[WiX-users] How to change permission of an existing file and/or folder and its subfolders

2007-09-17 Thread Yongzhi Yu 
Dear All:
  I am a newbie in WIX. I am using WIX 3.0.
  I have two questions to ask.
 
  1: How can I change the permission of an existing folder and all its
subfolders and files. The following code will just change the permission
on the folder only, but not its subfolder and files. Is there anything I
did wrong here?
  

  



  

 
 
 2: How can I change the permission of an existing file. The following
piece of code will not work on an existing file for some reason. First,
I will have to specify a source for this file otherwise when I compile
the WXS file, the compiler will complain the source does not exist. But
the point is, this file should already exist on the machine that runs
the installer, therefore, the file should not be copied by the installer
again (Why would the compiler need the real source file to compile?),
what if the file on the machine runs the installer was already changed,
I do not want to overwrite the existing file with the one copied by the
installer. Secondly, if I specify a source of this file (by giving it a
source point to a real file on the compiler machine), the WXS file
compiled, but when I run the installer, the permission of the file would
not change.
 

  
  



  
  

 
Please help me out with solutions on the two problem. I am dying to know
the answers. Your kind help will be very appreciated.

[WiX-users] Supressing Light.exe errors

2007-09-17 Thread Danny Smith 
Is there a way to suppress Light0099 errors when files are not present? I'm
working on a system where we support installing content from three build
lines (x86, x64, ia64) with a single MSI. Each build line will build the MSI
and the architecture specific cabs will be built in a separate step. 

I'm using an older version of Wix 2.0.

Thanks

[WiX-users] Wix and IIS Issue

2007-09-17 Thread Abdullah Ahmed 
I  recently started using WIX to create an installer for a new product at my
company.

So far I am really loving WIX compared to other install technologies.
However one issue is completely driving me nuts. When I install my MSI on
Windows 2k3 I can no longer use the Computer Management Console  or the
Internet Information Services console. Uninstalling the product fixes that.

I initially thought it may have something to do with me using
WIXIISExtensions and creating a website in the install process, so I went
ahead and removed any references to those, but I still get the same
issuewhen trying to launch IIS I get the message..


MMC Cannot open the file C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc.

This may be because the file does not exist, is not an mmc console, or was
created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you donot have
sufficient access rights to the file.



Now the file exists, I have permissions to it, and I have MMC 3.0.
Uninstalling the program using Add Remove Programs lets IIS Console work
again.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong ?

Re: [WiX-users] Silent install won't copy in files

2007-09-17 Thread Mike Menaker 
When I compare the log files Here is what I got

This is from working (GUI) install:

MSI (s) (40:D0) [14:53:28:913]: Executing op: SetSourceFolder(Folder=C:\Program

MSI (s) (40:D0) [14:53:28:913]: Note: 1: 2318 2: C:\Program

This part is from unattended install:

FileCopy(SourceName=SPEECH_1.CFG|SpeechWorks.cfg,SourceCabKey=SPEECHWorks_cfg,DestName=SpeechWorks.cfg,Attributes=0,FileSize=968,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,CheckCRC=0,,,InstallMode=58982400,HashOptions=0,HashPart1=-1665668314,HashPart2=860919431,HashPart3=-1485459813,HashPart4=996330112,,)

 No existing file

The only differences is from some reason it doesn't put the source/target dirs 
and the unattended file is compressed.

Any help would be very appreciated.

You are using the DestinationProperty attribute in the CopyFile element. 
Try using DestinationDirectory instead.

Re: [WiX-users] Devenv /setup does half of the work

2007-09-17 Thread Ian Sullivan 
Are you installing into the GAC?

If so you need to run your CA during Commit.


From another list
“Commit custom actions are risky – they don’t run if rollback is disabled. The 
problem is that assemblies being installed to the GAC aren’t committed there 
until the install transaction is being committed during InstallFinalize, so 
‘devenv /setup’ before then will fail to find the packages.

Unfortunately, by the time the assemblies are in the GAC, there’s no way to run 
‘devenv /setup’ with elevated privileges. So commit CAs are risky but about 
your only choice.”

As you see it’s a deferred custom action which must be scheduled between

At the end of our installation, an deferred custom action is invoked to 
register our VSTS package as well as the CTC menu:



...



The installation succeeds and our package is registered to Visual Studio 
(custom action return value is 1).
The problem is that the context menu doesn’t shown in the VSTS project 
supported by our package just intalled. Manually running “devenv /setup” solves 
the problem.
Something strange is that “devenv /setup” actually does everything other than 
the context menu registration --- all the other functionalities provided by our 
package works well in VS.

Does anyone have this problem before?

