[WiX-users] Component Guids - Version Changes
Hey WIX Users, I am using WIXv3 3.0.2921 build. And I am able to use automatic component guid generation as stated by Derek in: http://installing.blogspot.com/2006/09/automatically-generating-component.html I also understand that this is a new feature in WIXv3 and may not be stable enough to use. I have the following questions regarding this: 1)As component guids are generated for every build, if I just do a candle+light twice on my WIX code with just same binaries I get two different guids. Am I right? 2)When are these guids generated? At compile time OR link time? Candle time or light time? Because, we have a fragment which is locale independent one and needs to carry the same GUID across all locale specific MSIs where this fragment is absorbed. Hence, I am ok if it generates at compile/candle time. Can someone confirm? 3)Can component guids change across service packs for the same binary? That is, to generate a patch I will have a RTM MSI and then SP1 MSI which I diff using MSP related tools to get a msp. Since, RTM MSI and SP1 MSI have different GUIDs for same component (but same component id) how the MSP gets effected? Thanks a lot. Thanks, Laxmi - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
Hi, I'm new to WiX and have been trying the WiXEdit tool to build an installer. I have been working through a turorial and successfully built the initial MSI file with a custome dialog to collect user information that will be written to the registry but now I have come up against a few issues I can't get around: 1 - Default value of a propoerty I have 2 properties that are populated by a regirstry search. These property values then form the default values in textboxes on my custom form. This works OK. When the registry key is not there or empty how can I give the property a default value? Property Id=MDBFULLPATH RegistrySearch Id=MDBPathRegistry Type=raw Root=HKLM Key=Software\eProject Name=DataSource / /Property 2 - Upgrade / overwright existing installation I'm getting a bit confused about this. I was previously using the freeware AdvancedInstaller to build by MSI http://www.advancedinstaller.com/ . There was a simple tick box in the editor that meant the MSI file created would automatically upgrade older versions of the product already installed. How can I achieve this in WiX? I am happy for every minor upgrade to be treated as a major upgrade but I can't get past the MSI detecting that another version of the product is already installed.

Re: [WiX-users] FileSearch doesn't work (Wix 2.0)
Have you checked out https://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detailatid=642714aid=1656236group_id=105970 yet? One trick is to set a property with the folder first and than add a filesearch using that property.

Re: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
To set a default property value use the Value attribute in the Property tag. If the search does not find a value that value should be used.

Re: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
Here is what you need to do to make your install package smart to recognize removing itself if it is already installed. 1. Product tag line, the Id= GUID needs to be Unique each time you build the package (and the version number needs to be incremented each time as well) 2. In the InstallExecuteSequene section, add the following: RemoveExistingProducts After=InstallInitialize / 3. For an Upgrade detection of the product, do something similar to the following where the GUID is the UpgradeCode of your installation Upgrade Id=226F3469-D558-498a-AA7A-AD9072549EF4 UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=no Property=DETECTED IncludeMaximum=yes IncludeMinimum=yes Maximum=1.5.1.2 Minimum=1.5.1.2/ /Upgrade -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RussGreen Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 12:18 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading Hi, I'm new to WiX and have been trying the WiXEdit tool to build an installer.

Re: [WiX-users] IniFile - Getting user input
At which point in the install should I add this though? Should I add this somewhere in my main wxs file with all of my other components? If I were to go about it that way, would I then be able to put the info in an ini file after all of my installation files are copied over? Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'm very new to WiX and I'm still trying to grasp some of the concepts. Thanks for the help.

Re: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
On your Package element I'd change your Id= GUID to be the question
marks so it auto generates each time. Or just change the GUID manually.
Package Id=----
autogenuuid (Simple Type)
Description
Values of this type will look like:
01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF or
{01234567-89AB-CDEF-0123-456789ABCDEF}. A GUID can be auto-generated
by writing all question marks like this:
----. Also allows PUT-GUID-HERE for
use in examples.
Pattern Type
Must match the regular expression:
'[{(]?[0-9A-Fa-f]{8}\-?[0-9A-Fa-f]{4}\-?[0-9A-Fa-f]{4}\-?[0-9A-Fa-f]{4}\
-?[0-9A-Fa-f]{12}[})]?|[{(]?\?{8}\-\?{4}\-\?{4}\-\?{4}\-\?{12}[})]?|PUT\
-GUID\-HERE'.

Re: [WiX-users] How to Browse network path using the BrowseDlg
I use the same control in my installer to allow the user to choose the destination folder. I purposely set Remote=no and Removable=no so they can't install to those locations. But, just out of curiosity, I set them both back to yes and rebuilt my installer. When I get to the dialog with that control the Combo dropdown does show both Removable (floppy A) and Remote (network Z) drives. I did need to map the network drive prior to being able to see it in the combo. It won't show a UNC, which seems obvious enough.

