[WiX-users] Error on Uninstall when some files missed (deleted)
Hi All! I have error on uninstall if some files in my install dir are deleted manually (for example). When I execute install.msi, I've following message: Another version of this product is already installed... If I try uninstall throught Add|Remove Prg, system promt me select install source (but I didn't remove source from temp files), if I select original source I recieve error that this source is not valid installation package, but I run this install from this... (I heal this only by find in regedit and delete several reg keys) What happens? Thanks, Anton. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?

Re: [WiX-users] What determines the order of shortcuts
My understanding is that the order that shortcuts appear is usually alphabetical. But ultimately it is a user-setting. Schortcut groups are just folders and I believe that the arrange by setting applies. Windows does store some special metadata about ordering though, since you can drag items around into the order that you want. Take a look in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Men uOrder\Start Menu\Programs. Cheers, John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] customactions and installsequence
Ok, thanks a lot for your explanation. So if I correctly understood what you said, I must declare my custom action as deferred. So I guess I write it this way: CustomAction Id='ConfigureHttpConf' BinaryKey='apmwsinst.dll' DllEntry='apm_edit_conf' Execute='deferred' Return='check' / InstallExecuteSequence Custom Action='ConfigureHttpConf' After='InstallFiles'NOT Installed/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence Is the After='InstallFiles' still correct? Thanks again? Mike Dimmick a écrit : 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. begin:vcard fn;quoted-printable:Fr=C3=A9d=C3=A9ric Viollet n;quoted-printable:Viollet;Fr=C3=A9d=C3=A9ric org:Bull, Architect of an Open World (TM);Evidian S.A. adr;quoted-printable:;;Rue Jean Jaur=C3=A8s;Les Clayes Sous Bois;;78340;France email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] title:Software Engineer tel;work:01 30 80 77 34 url:http://www.evidian.com - http://www.bull.com version:2.1 end:vcard - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Combining installations
I'm looking for a good way to include/embed/combine 2 installations. I have an installation that depends on the product of a different vendor. The second installation is only available as an MSI package. My wish is to fully combine the installations, so the users can also pick the components in the second package from my installation. Is this possible? What are the alternatives; bootstrapper or a customaction that installs the second package? I'm just a beginner in WiX so I would also like to know the pro's and con's of the solutions. I hope this question hasn't been asked before but the search server seems to be down so i'm not able to search the mailinglists.

[WiX-users] custom dialog set build with nant error
nant gives the following error: Build File c:\tools\wix.include does not exist.
I suppose in reference to this include.
include buildfile=..\..\..\..\wix.include
unless=${property::exists('wix.properties.defined')} /
so, two questions where are the includes in the example? and how do I
set the wix.properties.defined property so that I don't need the
includes.

Re: [WiX-users] Combining installations
Jeroen, A bootstrapper (also known in some places as a chainer) is the option to use. Microsoft Installer does not support two simultaneous installations. (There was a custom action intended to support nested installations, but it was deprecated long ago. Based on comments from others, I understand this to have been because it really didn't work properly and the problems of allowing true nested installations were greater than the benefit from having that option available.) WiX 3 has (I believe) a partial implementation of a bootstrapper. Other options include dotNetInstaller (http://www.codeproject.com/install/dotNetInstaller.asp) NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ ) and Inno setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php). (The last two choices are actually full installation toolkits, but since they are not MSI based you can't use them to build the complete setup if you want to meet Microsoft logo requirements and/or appropriately support customers with license management tools like Microsoft's Systems Management Server [SMS].)

Re: [WiX-users] ProgramFilesFolder referenced by registry key
The WiX references to keys are the same concepts as registry keys. The
Type=string is how you
tell WiX you want a string value. When you say it doesn't work, what does it
do?

[WiX-users] Msi inside msi ?
Hi everybody, I'm trying to deliver a product with a msi, and I need help. I want to separate this product in two part, the big and commun one with all the main program, and the small and specific one with some configuration files. The idea behind this separation is to make easier futurs changes in the main program, without having to re-package all the specific parts. I have tried some stuff since a week, but I can't find the good one :( Actually my idea is to create 2 msi, one for each part of my application, and to include them into a bigger msi. (I don't know if this is the best way to achieve my aim, but at the beginning it sounded good). So I want the big msi to install the 2 msi. I employ the CustomAction type 50 (with [SystemFolder]msiexec and /quiet /i path_to_small_msi ). But it seems impossible to install two msi in the same time. So I tried to add Execute=commit to the CustomAction, without success (the first install of the big msi is not finish when the install of one of the two msi inside begins) Last week I also tried to make a module. The module worked fine, but the problem is that the module is include in the main msi when the main msi is created with light.exe, it's not an externel link. I hope you will be able to help me :) Thanks in advance! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

[WiX-users] Prevent overwrite on upgrade
Hi, I have a scenario where a product has a config file that gets installed with some default values at initial install. The user may subsequently add or remove lines from this file. Therefore on upgrade I do not want it to get overwritten with the initial version again. The file is actually already wrapped in it's own component so I am wondering if I can just use the Component NeverOverwrite=true/ flag but the docs say this is only for components being registered by the Registry table, not by the AppId, Class, Extension, ProgId, MIME, or Verb tables. How do I know which table the component is being registered by? This is just an ini style text file... Thanks :-) -john - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] Credential elevation for silent install in Vista
This is a known issue with UAC in Vista. You can choose to do a /QB for brief instead of fully silent and then you'll actually see/aprove the eleveation request. Otherwise the reccomendation is that you run the package from an elevated process ( such as using a tool like SMS 2003 ) as to avoid the scenario in the first place ) Vincent Ho [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm attempting a silent install in Windows Vista.