This is why I've been asking Justin about using votive v3 to build wix v2 
projects.  It's a hybrid solution but it seems to work.The risk is minimal 
since the points that could fail are at build time, not install time.

PS- IS is pretty easy to build with TFS once you learn how it works.  I have 
dozens of installers that I use TFS to build with nothing but .NET 2.0, 
TeamBuild and IS StandAloneBuild installed.You just have to understand how 
to map product configurations / releases to your solution config.   If you 
would like, I can send you a sample project.

Had a look at the files and I've finally got my head round this.

As i understand it WiX v2 .wixproj files, which are used for VS
integration, aren't MSBuild files. You have to create your own .wproj files
for that. Which means that WiX v2 isn't compatible withTeam Build (as it
tries to build the .wixproj file).

It'd be really cool if v2 did support Team Build and it's solution centric
build process. Without it we can't really consider using WiX v2 or v3 (as
it's not stable yet).

Which leads me to my next question, is there a rough time line for the
switch to v3?

Oh and in case it makes you feel better Justin I've been messing around
with IS for two days and 2 hotfixes later i still can't get it to build
with MS or Team! :-)

After a SqlScript element is successfully executed, will it be rollbacked if

I see that a RollbackExecuteSqlStrings CA is created.  If it does rollback, how

Peter,

If Heat is exiting with an ArgumentNullException it seems likely that you have 
caught a bug. I suggest making sure it is added to the tracker (at 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=642714&group_id=105970&func=browse - I 
haven't checked to see if there is one entered already).

WiX is really not good (at least not yet) in scenarios where there are large 
numbers of arbitrarily changing files. This is an intentional design decision 
due to the Microsoft Installer component rules, and the difficulties associated 
with creating component definitions which are easy to service (apply patches 
to, etc). IGNORE THE COMPONENT RULES AT YOUR OWN RISK! I thought Rob's blog 
(http://robmensching.com/blog/) had quite a lot of details behind this 
decision, and some examples of what could get messed up if the component rules 
are ignored but it appears I was wrong. Having said that, you may want to read 
http://robmensching.com/blog/archive/2007/03/09/Windows-Installer-identifiers-must-be-stable.aspx,
 and the pages it links to.

The best mechanism, but as you have observed not an automated one, is to 
educate your developers so they know that when they add a file to the solution 
they also need to add a reference to the WiX source if the file needs to be 
deployed. Sadly, in many (if not most) large team environments developers don't 
concern themselves with setup.

Sorry I can't help with your immediate problem.
Regards,
Richard

Subject: [WiX-users] telling WiX to get files from Team Foundation Server

Hi WiX-Team,
I am new to WiX and testing it for about a week, because we need to customize 
the standard Setup of Visual Studio for our webapplication. The problem is that 
we got a pretty big webapplication (about 3000 files and 200 folders to deploy) 
and we are using VS 2005 with Team Foundation Server. So here is the problem 
concerning WiX, I was not able to find any solution in WiX to told it to get 
every File of the Repository folder (especially new checked-in files), the only 
thing I found was to write to the wxs the folderstructure and then adding the 
files, but it is really time consuming to do this and its not really an 
autobuild. Also heat was not able to create a wxs file for me because it does 
always exit with a System.ArgumentNullException. If I decompile the setup of 
Visual Studio with dark it creates me a 2MB wxs file with no real structure at 
all. So is there a possibility to solve this case, or perhaps is there some 
kind of workaround or other technology that could help me out, because I do not 
find a post in the mailing list concerning this problem (or perhaps I was only 
not able to find it)

Regards,
Peter Huster

Re: [WiX-users] Devenv /setup does half of the work

2007-09-17 Thread michael he 
the CTO is part of the resource in the UI dll. Maybe the reason is that when
devenv /setup is running, the UI dll is not there.

Why this must be a deferred custom action? We use the 'regular' custom
action to run devenv /setup when installing a VSIP package.

@all interested to this post,

 

After a little bit work with it I actually found out that this works. If you 
create an msm via VS2005 and reference it in your WiX project it will work with 
a little trick. First You need the Id of the module, which you can gain from VS 
but if you just add the mergemodule, the package seems to be installed to a 
subdirectory of /dev/null . After I added a component with a file in it to the 
directory which contains the mergemodul as well as I added this component to 
the feature with the mergemodul it installed to 
[TARGETDIR]\”inVSspecifiedfolder”. If you want to change the specified folder 
(especially if you use these msm’s in other VS setups  with the “Module 
Retargetable Folder” thing) you just look through the logfile or the decompiled 
wxs of dark and search for the id of the Directory. You will also see that VS 
add a custom action to set the folder and this action is triggered 
Before="CostInitialize" so you can write your own CA in your wix project, 
specify the folder and trigger the event after CostInitialize… although I think 
it’s not the best way and there is certainly a better way because I don’t know 
what will happen if the hard drive is full etc. But this works for now :-)

Thanks Richard!

