Re: [WiX-users] HI WIX 3.0 FileShare question
What does your wix file look like? FileShare uses the component's directory. If you want to use different drives for the fileshares your Directory structure must be correct. How do you get those E:\.. and D:\.. folders on the target system?

[WiX-users] Shortcut Targets and Shared Components
Hello all, I was just wondering if the was a bug or not: So I have a component (in a separate fragment) that installs a file and adds a shortcut on the Program Menu. That component is used in 2 features. However, when I open the compiled msi file in Orca and look at the Shortcut Table, only ONE feature is listed as the target (what it looks like is that it is the last feature to include the component). So what happens is that if the first feature is selected, BUT NOT the second, the files get installed but the shortcut does not. What I had to do to rectify this is to create two additional components that install the same shortcut - One that creates the shortcut for the first feature. And, one that creates the same shortcut for the second feature. That way I get the two entries in my Shortcut table. One for the first feature and one for the second. My questions are: 1. Is the a bug or just the way it works? 2. Is this the best way to solve the problem? Thanks. image001.jpgBEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 X-MS-SIGNATURE:YES N;LANGUAGE=en-us:Priest;Robert;S.;;Jr. FN:Robert S.

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with copy file
According to the Wix Documentation DestinationProperty String Set this value to a property that will have a value that resolves to the full path of the destination directory. The property does not have to exist in the installer database at creation time; it could be created at installation time by a custom action, on the command line, etc. This attribute cannot be specified in conjunction with DestinationDirectory.

Yep... definitely shouldn't be moving built-in files like msbuild.exe. Lots of bad things can happen as most of those sorts of tools assume they are in a particular location when you're using them.

Re: [WiX-users] Path to MSI?
The OriginalDatabase is sometimes a reasonable alternative, but it has its own pitfalls too. The key issue is whether you want it in all circumstances (uninstall, repair, modify) or only at first install. In particular, OriginalDatabase works before any implicit ResolveSource in the first install.

Re: [WiX-users] HI WIX 3.0 FileShare question
I'm not sure if this works, but give it a try:
You can create a new Directory element:
Directory Name=[BLA]
Component
FileShare...
.../
and call the msi (using msiexec) with the parameter BLA=D:\Share1
The location of the new Directory may be anywhere as the BLA property
is passed with a full path.

This creates the share folder inside [INSTALLLATIONDIR], while
taking this share-folder section outside but inside the logical
Directory (the outmost directory), then it creates the file-share
in the root directory of the drive where the product is been
installed.
But I want to create the file-share in the different drives like D:
\Share1 or E:\Share2 , (they are passed as parameter (Property) to
MSI. If the physical directory for the share in the target drive
does not exist, I want to create it, FYI: they all exists in the
same machine.)
I am trying to find out the way to do it using FileShare element of
WIX 3.0, Can I perform this using the FileShare element? Or I need
to use some scripting command (i.e. using xcacls.vbs) in a custom
action.
I would appreciate any clue.
Thank you,

What does your wix file look like?
FileShare uses the component's directory. If you want to use
different drives for the fileshares your Directory structure must
be correct. How do you get those E:\.. and D:\.. folders on the
target system?

This creates the share folder inside [INSTALLLATIONDIR], while taking this
share-folder section outside but inside the logical Directory (the outmost
directory), then it creates the file-share in the root directory of the drive
where the product is been installed.
But I want to create the file-share in the different drives like D:\Share1 or
E:\Share2 , (they are passed as parameter (Property) to MSI. If the physical
directory for the share in the target drive does not exist, I want to create
it, FYI: they all exists in the same machine.)
I am trying to find out the way to do it using FileShare element of WIX 3.0,
Can I perform this using the FileShare element? Or I need to use some scripting
command (i.e. using xcacls.vbs) in a custom action.
I would appreciate any clue.
Thank you,
-Krishna

What does your wix file look like?
FileShare uses the component's directory. If you want to use
different drives for the fileshares your Directory structure must
be correct. How do you get those E:\.. and D:\.. folders on the
target system?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Actions.
Hi Dana, The custom Action i'm calling, actually gets a list of files with an extension of .DIN .DSE from the directory where our product has been installed to. These define the Keyboard for our application, and a session file, the user can change these during the install, this is why it is in a custom action and not through the .MSI. but because it get's the the list of files from where the installer has just installed the files to, it does need to have the INSTALLDIR parsed to it. I'm reverse engineering an InstallShield installer because our company wishes to move away from that and have our overnight build machine automatically build the installers, so the WiX system is great for that, if I can get this working anyway. the main issue is I'm reverse engineering something that was thrown together very quickly with limited time. anyway, if the command I'm using is correct to parse the information then I will try and look elsewhere for the issue, it's just this does work on the old (installshield) installer using an MSI.

Re: [WiX-users] HI WIX 3.0 FileShare question
This is what I was trying but it didn't work. It creates the physical folder
named [BLA] in the InstalledDIR and creates the file-share on it. It does not
create the D:\Share1 folder but creates a folder named [BLA].
Thanks,

I'm not sure if this works, but give it a try:
You can create a new Directory element:
Directory Name=[BLA]
Component
FileShare...
.../
and call the msi (using msiexec) with the parameter BLA=D:\Share1
The location of the new Directory may be anywhere as the BLA property
is passed with a full path.

[WiX-users] FilePath manipulation in WIX
Hi, I can do a registrysearch and obtain a path like : D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\ADDINS\OTKLOADR.DLL Once I have this path I want to split it in directory (D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\ADDINS) and file (OTKLOADR.DLL) and then use it in directorysearch and filesearch to finally see if the given dll has the required version.
