[WiX-users] ICE82 with Merge Module
Hello all, I'm building a setup program and a merge module using Wix. In my merge module I am referencing ProgramFilesFolder - I want to install something in Program Files\Common Files\MyCompany.In my main setup program I am also referencing ProgramFilesFolder - I want to install something in Program Files\MyCompany\MyProduct. Same story for CommonFilesFolder and CommonAppDataFolder. In my main setup I reference the module defined by my MSM having parent DirectoryRef Id=CommonAppDataFolder. When I build the setup program I get ICE82 warnings like: light.exe : warning LGHT1076: ICE82: This action ProgramFilesFolder.4970B713_F7C B_4D61_B40B_4612256BA1FC has duplicate sequence number 1 in the table AdvtExecut eSequence. When I look inside AdvtExecuteSequence, AdminUISequence, AdminExecuteSequence, InstallExecuteSequence, InstallUISequence they all define : CommonFilesFolder.MSM_GUID, ProgramFilesFolder.MSM_GUID, CommonAppDataFolder.MSM_GUID all having sequence 1. Can you please tell me if there is someting wrong with what I've done and how should I do it correctly in order to avoid this warning ?

Re: [WiX-users] Network install - group policy: problem assigning to user.
Hi: I think there is some issue with ur Group policy settings. As far as i knw there is no issue with Wix since i have installed my sample MSI (generated from Wix file) using Group policy settings. OneReallyCoolApplication wrote: Hi, I am trying to install a WIX-built MSI package to network users using Windows Server 2003's Group Policy Object Editor. I can publish to a user and assign to a computer, but cannot assign to a user - the OS does not display any sort of message and nothing appears in Add and Remove Programs. Is there something that I can do in WiX to resolve this, maybe a property that I need to set? (I'm not sure if this is relevant to WiX, but thought it was worth a try).

And again - of course you need to use VerifyPath='subDirectory[\[].=DirTwo[\]]' The \ is escape character (not /).

[WiX-users] force upgrade
Hi everyone, is there a way to force an upgrade even if the version I'm want to install is already installed? I'm using the bootstrapping possibility offered by Wix to generate a executable file (setupbld). The options I use are mcpsu. At the moment, if I double click on the setup file and that the product's version is already installed, nothing happens. There isn't even a notification to tell that the installation won't start because the product is already up to date. What I would like is start the installation process even if I'm trying to install the same version. Is this possible? Thanks for your help. Fred - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Bug? InstallCertificates called when it shouldn't be?
I'm working in Wix v3, and I've got a conditional component that is supposed to install a certificate when the property CERTIFICATEPATH is set, but I'm running into problems because InstallCertificates seems to be called regardless of whether the component with the certificate is installed. InstallCertificates then fails installing with the invalid data. This seems like a bug that InstallCertificates is being called even though its component was not supposed to be installed. The component definition: Component Id=CertificateComponent Guid=MY-GUID KeyPath=yes ConditionInstalled OR CERTIFICATEPATH/Condition iis:Certificate Id=SSLcertificate Name=MySSLCertificate CertificatePath=[CERTIFICATEPATH] Request=no PFXPassword=[CERTIFICATEPASSWORD] StoreLocation=localMachine StoreName=personal/ /Component It looks like the installer decided it doesn't need to install the component: MSI (s) (88:74) [09:19:35:063]: Component: CertificateComponent; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Null But then the InstallCertificates action is still called with the certificate data from that component (tries to resolve SSLCertificate) and the installation fails (see below log). If I remove the component from the package entirely, everything goes OK. MSI (s) (88:74) [09:19:35:854]: Doing action: InstallCertificates Action 9:19:35: InstallCertificates.

Re: [WiX-users] Create Hardlink with WiX
To create hardlinks on pre-W2K *and* later, use MoveFileEx() with MOVEFILE_CREATE_HARDLINK ... works like a charm since NT 4.0 ;) Alternatively, if it makes you feel bad to use undocumented features, use CreateHardLink() on W2K and later.
