[WiX-users] Killing a task on Windows 2000 and WinXP

2007-11-30 Thread V K Gangwar
Hello,

I want to kill a task on both WinXP and Win2000. I wrote custom action for 
that. Using custom action i am invoking taskkill.exe command. But my problem is 
winXP has taskkill.exe in system folder win2000 doesn't. Win2000 has kill.exe.

How I can manage this situation. 


Thanks 
Veerendra

Re: [WiX-users] Handling Feature Dependencies

2007-11-30 Thread Robert.Priest
Okay. So what if  the hidden fC actually contains a merge module
(meaning, a MergeRef / element)? But I still don't want fC displayed
in the interface anywhere.  AFAIK, ComponentGroupRefs do not contain
MergeRefs.

 

Should I make fC an sub-Feature of fA and fB? Will it still be hidden
from the interface if I do that?

However, in hindsight, I think just using a ComponentGroupRef instead of
feature fC and including it in both fA and fB might be simpler and more
robust. Not sure what the relative downsides are.


If the feature was used just for grouping (i.e., it's never visible or
user installable) then a component group is the best approach.
Components can belong to multiple features just fine -- that's an MSI
thing.

Re: [WiX-users] MSCONFIG shows unknown for service manufacturer

2007-11-30 Thread Wilson, Phil
Look again at my previous post - my vote is for an issue with msconfig.
Look at the service paths for services where it doesn't work and I bet
they have quoted paths. The ones that work fine do not have quoted
paths. Windows Installer starting quoting service paths relatively
recently.  Your command line install doesn't quote the service path.
When it's quoted msconfig apparently can fail to get the path to the
executable properly to get the version info.

 There is very little doubt in my mind that msconfig is getting the
 company name from the resources of the code file (in the cases where  
 it
 gets it right). For just one example, look at what msconfig says about
 the Logical Disk Administrator Service, and then look at the company
 name in the actual service code file.  Not only that, but there are no
 Service-oriented APIs or registry entries about Services that let you
 specify the company name.=20

I completely agree with you that msconfig is supposed to grab the  
company name from the resources of the code file; the point of my post  
is that it's not doing that when I install the service through the  
ServiceInstall table. It only displays the company name if the service  
is self-registered from the command-line.

I would assume that MSI invokes the CreateService API for entries in  
the ServiceInstall table, just as the self-registering code does, so  
I'm confused as to why it doesn't work.

[WiX-users] Installation Deployment via Group Policy (GPO)

2007-11-30 Thread Huseyin Tufekcilerli
Hello,

I am trying to deploy a sample MSI package which simply installs a
text file to Program Files folder. The setup runs just fine if you run
it through double-clicking or via msiexec /i package.msi command line
interface (with the current user is being an administrator on that
computer). Then I have created a GPO for the domain that the computer
resides and added the MSI package as an Assignment to that user. So
when that user, who is a local admin on that computer, logins the
computer; the installation is deployed to that computer just fine. But
whenever I have removed that user's local admin privileges the MSI
package can not be deployed with these event log error records:

1)
Source  : Userenv
Event ID  : 1085
User  : NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Description: The Group Policy client-side extension Software
Installation failed to execute. Please look for any errors reported
earlier by that extension.
2)
Source  : Application Management
Event ID  : 108
User  : DOMAIN\user.name
Description: Failed to apply changes to software installation
settings.  Software changes could not be applied.  A previous log
entry with details should exist.  The error was : Access is denied.
3)
Source  : Application Management
Event ID  : 103
User  : DOMAIN \user.name
Description: The removal of the assignment of application
{OurProductName} from policy {OurGroupPolicyName} failed.  The error
was : The system cannot find the file specified.

4)
Source  : Application Management
Event ID  : 101
User  : DOMAIN \user.name
Description: The assignment of application {OurProductName}
from policy {OurGroupPolicyName} failed.  The error was : Access is
denied.


In a nutshell, both (manual and GPO-deployed) installations fail if
the running user is not an admin. Since a GPO-deployed installation is
granted by a domain administrator, I think there must be an option to
run that installation as a privileged user during a non-privileged
user's login.

Any help/pointer would be greately appreciated.

Hüseyin.

[WiX-users] subset of compluscomponents

2007-11-30 Thread Tobias Holm
Hi all!

 

I have received a com .dll (Server.dll) that I need to build an installer
for. 

 

There are 2 main requirements on the Installer:

1.   It should make the same registry entries as if running regsvr32 on
the dll.

2.   It should create a COM+ application for the dll and place a subset
of its classes as components in the application.

 

The first requirement was not hard to meet. I just used tallow to capture
the reg-entries for the dll. This part works fine when I run the installer.

The second reuirement was a bit harder to figure out. Right now I use the
PUBCA extension to set up the com+ part. 

Server.dll consists of 10 classes, but only classes 1-3 should be created as
components in the com+ application.

 

My wix markup:

 

Component Id=component418 DiskId=1
Guid=358E0BE2-86B2-4A23-8856-A692567BDC31

   File Id=file466 Name=SERVER_1.DLL LongName=Server.dll
KeyPath=yes Source=X:\My\Path\ToDLL\Server.dll /

  pca:ComPlusApplication Id=MyCOM Name=MyServer
ApplicationAccessChecksEnabled=no

 pca:ComPlusAssembly Id=MyComPlusAssembly Type=native
DllPath=[#file466]

pca:ComPlusComponent Id=MyFirstClass
CLSID=3FCE151B-C805-4AAD-A7B7-2B87F0F59CA9 /

 pca:ComPlusComponent Id=MySecondClass
CLSID=3FCE151B-C805-4AAD-A7B7-2B87F0F59CA9 /

 pca:ComPlusComponent Id=MyThirdClass
CLSID=3FCE151B-C805-4AAD-A7B7-2B87F0F59CA9 /

 /pca:ComPlusAssembly

  /pca:ComPlusApplication

   

  Registry Root=HKCR . registry entries below

  

/Component

 

This creates a an application, but all 10 of my classes are added as
components. I thought that only the ComPlusComponents that I defined would
be added. Is this correct? 

Btw Im using wix v2.  

 

Regards 

 

Tobias

 You're installing the files so they're not deleted after the drivers are 
 installed. That's how MSI and Difx work.

 Yes. Get a verbose log (msiexec /l*vx) and look for LUA to see what 
 MSI is deciding about the need to elevate.

 2) Somehow I am creating a per-user / hybrid install, will creating a 
 shortcut under program files do this?
   

 See the ALLUSERS property doc. You want to set it to 1.

Something that might come handy:

The package can be also deployed as a per machine installation, and after

 from policy {OurGroupPolicyName} failed.  The error was : Access is

 In a nutshell, both (manual and GPO-deployed) installations fail if
 the running user is not an admin. Since a GPO-deployed installation is
 granted by a domain administrator, I think there must be an option to
 run that installation as a privileged user during a non-privileged
 user's login.

 Any help/pointer would be greately appreciated.

[WiX-users] WiX Patches

2007-11-30 Thread Liam Walsh

I'm using WiX patches to patch an installation of our suite of products. This
has gone well except 2 products in the suite have not been patched (even
though there have been changes to them). Any ideas as to what this could be?
