Re: [WiX-users] New wix binary delta patching doesn't work
The -delta switch of pyro builds on top of the whole-file patch support in pyro, so if that isn't working, the delta addition won't do anything to help you. If you get pyro to build a whole file patch that updates your binaries, then add the -delta switch and test the results.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New wix binary delta patching doesn't work Removing -delta option from Pyro's command line gives me the same result: it reports that no files are added to the patch cab. I'll need some time to try with changing the third version number since I'm doing tests on actual builds, not a toy system. I find it interesting that MSP built with Pyro is 3 MB large but patches only the database (where I believe only version and description strings have changed), while MsiMsp created 1.2 MB large MSP which does everything above but patches also the (updated) version resource in more than 50 Dlls and a few signed exes. -Original Message- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 12:04 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Yes. DTF runs each managed custom action in its own dedicated process.
Because the process is separate and new, there is no risk of some other
CLR version already being loaded into it. Only an unmanaged stub runs in
the MSI custom action server process -- that stub coordinates the launch
of the new process for managed code and the communication with it.

The above blog tells us that one of the reasons not to use managed code
for DLL CAs is because .NET Framework version 1.1 is always loaded on
Windows Server 2003 regardless of the code's required .NET version. I
know that DTF addresses the sticky CLR problem, but can find no mention
of this second problem. Does DTF resolve this issue?
If it's been fixed separately in a Windows Server 2003 update then
please could someone supply the reference so that I can check that we
have the fix deployed.

Re: [WiX-users] Call a .NET dll file in wix using custom
HKLM\Software\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 is NOT a COM
registration. A COM registration would include registry keys similar to these
(values not included):
* HKCR\CLSID\{576bdc7a-1b68-444b-8ea9-5c07d88b1ff2}\InprocServer32
* HKCR\CLSID\{576bdc7a-1b68-444b-8ea9-5c07d88b1ff2}\ProgID
* HKCR\DLFetcher.RetreiveDL
In WiX source, you can get these keys created using code like this (I don't
know which of your guids is your CLSID, so I can't fill it in for you):
Component Id=DlFetcher Guid={Component-GUID-HERE} Location=local
File

The SqlDatabase element has a Database attribute which specifies the name of the database to create, so obviously this can be a WiX variable at runtime.

No, you're right, you can only assign explicit scripts. By load, I meant copy paste. The two elements have different capabilities, and unfortunately for you, you're looking for one that's only available with SqlString.

From: dB. I just realized that UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is an MSI 4.0 thing. How can I detect that the product is being uninstalled during a major upgrade for old versions of MSI? That's bad realization; if you're basing it on MSDN, you've been caught by some poor thinking (or rather, lack of thinking) on how to present the Requirements information. It requires WI 4.0 on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, probably because that's the only version of WI supported on those OSes. It works with any version of WI on 2003, XP, and 2000. In other words, it works for all version of WI on all versions of Windows since 2000.

[WiX-users] Permission vs. PermissionEx and Users Group
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369774.aspx, you cannot specify the Users group, only Administrators or Everyone as the username for a Permission element. My first try for this was to use the WIX_ACCOUNT_USERS property, which is set as part of the WixQueryOsWellKnownSID custom action. This works great on Windows XP and Windows Vista. The problem is that under Windows 2000, the LocalService and NetworkService accounts don't exist, so the CA fails, even though I'm not referencing those properties (they get set in the same CA). I see two solutions... Either split the CA into WixQueryOsWellKnownSID and WixQueryOsWellKnownServiceSIDs so that if you don't need those ones, they won't run on Windows 2000 and won't have a problem. OR... Looking at the source code for CaExecSecureObjects which processes the PermissionEx element, it will properly lookup the SIDs for Users group, etc. So is WiX's PermissionEx as reliable as MSI's native LockObjects t able? If so, I can just use that and not worry about the CA working or failing.

Re: [WiX-users] Dynamically naming a database during its installation
Hi, I am willing to write the CA. Some writing using DFT sounds cool. But, the only solution that comes to my mind is: loop through the Binary table, export every Sql script, do a find and replace, import the Sql script back to the database. My scripts are pretty long, and I don't want to paste them into wix every time I change it. I prefer the approach, change script, push red button build and deploy. If you think about an easier way to custom action it, I will appreciate it.

