Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut Targets and Shared Components
I don't see a problem with what you've done, but I haven't tried it or tested it. Did you run the ICE suite and ensure that your solution didn't generate new ICE errors or warnings? I did not receive any additional ICE errors or warnings. I was able to compile an msi and it all worked. My shortcut now get installed when either of the features, including it gets installed. What I have now is two entries in the Shortcut table. Thanks for the information, though.

Re: [WiX-users] set %PATH%
Jason, Would you happen to be checking the path on an existing command line window, or have you opened a new one? The path of existing command line windows does not change when the system is updated (there isn't really any good way to do this, since the user could have changed the path already in the command line window, so overwriting it with the windows path on changes would be unpleasant user experience). If you right click on my computer and choose settings, then go to environment variables on the advanced tab, does the PATH have your changes? If so, your install worked and you just 'checked' it wrong.

[WiX-users] Operating System language detection
Does anyone know hoe to determin the language of the operating system? I'm aware that the MSI Engine stores the locale, which you can configure in the control panel. However, there must be something deeper as some of Microsoft's KB updates (xmllite WIC, for example) seem to fail if the OS is of the wrong language above and beyoond the user configurable options within the Control Panel. So, what might these packages be detecting? I've tried using regmon to determin any locale ID's being read somewhere that I'm not familiar with, but so far no joy. Any recommendations are welcom.

[WiX-users] COM+ Application Setup Identity Problem
Hi,
I'm using WiX and the pca extensions to install a COM+ Application and would
like to set the COM+ Application to run under the 'Local System' identity.
I've tried using the 'Identity' attribute (I assume thats its intention) on
the ComPlusApplication element but can't seem to alter the Identity from the
defaulted value.
I've tried...
Identity=.\LocalSystem
Identity={MACHINENAME}\LocalSystem
Identity=LocalSystem
Identity=Local System
The help on the Identity attribute is a little vague.

We use VMWare. What we were doing was using an AutoIt script to automate a process on the host PC that reset the VM and entered mouse clicks and keypresses into the guest VM machine. That launched an automated script on the guest machine to perform the install/upgrade and report back the success. It was kinda clunky, but it worked fairly reliably. At that time, VMWare didn't have any API exposing the ability to control the guest machines from the host machine. I think they have something like that now, but we never investigated it further.

[WiX-users] Cannot install VC80 Runtime from VS2005 SP1 on Vista and Vista only
Hi all, Installing the runtime from VS2005 SP1 using the merge module (yes, correct version) does NOT work on Vista while it works *perfectly* on 2003 server - both clean installs of the respective OS. Both OSes need the runtime installed for the program to run. The install log on Vista indicates that the merge module dlls are being installed into a null directory. It just says that the dlls are installed in Directory: , Then trying to start the application produces an error that the runtime is not available. The Directory is listed using the same MSI file on 2003 server installation. Tried WiX 2.x and 3.x and same results. Used WiX binary distribution. I have created a very small program (one line command line) that shows this problem. You may download it temporarily from: http://www.zombino.com/temp/source.zip There is also an MSI of the binaries also available (2.2M) http://www.zombino.com/temp/test.msi If you cannot be troubled to extract the 1K source.zip, the files to the sources code in the zip file are: http://www.zombino.com/temp/source/main.cpp http://www.zombino.com/temp/source/main.wxs http://www.zombino.com/temp/source/Makefile You may need to adjust your paths to compile the example. The test is installed under Test of Program Files. Any ideas why Vista install is crapping out? - Adam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] COM+ Application Setup Identity Problem
After a long pile of digging through the source, I have discovered that the
COM+ custom actions basically just manipulate members of the ICatalogObject
interface. So, when you specify the Identity attribute, that sets the
Identity property of the Application object in the Applications collection
by calling ICatalogObject::put_Value.
This means that the valid values for Identity are as per the documentation
at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686107.aspx#_cos_applications_ide
ntity. I think the restriction on Windows Server 2003 only for using these
other accounts is simply that Windows 2000 didn't support it, although XP
SP2 appears to. The screenshot in my copy of Transactional COM+, from
Windows 2000, doesn't have the various radio buttons under System Accounts
that XP has.
Richard is right that Local System is far too privileged. You should
consider using Local Service, if you don't need network credentials, or
Network Service (authenticates as the machine account in the domain), if you
do.

[WiX-users] custom action executing managed executables
Dear all, I read robmen's article on managed custom actions. I have an installer type activity to execute that I must do during installation (installing performance counters). You need to be admin to do that, so I have to run it within the installation. We want to execute the InstallPerfCounters.exe with a CA, which works easily with a CustomAction. Unfortunately you don't get any feedback except success and failure. I'd like InstallPerfCounters.exe to log back. So I thought of a simple solution: implement a C++ custom action that spawns InstallPerfCounters.exe, hooks up to its stdout and logs all lines into the MSI log using the MSI API. Thus anything that InstallPerfCounters.exe outputs will appear in the log. Has anyone done something like this? Is this a good/bad/crazy idea? Thx dB. Daniel Doubrovkine (dB.)

Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3 Sql Extension not executing SqlScript
Just a quick bit of extra info on WiX version numbers: The first two digits of the Build part (major.minor.build.revision) are the 'project month number'. I think for WiX 3.0 this started at 10 and has incremented every month since. The second two digits are the day within the month. WiX 3.0 is still in a state of flux and hasn't been through stabilisation. Almost anything is allowed to change. Serious bugs may be fixed, but those fixes may introduce serious bugs of their own. The code may be reorganized and in the process, broken. Take your choice - latest feature set, or stabilized code? For the latter, choose v2. The latest builds can always be found at http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases. There's a build approximately every week, or more frequently if there's a serious regression, but it's as and when Rob and the other maintainers release one. If a feature doesn't work for you, try the build before or after. Particularly stable builds are placed on the main SourceForge project page at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105970package_id=1688 88 after they've bedded down a little. You can see from these sites that the most recent build, 3419, was released last week on the 19th of October, and is about five months newer than the build you're currently working with, which is the latest on the SourceForge project page. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of EdB Sent: 18 October 2007 01:20 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3 Sql Extension not executing SqlScript I am able to use these elements successfully with 3.0.3328.0.

Re: [WiX-users] Operating System language detection
The latest documentation I'm using - which accompanied VS2005 (must update this...) says that for GetSystemDefaultLangID, [t]he return value is the language identifier of the system locale. Which I think means it's the result of using the LANGIDFROMLCID macro on the return value of GetSystemDefaultLCID. That value is the system default locale identifier, which can be changed by the user on the Advanced tab of Regional and Language Options (in Windows XP and Server 2003), where it is called 'Language for non-Unicode programs'. See for example http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2005/03/25/402313.aspx for what GetSystemDefaultUILanguage is, and http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2005/04/08/406413.aspx for what all the other 'defaults' are. And see also http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/localetable.mspx for all the meanings of 'locale'.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3 Sql Extension not executing SqlScript
Amy, Our DB installation process originally specified the SQL instance by name regardless of it being the default instance or not. We discovered that if we named the default instance (MSSQLSERVER) DB creation would fail with unknown error after 10-15 minutes of churning along. Changing our process to only use an instance name if it is non-default allows our db build to work correctly. We don't use the filespec elements (default names are fine for us) so there may be something not working with those that is impacting you. You could try removing more elements and attributes and see if allowing default values to be used helps this. Amy Rosewater wrote: I tried removing the additional attributes, and still the same result. Nothing gets executed against the database when a SqlScript node is present (even if it does not appear under the SqlDatabase node) except a preliminary check to see if a database with my name exists.

Re: [WiX-users] custom action executing managed executables
WiX includes functionality to call the LoadPerfCounterTextStrings and UnloadPerfCounterTextStrings APIs and create the registry entries required. See the PerformanceCategory and PerformanceCounter elements in the Util schema. This feature is new in WiX v3.0. If still using WiX 2.0, you can instead specify an INI file which contains the counter information, which in turn includes a header file which defines the order of the names. This is in fact what .NET does internally when you call PerformanceCounterCategory.Create - it's the only supported method of doing it - but they have failed to provide a way to export the INI and header files, such as you might need to do if, I don't know, you were building an installer! .NET actually runs the lodctr.exe program, which has shipped with Windows since at least Windows 2000 I believe (it might have been a resource kit tool in NT 4.0, it certainly was before that), whereas WiX currently calls the APIs which were only added in Windows 2000. If you want to build a horrible hack tool using reflection g, see System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CreateSymbolFile and CreateIniFile in System.dll. Sadly PerformanceCounterLib is declared 'internal' while both methods are declared 'private', that's why you'd have to use reflection. You'd also have to add the required registry entries yourself, see the CreateRegistryEntry method for what needs to be added. Still, I'd much prefer doing this than some messy managed custom action lashup. Or you could simply see the code in src\ext\UtilExtension\wixext\UtilCompiler.cs from WiX v3.0 in the ParsePerformanceCategoryElement method. -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Doubrovkine Sent: 22 October 2007 22:30 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] custom action executing managed executables Dear all, I read robmen's article on managed custom actions.

[WiX-users] Files not compressed aren't staged correctly
I just changed two of my installers to not compress any files. It builds fine. The MSI itself is at the top most level. However, with one of the two MSIs almost all of the files are also at the topmost level rather than being in their respective subfolders. The files are being picked up from the proper subfolders, they just don't end up in similar subfolders under the MSI. Can anyone think of a reason this might happen? Using WiX 2.0.5325.0. I have not run across this before. I actually changed two installers today and while one behaves as expected, putting each file in the relative subfolder under the resulting MSI, the other installer doesn't behave the same.

[WiX-users] A better TALLOW - PARAFFIN
Hello, As you all know, Tallow for WiX 2.0 can be a bit, how shall we say it, troublesome. :) I developed a better tool, PARAFFIN, which creates an easier to use WiX fragment and also handles updating the WiX fragment as files are added and removed from your directories. It's turned the hours and hours of manual WiX fragment editing down to minutes a day for me. I thought you all might find it useful. (Note that using PARAFFIN can break component rules so be careful.) Here's the links to the discussion and the code: http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/10/18/wix-hints -for-new-users-part-1-of-3.aspx http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/10/19/wix-the-p ain-of-wix-part-2-of-3.aspx http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/10/21/wix-a-bet ter-tallow-paraffin.aspx Please let me know if you find any bugs or have feature requests.
