[WiX-users] Upgrade versions and letters
Hi, I want to know how WIX 3.0 will handle version numbers like 1.0a or 1.a. While comparing for an upgrade following should be true 1.0 1.a 1.0 1.0a 1.1 1.a 1.b 1.a 1.0b 1.0a Is it possible? Does WIX have support for letters in versions - Nitin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] Shorcuts between components
Is it possible to create a shortcut in one component, that will reference to an executable which is located in another component? We have an executable used by all our applications, but is running with different command line arguments for each component. So I want the executable to be placed in a single components and to create the shortcuts from all the other components. How can I achieve that? Dror, You can set the shortcut target to be any file that is installed using its ID with a '#' prefix, e.g. Component Id=MyShortcut Guid=... Shortcut Id=MyApp.Shortcut Name=My Application Target=[#myapp.exe] Directory=DesktopFolder Show=normal / /Component However, you might get warnings if the two components are not part of the same feature.

[WiX-users] Upgrading
Hi guys Ive read alot of other posts regarding upgrading but ive yet to find any information relavent to my situation, so if anyone knows of any threads and have the links to them then please post. Here is what i want to do I need my MSI to check for an existing install of the software ie. 5.2.1, now it does this fine, however i also need it to check for the existing directory and then pass that information to a variable that the installer then sets the installer to install to. Basically i need the upgrade to install to the directory that the previous installation resides in?

Re: [WiX-users] Disk Usage dialog values
There are multiple features, and some of them are hidden, but there is only one top-level feature, which is the one that shows 68 MB in the selection tree. Also, when I perform an admin install, I only get 68 MB of files installed. Maybe Windows Installer is accounting for the temporary space required to handle rollback? -Brian Simoneau From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2007 2:52 PM To: Brian Simoneau Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Disk Usage dialog values Brian Simoneau wrote: Where does the disk usage dialog get the values to put into the table?

Re: [WiX-users] Disk Usage dialog values
Probably. Perhaps the cost is the result of the things mentioned at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_installer, in the Disadvantages/Large footprint section at the bottom of the article. 2007/11/5, Brian Simoneau [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There are multiple features, and some of them are hidden, but there is only one top-level feature, which is the one that shows 68 MB in the selection tree.

[WiX-users] Questions about WIX.
I have following questions about WIX: 1) To create an installer using WIX, does a person need to know XML? 2) What is a tool called tallow? 3) Does a person need to know Windows Installer fundamentals/ concepts very well? To use InstallShield, it is not required. 4) Does one need to use bootstrapper/ chainer to install dependency software, e.g. adobe reader, or dotnet during product installation? Is there any alternate way? 5) Are there any tools/ features missing as compared to InstallShield?

[WiX-users] Advertised feature install starting
I've got some machines that after a minor upgrade, unprivileged users unexpectedly get MSI launching a dialog saying that the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Administrators do not see the message. The installer was run as Administrator. I assume it is because some features have been installed as Advertised rather than Local. In my installer however, I have marked all my features with AllowAdvertise=no, so The bootstrapper has since deleted the .msi and .cab files - if I put them where MSI is looking for them (in Administrator's temp directory) then everything works from then on. Does anybody have any ideas why this might be happening or how I might go about tracking it down? I don't even know which feature it is that is being looked for, since the installer starts while the application is running, not right at the start.

Re: [WiX-users] iis:WebServiceExtension. What am I doing wrong?
Robert, That apparently is to register Web Application Extentions, something I am already doing in my install to register a new extention type our app requires. The Issue I am having is that when we install .Net Framework 2.0udner iis 6 as part of the install, then by default ASP.Net 2.0 Web Service Extentions are disabled.

