WIXv3 Current Build produces MSI v3.1. Does WIXv3 in future produce MSI v4.0? OR WIXv4 produces MSI v4.0? WiX lets you target whatever version of MSI you're interested in, down to MSI 1.0. See Package/@InstallerVersion. When will WIXv3 development completes? When is it going to release candidate phase only very few fixes are taken? It will likely reach that stage sometime in 2008. There are no more breaking changes planned, but they are possible. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.0 post 3304 working for anyone?
Whenever I run a tool in version 3307, 3328 or 3419 builds obtained from wix.sourceforge.net/releases, I get a System.IO.FileLoadException This suggests that the public key token of wix.dll isn't what candle.exe is asking for. Loading the files into Reflector (www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet) shows that wix.dll has a public key token of 9f4be179981a58d1. Is this working for anyone else? I can't imagine how it could be, but before I put a bug in the tracker I wanted to be sure. Mike, The wix.dll in the Wix3 MSI is OK however - it is just the one in the binaries.zip that has the wrong key. I've installed 3419 and it works fine. regards, John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] Dynamic checkbox initialization problem
...I must admit I'm a bit late with this reply, but still I think the problem persists. To be more specific, I include some snippets here. Things go on the same way when I try to show/hide the control or affect the initial value of it. Here's only the show/hide part, as I'm specifically interested in that - why can't I get it work? First, I initialize a global property with Property Id=EXITDIALOGONCLOSEACTIONAPPLYCONTROLSHOW Value=1 / The checkbox is in my custom UI, on the exit dialog: Control Type=CheckBox Width=206 Height=13 X=158 Y=214 Id=ExitDialogOnCloseActionApplyControl Text=[EXITDIALOGONCLOSEAPPLYCONTROL_TEXT] CheckBoxValue=1 Property=EXITDIALOGONCLOSEACTIONAPPLY Condition Action=showEXITDIALOGONCLOSEACTIONAPPLYCONTROLSHOW=1/Condition Condition Action=hideEXITDIALOGONCLOSEACTIONAPPLYCONTROLSHOW lt;gt;1/Condition /Control For the sake of a simplicity, I try to hide it with a simple custom action: CustomAction Id=TestAction Script=vbscript Session.Property(EXITDIALOGONCLOSEACTIONAPPLYCONTROLSHOW) = /CustomAction Sequenced as Custom Action=TestAction Sequence=2 / It does the modification (checked with MsgBox), and so on. It still has no effect, while changing the property value in the property element works appropriately. Why? 2007/10/27, János Brezniczky [EMAIL PROTECTED]: First of all, thank you for answering.. my problem is that the checkboxsticks to the value provided long before the script runs, no matter what value I provide, and if I don't specify one, it remains unchecked because of the default 'empty' value of the property. It seems to be immune to whatever I do, but I'll retry again, and give a feedback. Thanks till that time! 2007/10/27, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED]: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] , =?ISO-8859-1?Q?J=E1nos_Brezniczky?= [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does anyone know a way to accomplish the initialization I'm stuck with? What am I overlooking? Check boxes toggle the property value between empty and whatever ends up listed in the CheckBox table (WiX has an attribute that specifies this value in the control element, IIRC). If you initialize the property to some other value, I don't think the checkbox will be checked properly. -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html Legalize Adulthood! http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Crystal Reports modules not registering files
Hi, I'm fairly new to wix, and I'm trying to deploy the Crystal Reports runtime with my application. I'm inserting the crystal modules as shown here: http://pastebin.com/f286f6c04 The problem is that although the Crystal Reports files are copied to the right directories in the target machine, some or most files are not registered. Tried to create a setup project using Visual Studio 2005, and added the modules to the project, and there, everything works fine, with all files being registered. So I think the problem is with my wix source files. Could someone please give me some tips? I'm getting lost here. Thanks, Pedro Ferreira - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] weekly release 3.0.3429.0 warnings
I just installed the latest weekly release and I see the following issues: When installing the Project Aggregator, it created a folder in the wrong(?) drive. It created a folder IDE with the file ProjectAggregator2.dll on my D drive which is only for data; all apps are installed on C. The D drive has more space so I assume TARGETDIR is D:\ and some folder in the installer is not set correctly? In any case, where should I put this folder and file, I don't want it dangling with my data. Also, I get the following warnings on a perfectly fine installer project (i.e., it compiled fine before): 1C:\delivery\Dev\wix_public\src\ext\uiextension\wixlib\ResumeDlg.wxs(17,0): Warning LGHT1076: ICE45: Row 'ResumeDlg.Install' in table 'Control' has bits set in the 'Attributes' column that are reserved.

This happens if your MSI requires the original source media for some reason during uninstall. Usually, it's some coding error that causes this problem.

Re: [WiX-users] Trying to preserve installation location
Personally, I would just read the 4 pages in the MSI SDK on Upgrades a few times. I think you only care about Major Upgrades and I think most of hte information is captured in one single page in the SDK. But it is up to you. If you don't like MSI, you won't like WiX since all WiX does is build MSI packages. mscheuner wrote: Rob Mensching-4 wrote: Have you read the MSI SDK about major upgrades? It sounds like you're not using the UpgradeCode to its full potential. In what way?? I haven't read the MSI SDK docs - but I did read Phil Wilson's Definitive Guide to Windows Installer - Chapter 6, on Upgrades. Quite honestly, still sounds pretty Greek to me - I don't like MSI, I think it's overly complicated, and way too much overkill for 90% of all installs. But I have this misbehaving MSI and my boss wants a solution ASAP :-( so I'm trying to struggle through learning as much as I absolutely need to understand what's happening, and trying to figure out the easiest ways to achieve what I need to achieve. Any further hints would be most welcome! My solution now is to store the install location into the registry and reading it from there again when installing a new version (using a major upgrade) since that information seems to survive the major upgrade. Seems and feels a bit like a kludge - but it works ok for now. Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] start and stop services
Sorry, Richard. I apologize. I checked it in Orca. I see that it has the correct name in service control table. Other values are as below: Event=2 Wait=1 Thanks a lot.

If you get an event log message when stopping the service manually, but not when running your MSI, then your service control table is configured wrong. Look at the ServiceControl table with Orca (please don't just post your wix element again, that is not what I am talking about). The name in the ServiceControl table has to be the service name, not its display name. -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html Legalize Adulthood! http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Other values are as below: Event=2 Wait=1 How do you know that the name is correct? For instance, to manipulate the COM remote procedure call service using this table, you must use RPCSS (the name is case insensitive), but if you do net start it will list as Remote Procedure Call (RPC), which is its display name, not its service name. You have to use the service name in the ServiceControl table. -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html Legalize Adulthood! http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It created a folder IDE with the file ProjectAggregator2.dll on my D drive which is only for data; all apps are installed on C. The D drive has more space so I assume TARGETDIR is D:\ and some folder in the installer is not set correctly? That a redistributable from Visual Studio; the only problem I can see would be if it couldn't find your installation of Visual Studio. Also, I get the following warnings on a perfectly fine installer project (i.e., it compiled fine before): I checked in a change to WixUI to properly use the elevation shield on buttons that need it. The .cub file currently flags that bit as reserved and shows the warning. It's a known problem that will be fixed when the next Windows SDK ships. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

You want to look further down in the log for when the script is executed.

Thanks! that explains the exe's but how about the dlls with this issue?