The flip side is that there is very little use to a fully silent install if an interactive step is needed to invoke it.

Re: [WiX-users] Prevent overwrite on upgrade
This option sets the msidbComponentAttributesNeverOverwrite bit in the Attributes column of the Component table for the component. If you use @Advertise='no' with the Class, Extension, ProgId, MIME, Verb elements, WiX generates Registry table entries rather than the corresponding Class (etc) table entries. However, Windows Installer already does not overwrite files that have been modified (where the Modified date is different from the Created date), if the default file versioning options are used. These cannot be changed (as far as I know) for a new install, but for a reinstall you can change what Windows Installer does by setting the REINSTALLMODE property. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of LEMIRE, JOHN Sent: 24 July 2007 17:08 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Prevent overwrite on upgrade Hi, I have a scenario where a product has a config file that gets installed with some default values at initial install.

Re: [WiX-users] Registry Permissions
This isn't your key to modify so I wouldn't advise doing this. It'll weaken system security to an extent - your users won't thank you. You shouldn't need to modify the permissions on this key to allow anything running as NetworkService to write log entries. If you're creating a log event source, do it as part of the installation rather than allowing your (ASP.NET?) application to do it at runtime. WiX has an EventSource element (in the Util schema for WiX 3.0) which can help you create this. -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Poploskie Sent: 24 July 2007 14:03 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Registry Permissions I'm attempting to add permissions to an existing registry key during installation.

Re: [WiX-users] customactions and installsequence
Sorry, either mark as deferred and schedule between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize, or mark as immediate and schedule after InstallFinalize. If you try to schedule a deferred action after InstallFinalize I believe you'll get a runtime error. If you use an immediate action after InstallFinalize your action cannot cause the install to roll back (because the transaction has already been committed). -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frédéric Viollet Sent: 24 July 2007 09:35 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] customactions and installsequence Ok, thanks a lot for your explanation. So if I correctly understood what you said, I must declare my custom action as deferred. So I guess I write it this way: CustomAction Id='ConfigureHttpConf' BinaryKey='apmwsinst.dll' DllEntry='apm_edit_conf' Execute='deferred' Return='check' / InstallExecuteSequence Custom Action='ConfigureHttpConf' After='InstallFiles'NOT Installed/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence Is the After='InstallFiles' still correct? Thanks again? Mike Dimmick a écrit : 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. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Registry keys remain after uninstall - if more than one instance
Hi all, I'm a relatively new user of WiX, and have just subscribed to this mailing list - hopefully to get this question answered. I've searched Google, but couldn't find an answer, and the search of the mailing list archives is currently not working. Anyhow here's the question and situation I'm having a problem getting registry settings removed on an uninstall. I'm using a transform in my install so that I can have more than one instance on my computer, and have this code fragment in my .wxs file: Component Id=Cllserver.exe206e81c9d9c735662a Guid=3E51105A-8E92-3EA4-88AF-E1B7F5DAF33A File Id=Fllserver.exe206e81c9d9c735662a Name=llserver.exe LongName=llserver.exe Source=C:\p4\les.core\main\dist\LES_CORE_RELEASE\world\bin\llserver.exe/ Registry Id='LLRegistryConfig' Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Open Text\Livelink Intranet\[LES_SERVICENAME]' Name='Config' Action='write' Type='string' Value='[INSTALLDIR_NO_TRAILING_SLASH]\config\opentext.ini' / Registry Id='LLRegistryHome' Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Open Text\Livelink Intranet\[LES_SERVICENAME]' Name='Home' Action='write' Type='string' Value='[INSTALLDIR_NO_TRAILING_SLASH]' / Registry Id='LLRegistryProgFolder' Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Open Text\Livelink Intranet\[LES_SERVICENAME]' Name='Program Folder' Action='write' Type='string' Value='[LES_SERVICENAME]' / Registry Id='LLRegistryVersion' Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Open Text\Livelink Intranet\[LES_SERVICENAME]' Name='Version' Action='write' Type='string' Value='[RELEASE_VERSION]' / Registry Id='LLServiceName' Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Open Text\Livelink\[ProductCode]' Name='LLServiceName' Action='write' Type='string' Value='[LES_SERVICENAME]' / /Component When I uninstall and there's only one instance on the server, the uninstall works as planned. However, if there's more than one instance, then the keys remain in the registry - probably because the Key is tied to the same component with a different ProductID. Is there anything I'm missing that would cause these keys to remain ? Jim Fagan Build Engineer - Open Text - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Anyone have suggestions on how to handle the situation where setup fails on uninstall because the website associated with a virtual directory no longer exists? It is possible for users to re-create the website in IIS manager and then run uninstall, but it seems it would be better to simply ignore that the virtual directory/web site is missing and continue on with setup (same as would happen if an installed file was missing during uninstall).