[WiX-users] Uninstalling WinSxS in Vista
I've run into an issue with Vista where the side by side assemblies installed to WinSxS do not get removed when the uninstaller is run. I found the a href=https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=260142;Microsoft Connect Issue 260142/a which seems to indicate that it is normal behavior for the WinSxS files in Vista to stick around and be deleted at some later unspecified time. I think the uninstaller is working properly because AssemblyUnpublish is being called, but I have no way to be sure since the files never seem to be removed. The computer i'm testing it on now had the uninstaller run four or five days ago and has been rebooted several times since then and the files are still there. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so have you figured out any way how to deal with it? Is there somewhere that can be checked that will indicate that the files are indeed marked for deletion and possible when that deletion is scheduled for? Or a way to force the cleanup to happen? (Either as part of the uninstall process or at some later date.) Thanks for the help! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] 2 WiX questions
Windows Installer is an ANSI (byte-oriented character set) technology so any scripts which are Unicode-only won't work. The list of supported ANSI codepages can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/WinCP.mspx. Hindi uses the Devanagari script. There is a 'Code Page 57002' for Devanagari but I believe this is only supported by MultiByteToWideChar/WideCharToMultiByte, you cannot actually set it as the script to use in a call to CreateFont, which I think is how the GDI ANSI text APIs determine what glyphs to draw for a given input. I'm afraid I think Hindi is not do-able. You'd probably have to use an external UI handler. The EULA is fine because the Windows Installer ScrollableText control is actually a RichEdit control, and that control can handle being presented with Unicode RTF data and can perform the composition required to show Devanagari properly. For Hebrew you should be OK with the 1255 codepage. To set the package's codepage for strings, use the Product/@Codepage attribute. Package/@SummaryCodepage is only for the summary information stream. Alternatively you can use WixLocalization/@Codepage, which actually overrides the product's codepage. Specifying 0, or no value, would I think get you a package using the current system ANSI code page (a.k.a. 'Language for non-Unicode Programs'). The WiX-supplied .wxl files do not specify a Codepage attribute. You may well find that the (presumably Simplified?) Chinese .wxl file does set Codepage, to 936. 0x380 is the correct value for setting in the Dialog table, not the Control table. For the Control table it's 0xE0. I believe that the Dialog value overrides the Control value. You can set this in a WiX Dialog element by setting the RightToLeft, RightAligned and LeftScroll attributes to 'yes'. I don't think WiX 2.0 allows these bits to be overridden for the standard dialog set, so I think you'd have to do a copy and paste. -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pat Higgins Sent: 05 November 2007 21:29 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] 2 WiX questions Hi My team started using WiX only this year, they're creating patches for a product I'm localising the patches, however I'm having problems for: * Hindi Hebrew - the patch gets created but all the characters are corrupted. All I see are ?? Where there should be Hindi or Hebrew text. I thought it might be a font issue so replaced Tahoma with Mangal (used in our Eula which does display ok - this is for Hindi) but it made no difference. We are using the standard WiX library so all our dialogs etc are not defined by us. The strange thing is no other language has this problem displaying characters - Chinese etc, all display fine. Any advice on displaying Hindi Hebrew char's or does WiX even support them? Maybe I need WiX 3? * Arabic - the text itself displays fine, however getting it to display Right to Left is a bit more problematic. If I change the Attributes value (generally 3 but not always) in the MSI (control table) by adding hex 380 to it, I can reverse the text however I get a type of box around the text. Even if I get the value correct, I'll have to run a query to change all the text in the MSI because the dialogs are coming from the WiX library - is there a better way of making a BiDi MSI? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] Re ferring to Icon in an exe - How is it done?
For the Icon element, you are providing the path to the file on your local computer so that WiX can place the whole file in a binary stream in the MSI. For advertised products, you should make a resource-only DLL (which satisfies the requirement for it being PE format) which only contains the icons. You then set the extension of Icon/@Id to the filename extension that you're going to use these icons for. You can have multiple icons in the same binary used by a single Icon element if they share the same filename extension. Use Shortcut/@IconIndex to indicate which icon is to be used. You should _not_ use your actual program EXE in the Icon element, nor anything you're not supposed to redistribute, including any part of Windows itself. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cryptonomicon Sent: 05 November 2007 23:49 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Re ferring to Icon in an exe - How is it done?
