[WiX-users] WiX Product Version - Installer Version Vs Software Version
Hi, In WiX - the installer version is defined in Product Node - Version attribute and this information is also visible in Add / Remove programs - version column after installation.. For some application such as ORCA / Internet Explorer - the version mentioned in the Add / Remove Programs (installer version) is different from software version. (Software version is obtained from Alt+H and About Program option. ) For some other applications such as MSDN, Communicator etc - the installer version and the software version are same. 1) What is the best practice for defining installer version and software version. 2) What are the advantages / disadvantages for maintaining these two versions same or different.

Then add that wxs file to your Compile itemgroup to get it compiled (and linked) to an msi. An easier way is to create a custom MSBuild task to get the version number and pass it in as a pre-processor variable: Target Name=BeforeBuild MyGetVersionTask Output TaskParameter=Version PropertyName=MyVersion / /MyGetVersionTask CreateProperty Value=Version=$(MyVersion);$(DefineConstants) Output TaskParameter=Value PropertyName=DefineConstants / /CreateProperty /Target This will pass in your version into candle as a pre-processor variable, which you can access with $(var.Version).

[WiX-users] DLLs and uninstalls
Hey guys, I'm still struggling installing some DLLs...well - uninstalling some DLLs I've managed to get the fragments out of tallow, and to link my installer and it even seems to work. However when I uninstall the application the registry entries remain, and the files aren't removed from the WINDOWS\system32 directory. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way it's supposed to work? I've not really had much experience when it comes to setup development. I'm thinking of calling regsvr32 /u for each of the DLLs at the install and uninstall to make sure that the DLLs installed on the target machine are unregistered before the new ones are installed and that they are also unregistered upon uninstall. Therefore I'd make sure the registry entries are removed. Are there any drawbacks to this?

Re: [WiX-users] Informational Registry key for windows products
Not too sure about this one either but you can set a bunch of properties in
the MSI, which as far as I can tell correspond to (at least some of) these
entries.
Have a look on http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson5.php#5.8 here again.

Thanks all, I was a little confused I was thinking that Wix and MSBuild did basically the same thing and you could use one or the other. Sorry Bob Arnson-6 wrote: jcafaro10 wrote: Well I think how it works is the version number is stored somewhere so we need to check it out to modify it, and then check it back in so it becomes part of the install. Is there an AfterCompile attribute instead of InstallFiles? Maybe I'm doing that too late. Or is it just not possible to do these things with wix and I have to do them with MSBuild or Nant Custom actions are for install time behavior. You want compile-time behavior, so yes, your build scripts are the right place. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I think you may have to define Advertised=no (I think 'yes' is the default if undefined) else the shortcut creation will attempt to make a shortcut to the component's keypath, which isn't a file and so may choose not to make one (as you've seen).

[WiX-users] looking for a less time consuming Multilanguage installer

The installers contain the exact same Features nothing different in them at all, and the features contain the exact same components and components contain the exact same files. Building 1 language takes ~ an hour 26 * 1 hour = 1day to make an installer That works for all said languages The only thing different between the installers is the ProgressText/UIText/ErrorText/Some Properties. The Msi itself doesn't embed the Files it will be installing. (Just in case that is important) After all the MSI's are build I run the Msitrans.exe and MsiBD.exe to create my Transformations.

Re: [WiX-users] DLLs and uninstalls
If things aren't being uninstalled, it's typically because Windows Installer still thinks they're referenced. Assuming you haven't marked the components as Permanent - in which case Windows Installer will never remove them - it's probably the legacy shared DLL reference count. Whatever you used to use to install these DLLs may well have left a count behind. In passing I'll note that the System32 folder is one of those locations that Windows Installer will initialise the shared DLL reference count, if not already present. Installing in private locations does not do this. You are strongly recommended not to install your own components in System32 unless absolutely required. If you want to share a component among multiple installers of your own, create a folder under [CommonFilesFolder], but note that both the definition/composition and GUID of the component MUST be identical in all installers. If you don't care about sharing the binary, place the DLL in your program folder. I would strongly advise against using regsvr32 /u. You should rely on Windows Installer to undo any registration when the components are uninstalled. The continuing presence of the registry entries is a symptom, not a cause. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexei Sent: 07 August 2007 10:28 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] DLLs and uninstalls Hey guys, I'm still struggling installing some DLLs...well - uninstalling some DLLs I've managed to get the fragments out of tallow, and to link my installer and it even seems to work.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with registering COM dll
In general, you should use [#fileid] rather than constructing a string based
on TARGETDIR or INSTALLDIR, if you're installing the file you're
referencing.
Here, however, the .NET Framework is expecting a URL, using the file:
scheme.

I see that the use of [INSTALLDIR] in the registry entry - perhaps edited by

This is not guaranteed to be an error, e.g. if you've ensured that the two
properties are equal, but it seems fragile.
You can check the installed registry entries to see if they have the full
path to WelcomeCOM.dll, or just the filename alone, to know if this is
causing an error.

Hi Oli Many thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it, was really stuck! My final code was this if anyone wondered CustomAction Id=installMTMAgentService Directory=pythonD0 ExeCommand='[#pythonF3] [#mCoreF188] install' / PythonF3 and mCoreF188 are the correct files for python.exe and service.pyo, i just had to add quotes round it, took a while because the python code needed an environment var, but i created a work around!

Re: [WiX-users] Goodbye fragmentref - how to replace?
My recommendation would be to either put this authoring as a child of your Product element or use a wxi (wix include) to pull it in from an external file. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Tavares Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 1:35 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Goodbye fragmentref - how to replace?

Re: [WiX-users] Wix branding
The same topic in the v3 WiX.chm describes the different approach required for WiX v3's WixUI library. Mark Line wrote: Replacing the stock bitmaps The WixUI dialog library includes stock bitmaps for the background of the welcome and installation-complete dialogs and the top banner of the other dialogs. You can override those graphics with your own for product-branding purposes.

I have an InstallDir type of UI, and I don't want to change anything else, just have 2 custom bitmaps. Is there a fast way to achieve that?

If you point WIXUI_INSTALLDIR to a directory immediately under TARGETDIR, MSI defaults to the drive with the most available space. You can provide another default using intervening Directory elements, such as ProgramFilesFolder or via a custom action that sets the directory. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
