[WiX-users] Shortcut/@Name does not expand properties?

2008-03-22 Thread Markus Kuehni
Hi 
 
It seems that a shortcut name cannot be varied at install time. Is that
correct? 
 
Thanx for all help,
Mark

[WiX-users] what is the difference between custom ... / and custom ...1/custom

2008-03-22 Thread Xu nanxuan

I've no idea what the 1 located in the middle means? And based on this, i 
came across a phenomenon:
 
when i write 
Custom Action=myAction After=ExecuteAction/, 
the msi can work as i expected, but it will run into end prematurely problem 
when removed (here i mean remove rather than uninstall, if i uninstall it, 
say, from control panel, it will work correctly);
 
however, when i write
Custom Action=myAction After=ExecuteAction1/Custom, all the jobs can 
work well, no premature things occur.
 
So is there anyone give an explanation about that?
Thanks!

 So I don't need to do anything with InstallUISequence/ and Show?
   

Whether you do depends on how you built your UI.

 What would be the syntax to disable showing the dialog? Assume that the
 property set when I find a new version is ALREADYINSTALLED. If this
 property is set to something when an existing version is detected then I
 want to use the registry settings to install rather than the dialog so I
 want to disable the dialog. 

Use a condition of ALREADYINSTALLED to detect when the settings were 
found. Otherwise, use NOT ALREADYINSTALLED.

 I also don't know the syntax for conditionally writing to the registry. 

Like I said before, don't. Write them always. Either they came from the 
UI or they came from the upgrade. If they came from the upgrade, you're 
writing the same values so the effect is the same.

 question, if I always read from the registry (even after a dialog prompt)
 can I be assured that this read will happen before the installation and
 after the uninstall.
   

RegistrySearch is processed during the AppSearch action, which happens 
very early. You can see it in the Install{UI/Execute}Sequence tables.

That's still from the script generation phase. The script execution

It's the condition. 1 means always run. In InstallExecuteSequence, for 
example, omitting the condition also means always run. That's not the 
case in a Publish element in the UI; there, you have to specify a 1 to 
run the action.

You'd have to replace that dialog. WixUI doesn't offer a way to tweak
individual controls.

Does the ModuleInstallExecuteSequence table in the .msm also have a row

Yes. See the Shortcut table doc in the MSI SDK; unless a column is
marked Formatted, it's fixed. On Windows Vista and Server 2008, you 
can use DisplayResourceDLL to change the name.

I want to change UI elements in the .msp patch installer itself. 


Patches don't contain UI, unless you've added them by changing UI 
elements between your target and upgrade packages. When you double-click 
an .msp file, MSI starts the product(s) being targeted by the patch in 
repair mode, so its UI is what's being shown.


Generally, patches are installed in silent mode by an external UI 
handler to provide a better user experience.

That's one of the many reasons self-reg is evil 
http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2004/05/20/136530.aspx: If a DLL 
has dependencies on something being installed, it might fail. The CRT 
libraries are installed in the side-by-side cache which takes effect 
only when the install is committed, which is too late for self-reg.
