the same error. Obviously I'm doing something wrong but what? my commandline arguments: candle.exe -out examples\wixui\TestMinimal.wixobj examples\wixui\Testminimal.wxs light.exe -out test20070723001.msi examples\wixui\TestMinimal.wixobj Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen On 7/23/07, bryan rasmussen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I'm using wix-2.0.5325, which on sourceforge is described as WiX v2 (stable), whereas the newer version is Wix development.

Re: [WiX-users] How to deploy all the files inside the folder rather than specifying each files
Lingappa, Attached are two files: PackageTree.cs, a custom task that generates an XML file containing a WiX fragment, and metadata.cs an auxilary class that handles the GUIDS. The code is still a bit rough around the edges, but works fine. A .metadata.xml file is created in every subdirectory to store the GUIDs that the task creates for each component. You will get warnings for every file the first time it runs, and then from then on just warnings when new files are added. You want something like this in your wixproj file to get it to run and create a fragment file called tree.wxs that contains components for each file ending in .txt in c:\some\directory. The generated file will automatically get compiled.

Re: [WiX-users] Set variable with custom action
AFAIK you can't. What you can do, is change property values at runtime, like this: Property Id=VARtest/Property CustomAction Id=CustomAction1 Return=check Execute=immediate Property=VAR Value=Something Else/ And of course, giving the custom action a proper sequence. However, this may or may not work according to how you use the variable at your project. How are you intending to use that var, and what do you want to accomplish? Maybe there is another way to do it. K-ballo.- oesimartin escribió: How can I set a variable at setup runtime with a custom action? The definition of the variable: ?define VAR = test?

[WiX-users] Directories and Components
Hi There, I'm just wondering if there is an easier way to do this. You see, the product I'm installing has many directories containing files. My current understanding is that seeing 'Component' elements can not have 'Directory' elements as children, I must create a new component for every directory that is going to contain files. Then following this, I must obviously make sure I add every single component via 'ComponentRef' elements in my 'Feature'. So I end up with something like !-- Directory of say c:\Program Files\My App -- Directory ... Component Id='Component1' ... File ... / File ... / /Component !-- Directory of say c:\Program Files\My App\Dir1 -- Directory ... Component Id='Component2'... File ... / File ... / /Component /Directory !-- Directory of say c:\Program Files\My App\Dir2 -- Directory ... Component Id='Component3'... File ... / File ... / /Component /Directory /Directory Feature ... ComponentRef Id='Component1' / ComponentRef Id='Component2' / ComponentRef Id='Component3' / /Feature But I think it would be tidier and easier to maintain if I could do something like this: Component Id='MainComponent' Directory ... File ... / File ... / !-- Directory of say c:\Program Files\My App\Dir1 -- Directory ... File ... / File ... / /Directory !-- Directory of say c:\Program Files\My App\Dir2 -- Directory ... File ... / File ... / /Directory /Directory /Component Feature ... ComponentRef Id='MainComponent' / /Feature Is this possible? Ie. is there a way to reduce the number of components I must have? Or is the way I'm currently doing it the most efficient way to do multiple directories? Thank you, Ian. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] MSBuild / localisation variable problem
This is my first post, so please bear with me. I'm using weekly build 3.0.3113.0 but have tried the previous two/three weekly builds. When I build locally in Visual Studio all is well, but when we do a continuous integration build using MS build on our buildserver I get the following: C:\delivery\Dev\wix_public\src\ext\uiextension\wixlib\BrowseDlg.wxs(18): error LGHT0102: The localization variable !(loc.WixUIOK) is unknown. Please ensure the variable is defined. I initially got this problem on my client VS 2005 build when the 'Cultures' option on the project settings for the linker was not set, but this went away for my local builds when I worked out how to get it to save the option properly. WixUIExtension is definitely referenced and the build works successfully on both my client and buildserver when I comment out the UiRef tag. Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem?

