The former. Manipulating the file system via custom action is risky; it 
would also mean you couldn't patch the file.

You don't have to do anything; MSI will automatically use any dialog in 
your MSI named FilesInUse (or, for restart manager on Vista/2008, 
MsiRmFilesInUse).

[WiX-users] Features

[Amjad, Farhad]

Hi.

I am trying to create a installer for .net web application. I have
different configuration files for different environments (DEV, ST, UAT)
but all with the same filename. Features would have the environment were
user would install (DEV, ST, UAT).

I created components for each environment and referenced the file per
environment. When I build error says Web.Con is installed in '
[TARGETDIR]\Inetpub' by two different components on an SFN system

The intention is for the user to select a feature for specific
environment thus only 1 config file would be copied.

Thanks,

[WiX-users] Billboard timing

[Tony Juricic]

I have 10 bitmaps that I would like to cycle among FileInstall and my
custom action that follows FileInstall.

My execute sequence looks like this:

  
  
  
  

Bitmaps are split between these two actions like in this example:

  

  


  
  

 ... 3 more bitmaps
  


  
  ... similar to above with 5 more bitmaps
  

Ticks are reserved in immediate custom action using:

::WcaProgressMessage(totalticks, TRUE); 

and ticks are consumed in deferred action using many statements
scattered through the code, like this

::WcaProgressMessage(pieceoftotal, FALSE);  // tick the progress
bar

All in all, I am doing what available documentation says I should be
doing:

The problems:
1) (apparently) depending on how many total ticks were reserved for
custom action, standard action InstallFiles displays 2,3 or all 5
billboard bitmaps. How to monitor, debug, understand, change,  ... this
behavior?
2) billboard bitmaps never change during the execution of deferred
custom action. Again, how to understand and debug this behavior?

Thanks for any input!

As an interesting aside, microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi group shows
similar billboard-related questions posted in 2001, then 2003 and the
last one in 2005. I cannot see any answers that sheds light on this
billboard mystery so now, after 3 years, it is probably a good time to
ask the question about the billboard programming again.

[WiX-users] Patch install: MoveFiles and component action states

[Ilya Slobodin]

Hello,

We have a database file


  
  
  


The database file can be modified by user, on reinstall the modified 
file is renamed to db.bak and original file is copied on it's place. 
Everything worked well until I made the patch file that modifies 
another file, e.g. somecode.dll.

During the patch install, MoveFiles action is executed, db.dat is 
renamed to db.bak. But db.dat is not reinstalled as it was with 
reinstall. And our patched program ends up without database.

...
MSI (s) (64:F8) [20:11:50:685]: Component: db.dat; Installed: Local; 
Request: Local;   Action: Local
...
MSI (s) (64:F8) [20:11:55:342]: Executing op: 
FileCopy(SourceName=somecode.dll,SourceCabKey=somecode.dll,DestName=somecode.dll,Attributes=20480,FileSize=2105344,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,CheckCRC=0,Version=1.0.0.1037,Language=1033,InstallMode=58982400,,,)
...
No FileCopy for db.dat
...

Currently I temporarily solved the problem by modyfing with the patch 
MoveFiles condition to "NOT PATCH". Is there a better solution?

Best regards,
Ilya Slobodin

I might not be thinking of something, but generally I make them the same
component.   The reason it can be in a different component is because
it's possible to be stopping/starting/stopping a service that you didn't
install.
But since you are creating it, I'm not thinking of a reason to seperate
them.

One side note: Remember that the service install actions occur when the
component is being installed/uninstalled not the product or feature is
being installed or uninstall.

Re: [WiX-users] Mixed language (localization)

[Martin MacPherson]

Hey Olivier,

I've not done it myself but there was a post last week  (3 July 2008
10:52) discussing
the overriding of text using a localisation file..

There were a couple of links to the variables that can be overriden:

http://wix.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/wix/wix/src/ext/UIExtension/wixlib/ErrorProgressText.wxs

http://wix.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/wix/wix/src/ext/UIExtension/wixlib/WixUI_en-us.wxl

I'm sure there is probably some info in the Wix chm about it.

Cheers,
Martin

[WiX-users] Mixed language (localization)

[Olivier Guezenec]

I have 2 versions of my package, one in English and the other in French.

The problem with the French version is that few messages are still in
English, such as:

"You must restart your system for this configuration changes made to."

"Removing backup files"

I use a recent Wix V3, with the switch -cultures:fr-fr

Any thought?

 

Thanks for your help,

Olivier

[WiX-users] ServiceInstall Advise

[Neil Sleightholm]

I am installing a service by using a fragment like this:

 









  

 

Is this a good or bad structure, should the ServiceInstall and
ServiceControl be in their own components, e.g.:

 



  

 







  

 

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to the structure I have used?

 

Thanks

[WiX-users] uninstall custom action

[Yu, Brian]

I am new to WIX and found myself supporting it. It's a great tool and
I'm sure there are more fun to be had.

 

My question is 

 

At Uninstall, I want the msi to create a machine.config file and
populate with important registry settings

I used xmltask to get it to populate an existing file I created 

 

Connection.wxi



   





   





   



   

   



 

xmlconfig.wxi



http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";

Id="BrianID3" 

Action="create"

ElementPath="//SOFTWARE/My/Debug/App1" 

File="[MACHINE_CONFIG]"

Name="OutputLogFile"

Node="value"

Value="[OUTPUTLOGFILE]"

On="uninstall"/>



 

But in order for this to work, I need to create ="c:\mymachine.config
and populate it with xml tags 

How can I get it msi to create a file c:\mymachine.config with those
values?