Peter,

 

That sounds like it might just work….

 

I suspect you should also find that the directory may not be as much trouble as 
you think. Remember that your  element (as opposed to any  
used to tie the contents of the merge module to a feature) will typically be 
placed inside a  anyway… and you have complete control over where 
the  element gets placed.

 

Hope it works for you! If it does, please report back here, as I am sure others 
would be interested too! :-)

Hi Richard,

After having a pretty good lunch I got an idea, but I dont know if WiX could 
possible do the trick. So I can let do Visual Studio do the merge modules and 
instead of creating a msi by Visual Studio I reference these msm files in a 
wxs. I was not able to try it yet, but I think there will be a problem with the 
directories I think (because at the wixtutorial the directories where specified 
in the merge modules as well as in the msi file)… but could that be some kind 
of workaround?

Peter

Sorry, that should have been UninstallOldXYZ in all cases.  The latter
was the result of a borked search & replace rather than post code I'm

Hi All,

I am trying to get my MSI to uninstall an existing application during
installation; the executable and command line for that are stored in
registry:

 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
XYZ_5.0]
"UninstallString"="\"C:\\Windows\\XYZ\\uninstall.exe\"
\"/U:C:\\Program  Files\\XYZ\\irunin.xml\""

I search for it like this in the .wxs file:





... and then I use it like this:







However when I actually run it I get the following:

actually want to run a binary in the MSI - I effectively just want to

a look at the docs for CustomAction but didn't see anything obvious.

Hi, 

There where some breaking changes in schema see

You might use WixCop to move your 2.0 file to 3.0 and check the differences

tries to build the .wixproj file).

It'd be really cool if v2 did support Team Build and it's solution centric

Which leads me to my next question, is there a rough time line for the

To get back to your original question where you're setting $(WixToolPath)
to point to the 2.0 versions… That should work fine unless you try to pass
in arguments that only the 3.0 versions support. I don't remember off the
top of my head what those new properties are, but you'd probably learn
pretty quickly when you get build errors. The WiX project property pages
within Visual Studio are targeted for the 3.0 versions and not all of the
various checkboxes and other settings will work when using the 2.0
candle/light/lit.

There are no plans to touch Votive v2 in any way and all active development
is being done against Votive v3. You could log a feature request, if you
wanted, to add the ability in Votive v3 to target a v2 candle/light/lit. To

Re: [WiX-users] automatc dir / component fragment generation

2007-09-17 Thread Mailinglist 
Hi Kaveh,

I nearly had the same problem, but didn't try tallow at all. In our Solution, 
we simply use a vbscript, that runs as Votive-PreBuildEvent and harvests our 
Webproject. Output is a .wxi file, that is simply included while creation of 
setup.

I'll post the code here, maybe its usefull for you.

[code]
ExcludeExtensions = Array(".cs", ".csProj", ".csproj.vspscc", ".csproj.user")
ExcludeFolders = Array("obj", "Properties")

indent = 1

call HarvestWebFiles()

[WiX-users] automatc dir / component fragment generation

2007-09-17 Thread Kaveh Goudarzi 
Hi All,

I'm working on a project to try to automate the generation of the 
installers for a project as much as possible.  I tried to use tallow 
to generate the component fragments for the file assets which need to 
go in to the installer but its missing GUID's and hard codes the root dir.

I'm in the process of writing an ant task to do this for me however I 
would really appreciate advice on the pitfalls if any of automating this.

My plan is to create a component per directory (as with tallow -d 
option) but automatically generate and substitute the GUID's needed.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem getting wxs file to work under WiX 3.0

2007-09-17 Thread János Brezniczky 
I don't know if it helps, but you could try specifying a Name property for
the program menu folder. I'm not familiar with WiX 3.x, but it worths a try.

Re: [WiX-users] Silent install won't copy in files

2007-09-17 Thread Frédéric Viollet 

Mike Menaker a écrit :


Hi,

I’m having a problem with a silent install.

I have a component that copies 2 files and writes to the registry 
however it isn’t copying the 3 files correctly (yet writing the 
registry correctly).


This is my component.

Guid="49861A79-A034-4e15-BA38-783D2FCC4D90">




DestinationProperty="[ProgramFilesFolder]Test\Config\" />






DestinationProperty="[ProgramFilesFolder]Test\Config\" />






Type='string' 
Value='[ProgramFilesFolder]Test\license_manager\license\test.lic' />




Any ideas why it isn’t copying in the files correctly?

Thanks,

Mike

  
You are using the DestinationProperty attribute in the CopyFile element. 
Try using DestinationDirectory instead.
