[WiX-users] SQL Server version check from WiX without using SQLDMO
On the installer we used SQLDMO to prepopulate the sql servers on the target machine in a combo box and also added logic to avoid stomping a database on an unsupported version of sql server if the user selects an unsupported sql server from the dropdown but we ran into a problem when SQLDMO wasn't returning the correct SQL build version number. The next approach I thought of was to write a SQL select to extract the build version of the SQL Server and assign it to a WiX property which I can evaluate to show a dialog which informs the user of the un-supported SQL Server. I know about SqlString but I need this to run on the click on of a Test Connection button just like a custom action. Is there a way from WiX to assign a property the results set from a SQLString on the click of a button or something like this thread talks about? http://www.nabble.com/SQL-Select-statement-with-an-ampersand-character-won%27t-build.-to3735082.html#a3735082 Thanks, Jacob - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding a custom action (type 6)in a patchpackage(msp)
It's me again. I am still stuck here with my custom action type 6
problem.
I was also looking for the new releases of wix v3 but it seems that they
do not contain any new changes - I tried them, though.
Perhaps somebody could verify my problem whether in using my sample
files from the link I provided a post above or writing a quick example.
It should have a base installation and a patch, which adds a new custom
action vbscript into the binary table.
Help is much appreciated!!
Thanks a lot.
Paul.

I already tried and retried it, but with no success.
Under the following address I uploaded a .zip file containing my .wxs
files and make batch files.
http://rapidshare.com/files/89307445/WixTest.zip.html
http://rapidshare.com/files/89307445/WixTest.zip.html
It would be nice if anybody would try it out and post her/his result.
Make sure to adjust the paths in the batch files (especially in the
torch.exe command line and the -x option!!).
The first batch file uses .wixpdb files for torching and creates a
.wixmst file. Creating the patch with pyro succeeds but the custom
action binary stream is not added in the binary table.
The second batch file uses .msi files for torching and creates a .mst
file. Creating the patch with pyro fails?! There seems to be an encoding
error and I cannot get this running.
But if you use orca and 'apply' the .mst file on the WixSample.msi you
will see that the binary stream for the custom action is added.
Help is as always much appreciated.
If you already received a similar email, then please excuse me I tried
attaching the zip file directly with my post.
Kind regards,
Paul.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Adding a custom action (type 6) in
apatchpackage(msp)
Now I tried using torch.exe with .msi files instead of .wixpdb files to
generate a .mst file.
Looking into the .mst file I clearly can see the content of my custom
action in binary form. Using orca I can verify that this transform adds
a new row into the binary table.
When I edit my .wixmst file (using the .wixpdbs) there I find the
following line:
row op=add sectionId=/{3C6F7936-A1A9-4F37-A6C2-0DC706900E22}
sourceLineNumber=c:\program files\wix
v3\wixtest\1.1\WixMondoSample1.1.wxs*12fieldBinary/fieldfieldSim
pleTest/field/row
If I interpret this right, this line is telling me, that on row should
be added to the binary table - as I want to. So I guessed that pyro.exe
is not applying the transforms as it is supposed to do. Using the -x
option in pyro does not extract my custom action's binaries, too.
I also tried using the -x option in torch but I got only binaries
extracted when I use .msi files and not .wixpdb files. For the upgraded
image I can extract my custom action vbscript file.
Another possible bug I noticed: If I use pyro with a .mst file I receive
the following error message:
'error PYRO0104 : Not a valid output file; detail: Invalid character in
the given encoding. Line 1, position 1.'
I could not find any information on this error.
Kind regards,
Paul.

Hello, Alexander,
you are right, the '/' was a mistake, but this was only a typo in my
mail. We do not get any error messages from light or candle, etc.
We tested a little bit more and came to the conclusion, that using the
pcp file the custom action type 6 ALWAYS work - even
without editing the pcp binary table with orca(this was a mistake on our
side).
But if we try the 'only wix' way using torch and pyro we get the
following error message during installation of our msp package:
DEBUG: Error 2721: Custom action SimpleTest not found in Binary table
stream
It seems that the created diff.wixmst or something else is not correct.
We used the same commandline arguments as in the wix help file.
Perhaps you still have an idea. Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Paul.

[WiX-users] Property set by CA and used in a Condition

Is it really not possible to include all files in the source distribution so that building wix can be automated in a production environment? *why* do you need to build WIX in a production environment? /Simon - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] WiXv3 (3808): error LGHT0204
What does this error mean: c:\tmp\vqbjy0iu\Libs_file.msi : error LGHT0204 : ICE39: PID_WORDCOUNT value in Summary Information Stream is not valid. Source image flags must be 0, 1, 2, or 3. ? Generally, msi file has been created and installation is going correctly, but it is interesting because of that error... Thanks for any information.

Re: [WiX-users] building wix
Why not just go to CodePlex?The TFS/MSBuild model kills the CVS/NAnt model, IMHO. I know you guys said you had some issues building unmanaged code but surely it can't be that bad.

Yeah, sorry, I just noticed this problem last weekend. You can comment out every include of .build files from the tests directory and it'll work.
