[WiX-users] How to cancel an installation (using CancelDlg)?
I'm trying to create a simple UI in WIX (3.0) and have run into trouble at a
very early state... I have a Dialog that is shown before the installation
starts and in that dialog I want a Cancel button that exits the installation
if the user press it (Really basic stuff, I feel a bit stupid having to ask
about this). I have looked at some examples and thay are usually something
like this:
Control Id=Cancel Type=PushButton X=304 Y=243 Width=56
Height=17 Cancel=yes Text=Cancel
Publish Event=SpawnDialog Value=CancelDlg1/Publish
/Control
If the user presses the Cancel button a new (Modal) dialog is shown, the
CancelDlg dialog, is this dialog a predifined dialog? or must I define it
myself?
When I put the statement above in my wix configuration and try to compile it
I get an error from Light:
error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol 'Dialog:EndDialog' in
section 'Product:{4668686C-CD5D-4344-96EF-577787F467A2}'
Do I have to include something when running Light?
Best regards Hans

Re: [WiX-users] How to cancel an installation (using CancelDlg)?
Hi!
sorry, I should have done some more research before posting my question,
when I linked Light with WixUIExtension it worked fine. The only strange
thing is that the CancelDialog is placed in the upper middle part of the
screen, does anybody now why?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action - HowTo call a function from a dll?
You need to have your .dll in the binary folder under where your wxs is. That is: C:\WiXSource\WixProj1\mysource.wxs and C:\WiXSource\WixProj1\Binary\InstallUtil.dll However you might also want to check whether you want to use an immediate custom action or a deferred CA. If you're editing files that are installed, or system state, then it will have to be deferred. Afraid I can't help much with your first question about managed CAs - I've always went with the rule of thumb which says Managed CAs are bad Grin/ Have a look http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php#3.3 here and maybe it'll help a little, not exactly on managed CAs but still... Hope that helps, at least a little... Chris-445 wrote: Sorry, this is probably a common question... Is it possible to call a function of a C#-dll with a custom action? How does it work?

Re: [WiX-users] How to cancel an installation (using CancelDlg)?
What you could also do, which isn't quite as nice is:
Control Id=btnCancel Type=PushButton Width=50 Height=17 X=… Y=…
Text=Cancel
Publish Event=EndDialog Value=Exit /
/Control
(Notice the different Event and Value)
This doesn't ask the user for confirmation however which is why I said it's
not as nice

Re: [WiX-users] Deciding if an UI should be shown based on a property?
You can condition whichever action shows your first UI dialog based on the property that may or may not have been set on the command line. Rob md5hans wrote: Hi! I have created a installtion that have some propeperties that controls where the application should be installed. So far the installation has been started with these values set by the commandline. Now I want to add a UI where the user can for example browse for the folder where the application should be installed. Is there a way to have a condition that decides at installtime if the UI should be used or not.? The conditionion could be that if the property that contains the install path in not set then the UI is shown, otherwise the installation is run without an UI. Is this possible or do I need to create two installation packages? one for silent installs and one for user interaction installation...

[WiX-users] ListBox vs ComboBox
Hi!
Using the sample code in the tutorial
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson10.php; I have managed to fill a
listbox with values from a c++ dll. I would like to use a ComboBox instead
but can not get it to work.
I have tried the following:
Dialog Id=InstallDlg Width=370 Height=270 Title=[ProductName]
[Setup] NoMinimize=yes
...
Control Id=FillListbox Type=ListBox X=8 Y=68 Width=300
Height=60 Property=LISTBOXVALUES TabSkip=no Indirect=no
/Control
/Dialog
(That is changing the Type to ComboBox)
and in the c++ code
extern C UINT __stdcall FillPackageList (MSIHANDLE hInstall) {
HRESULT hResult = WcaInitialize (hInstall, FillPackageList);
if (FAILED (hResult)) return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
MSIHANDLE hTable = NULL;
MSIHANDLE hColumns = NULL;
hResult = WcaAddTempRecord (hTable, hColumns, LComboBox, 0, 3,
LLISTBOXVALUES, 1, LC:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\GeoSE\\Norden\\);
hResult = WcaAddTempRecord (hTable, hColumns, LComboBox, 0, 3,
LLISTBOXVALUES, 2, LC:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\GeoSE\\Sverige\\);
if (hTable)
MsiCloseHandle (hTable);
if (hColumns)
MsiCloseHandle (hColumns);
return WcaFinalize (hResult);
} // FillPackageList
(Changing the third parameter in the WcaAddTempRecord from ListBox to
ComboBox)
When a run the MSI there is an error and the log says
Action start 13:21:40: FillPackageList.
MSI (c) (04:08) [13:21:40:489]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:

MSI (c) (04:2C) [13:21:40:582]: Custom Action Manager thread ending.
Have I missed something basic here? I thought that filling a ListBox and a
ComboBox would be almost identical...

Re: [WiX-users] Setupbld produces file but doesn't do anything?
Thanks for the Process Monitor tip Bob. I didn't see anything showing up in Task Manager for the setup file, but it sure showed up in ProcMon, and yes, I was being sorta dumb. Leads me to a new question. The setup works fine if the application is not installed, but if it is already installed, the setup seems to just reinstall silently. Is there something I have to do to get the msi change/repair/remove screen using the setup, or is that just not supported yet?

[WiX-users] Executing embedded MSI's
Hello, Another newbie question. Our setup requires that we package an MSI file that is already created. I have the following code in my wxs file: !-- Install the MBSA application -- Directory Id='INSTALLDIR_MBSA' Name='MBSA' Component Id='MBSA_APP' Guid='DE7780AD-0BCE-47f0-B8F8-1DE80F8F68E5' File Id='MBSA_MSI' Name='MBSASetup-EN.msi' DiskId='1' Source='$(var.WiX.Global.MBSAAppPath)' Vital='yes' / RemoveFolder Id='MBSAProgramMenuDir' On='uninstall' / /Component /Directory It copies the file but I am not sure how then to execute it. I would rather execute the file than copy it. My previous installer experience is with InstallShield 11.5 and event hen it wasn't a lot of customization. Would it help greatly to learn MSI parallel to WiX? Or is learning the WiX environment sufficient? Thanks! -jdix - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Determine path of MSI log from within executable CA?
I have an executable CA that, due to resource constraints, needs to remain an executable for the time being. I inherited this CA from somebody else in my company and I'm both not that familiar with its language (C#, but I do know C/C++) and not looking to invest a lot of time in fixing it. The issue is that I need to log the progress of the CA to a log file which is located in an accessible location (such as the same place as the MSI log) and is also named similarly to the MSI log, so it would be easy for the customer to locate it for attaching to an email to tech support. Is there an easy way to programmatically (C#) determine the path and filename of the log file for the current MSI session? The only thing that I've come up so far with is to look in the %TEMP% location and grab the newest MSI*.log file, but I was hoping for something better. As I mentioned I don't write C# so if you know of a solution and would be willing to provide an example for me, it would be very appreciated.