Re: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
Russ, I believe you're possibly missing the fact that (if I remember correctly) Windows Installer only looks as major, minor and revision (fields 1 - 3) when deciding if the version has changed... not the fourth (typically build number) field in the product version information. Check the mailing list archives for confirmation of this feature.

Re: [WiX-users] QFE authoring after service pack release
Thanks Peter and Chad!
I tried option 1. I may be interpreting this wrong, but I tried this
without sucess:
upgradeImage = newMSI (v.2002)
targetImage = rtmMSI (v.1000)
upgradeImage = newMSI (v.2002)
targetImage = sp1MSI (v.2000)
The error I get from msimsp.exe is: UpgradedImages.Upgraded = 'blah':
PackageCode {4E63E3D3-591B-4403-B0D2-8065687CCC61} is not unique.
I cannot find this GUID anywhere. 'blah' is Id the the second UpgradeImage I
specified.
Also, how do I find out more info about the validation bits?
Thanks!

Hello,
So our scenario is this
1) Product RTM'ed (say version 1.0.1000)
2) We created and shipped a service pack 1 (say version 1.0.2000)
3) Now we realize we need to ship a QFE (say version 1.0.2002)
So we created a QFE patch that is basically a diff between versions
1.0.1000 and versions 1.0.2002 -- it tries to update 1 file to version
1.0.2002.
Now this QFE patch works on a machine that only has the RTM version
installed, that 1 binary is updated to version 2002 as expected. On a
machine that has SP1 installed, it simply does nothing! On the verbose log,
it shows that it's trying to update the file to version 2000, since version
2000 is already on the machine, it does nothing.
So my question is, should we author the QFE by diff'ing it to the RTM CD,
or diff'ing it to the SP1 CD?
Thank you for any input!

[WiX-users] vs help integration vsextension usage ?
Hi all, I'd like to integrate my sandcastle generated api documentation into Visual Studio and it seems that the VSExtension in Wix3 supports this. However I cannot seem to get it to compile (let alone work). I'm guessing there's something fundamental I'm missing here. What I've done: - Created the HxS file and think I've managed to create the other Hx? files appropriately. - Added the merge modules HTML_Help_Registration__RTL_X86_---.msm and VSIPCC_Collection_Files_RTL_---_---.msm - rescheduled InstallFinalize later Now I'm down to 2 errors: Error2ICE03: Not a valid foreign key; Table: HelpPlugin, Column: HelpNamespace_Parent, Key(s): MS_VSIPCC_v80.MS_VSCC_v80light.exe0 1Foo.Installer Error3ICE03: Not a valid foreign key; Table: HelpPlugin, Column: HelpNamespace_Parent, Key(s): MS_VSIPCC_v80.MS_VSExpressCC_v80light.exe 01Foo.Installer How do I fix these/successfully install the help files ? The following code is heavily inspired by the Postsharp installer and the following (and no, I don't speak russian so I'm not even sure if that is a question or answer *s*) In case it isn't obvious already the water level above my head is quite high... regards, Simon Component Id=ApiDocComponent Guid=PUT-GUID-HERE !-- Help files -- File Id=Foo.HxS Name=Foo.HxS DiskId=1 Vital=no vs:HelpFile Id=Foo.HxS Name=Foo10/ /File File Id=Foo.Documentation.HxC Name=Foo.Documentation.HxC DiskId=1 Vital=no vs:HelpCollection Id=Foo.Documentation.HxC Name=Foo10 Description=Foo 1.0 Documentation vs:HelpFileRef Id=Foo.HxS/ vs:PlugCollectionInto TableOfContents=Foo.Documentation_Toc.HxT TargetCollection=MS_VSIPCC_v80 TargetTableOfContents=FL_vsipcc_hxt_86880.3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8/ /vs:HelpCollection /File File Id=Foo.Documentation_Toc.HxT Name=Foo.Documentation_Toc.HxT DiskId=1 Vital=no/ File Id=Foo.Documentation_AIndex.HxK Name=Foo.Documentation_AIndex.HxK DiskId=1 Vital=no/ File Id=Foo.Documentation_FIndex.HxK Name=Foo.Documentation_FIndex.HxK DiskId=1 Vital=no/ File Id=Foo.Documentation_KIndex.HxK Name=Foo.Documentation_KIndex.HxK DiskId=1 Vital=no/ File Id=Foo.Documentation_NamedUrls.HxK Name=Foo.Documentation_NamedUrls.HxK DiskId=1 Vital=no/ /Component - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