[WiX-users] msiexec question
Hello, This is almost certainly an msi related issue but I thought I'd see if anyone has run into the same problem. We use Wix to author 8 merge modules and use InstallShield for the main installation (soon to be entirely Wix). Sometime in the last week we've started getting the following error message when installing from CD or ISO: Disk full: Out of disk space - Volume: 'D:'; required space: 250,000 KB; available space: 0 KB. Something has changed and we're checking the source directory for the available space to install instead of the target. When this is CD or ISO it won't have the space needed. I've compared a verbose log from the last known good install and a recent one and the only apparent difference is when msi changes the OutOfDiskSpace and OutOfRbDiskSpace properties from 0 to 1 which results in the error message. I've also exported all the msi tables from the last known good and a recent msi and diff'ed them but again nothing obvious stands out. What property change would cause this? Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] Directories and Components
Is this possible? Ie. is there a way to reduce the number of components I must have? Or is the way I'm currently doing it the most efficient way to do multiple directories? Sadly a component can only contain files in one directory. You could use heat to automate the gathering of the files to install - it generates all the components and then a single ComponentGroup containing all those components.

I downloaded the latest 3.0 release and when I attempt to install the project aggregator MSI windows gives me an error message A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\ProjectAggregator2.msi There are a couple odd things about this. For one, access to my local C drive doesn't require any access to the network. Sencodly, the file name of the msi is C:\ProjectAggregator2-3.0.2925.msi not the C:\ProjectAggregator2.msi that is shown in the error message. It doesn't matter what folder I put the MSI in before I launch it.. the error message adapts to the folder name, but still has the wrong file name. So I renamed the file so that it matched the error message and it worked! Still... that's just plain weird and I don't want it to happen with my own MSI installers.

[WiX-users] how to deliver additional assembly (GAC'd) files (not in the RTM product) via an MSP
My team is currently converting our internal tool that is based on msimsp (WiX 1.0) to use WiX 2.0. One issue we wanted to correct is how our internal tool is able to insert a new assembly into the BOM during the creation of the MSP. Currently it handles only native code binaries for this scenario. Based on the MSDN guidance, we are adding the Assembly Manifest tag in the .wxs which is authored by the tool. We are getting errors stating Assembly tag is not supported. Where can we get the story on how to deliver additional assembly (GAC'd) files (not originally in the RTM product) via an MSP? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] customactions and installsequence
In effect, Windows Installer makes two passes over the actions in between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize. In the first pass, by the client process that called MsiDoAction (which is msiexec.exe if you just ran an .msi from Explorer), the installer writes out a script for the tasks each standard action and *deferred* custom action must perform, but it doesn't actually do them yet. Any *immediate* custom actions are, as the name indicates, executed immediately when encountered. The script generated is then handed off to the Windows Installer service when the InstallFinalize action is encountered in the execute sequence. It's this script which actually installs the files. If you want to modify a file you're installing, you'll need a deferred custom action. This has the limitation that it cannot read the original database, only a special custom action data property which has the same name as the custom action, plus a few other properties (only the script is passed across to the Windows Installer service). The pattern that WiX uses is an immediate custom action that appears in the execute sequence, which reads tables to work out what to do, then schedules one or more deferred custom actions to actually do the work (passing the commands in the custom action data for the deferred actions). If you do this, be sure to set the Modified and Created timestamps to the same value, otherwise when you come to apply an upgrade, Windows Installer will think that the user has modified the file and will not overwrite it. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frédéric Viollet Sent: 23 July 2007 16:14 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] customactions and installsequence Hi everyone.

Re: [WiX-users] [WiX-devs] FileSearch on x64
ComponentSearch/@Guid is the value of the Component/@Guid you want to search for, known as the Component ID. For both the x86 and x64 SQL products, I recommend you open each MSI and find that file in the File table. Take note of the Component_ column in the File table for sqlserver.exe in each, then find that component in the Component table. Use the value in the ComponentId column for that row. This locates the component based on the component ID. That's what Windows Installer registers for component. The ComponentSearch finds the location of that component. Then your FileSearch checks that the required file (with all your parameters specified) is there and, yes, sets the Property/@Id to the path of that file.

Windows doesn't support that (to avoid abuse) so there's nothing MSI can do to control it. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] Quiet execution customaction

How do I invoke a custom action that doesn't show a cmd window on Wix3.0? WiX v3 includes wixca.dll embedded in WixUtilExtension.dll. Pass the -ext switch to load WixUtilExtension.dll then use CustomAction/@BinaryKey=WixCA to refer to it. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] Multiple files of the same name in Merge Module
Thanks bob. Yes I think the cab file only having one of the ID's per case is exactly the problem.