[WiX-users] How to author a patch to remove launch conditions of RTM msi
Hi, We have an issue where our RTM msi had some launch conditions that are preventing patches from being uninstalled. It was suggested that we create a uninstallable patch to remove that launch condition so that subsequent patches could be uninstalled. This seems like a simple thing to do, but I am new to patches and don't know where to start. How do I go about authoring a patch to remove launch conditions? Thanks, Shawn On Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 1:49 PM, Shawn Dwyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Bob. Do I need to do anything special so that MSI won't let the user install the product a second time? Without that Condition entry, the second time I run the installer it goes through the entire UI sequence, and then just disappears with no indication of what went wrong. I like the idea of an uninstallable minor upgrade patch that removes the launch condition. How do I author a patch to remove launch conditions? When following the instruction in Wix.chm (v2), when I create the updated installer.msi with new Package Id, should the rest of it be the same as the original installer.msi with possibly some new components, or should/can it just contain the Wix for installing the handful of files I want replaced/added in the patch?

I am able to uninstall the full product which removes the patch with it. Uninstalling a patch runs a repair of the unpatched product. (So likely your current product would likewise fail on repair.) You don't need a launch condition like that, because MSI will install a product only once (ignoring things like SxS installs and instance transforms.) You might try an uninstallable minor upgrade patch that removes the launch condition; other patches can target that minor upgrade as a new baseline. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Re: [WiX-users] Installing PFX certificates to Trusted Root?
Hello All,
(I'm responding months after having posted my initial question, doh!)
Thanks Rob, for the clue about PFX passwords. After some
experimentation I realized that (1) the PFX I was given has an empty
password, and (2) Wix 3.03907 does not allow me to include an empty
string as the value of the PFXPassword attribute.
To further confirm, I manually imported the PFX, then exported it making
sure to give it a non-empty password. I then rebuilt the MSI to use the
newly exported PFX. Sure enough, it worked.
So is it indeed impossible to install a PFX that has an empty string for
a password?

Subject: [WiX-users] Installing PFX certificates to Trusted Root?
Hello All,
I see a number of examples regarding iis:Certificate, but none quite
does what I need.
I am trying to get my MSI to import a PFX file into the set of Trusted
Root Certification Authorities. I made an MSI that intends to do
nothing more than this. (If I can get that right I'll roll it into a
larger MSI that does some IIS web configuration.) My code is as
follows:
Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
Component Id=RootCertComponent
Guid={40BF09F0-A8F0-4eb8-9A72-6B4F64637326}
iis:Certificate Id=Certifimacate

Documents\Visual Studio
2005\Projects\CertificatePrototype\CertificatePrototype\Certifimacate.pf
x /
Feature Id=ProductFeature Title=CertificatePrototype Level=1

/Feature
When I run this it consistently fails with:

I have also tried using a File element to hold the certificate instead
of a Binary element, but the log, in that case, shows:

I'm not sure if that matters. I am executing it as an AdminUser (the
MSI actually tests that condition.)
Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here? This behavior
Re: [WiX-users] How to author a patch to remove launch conditions of RTM msi
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Shawn Dwyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This seems like a simple thing to do, but I am new to patches and don't know where to start. How do I go about authoring a patch to remove launch conditions? Make an administrative image of your deployed product. Make a copy of this administrative image. In the copy, use Orca to remove the offending launch conditions. Then use patchwiz.dll and msimsp to create a patch that transforms the deployed image to the updated image. This involves creating a patch creation properties (PCP) file, which is just an MSI with some tables defining the patch properties. You feed the PCP file to msimsp and it grinds its way through the two images to produce the patch as an MSP file. I'd suggest reading the SDK documentation on patching and doing some experiments with this before you deploy any patches you generate. Also, make sure your image passes ICEs properly before generating the patch -- if the ICEs fail, its most likely going to cause problems with the patch. You'll have to incorporate any changes in the updated image to correct the ICE errors along with removing the launch conditions. I'd also recommend reading the chapter in The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer on servicing and upgrades. It has additional information that helps make the process clear. Don't rely on InstallSUCK documentation; it is woefully inadequate. -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html Legalize Adulthood! http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Re: [WiX-users] Dynamically naming a database during its installation
I built an extension that uses SqlFormattedScript elements. It's basically just SqlScript, plus formatting. I used the same design, up to and including the table it stores into in the final MSI DB. I just rename it for my own purposes. I then take advantage of the fact that SqlScript elements just schedule sql for running in a deferred CA, and I load the scripts in myself in a DTF CA, and schedule them the same way. I also make sure to load in the WixSqlExtension stuff, including it's CA's. I did it at work, and if they're fine with me sharing that, then I'll be happy to do so. I would assume it wouldn't be included as part of the official distro, since it's DTF dependent, not all native. Worst case, you could reimplement using this design, as it works like a champ for me.

The SqlDatabase element has a Database attribute which specifies the name of the database to create, so obviously this can be a WiX variable at runtime. However, inside the sql scripts I need to reference the name of the database also. I am unsure whether it is possible to pass parameters into the script at run time?

[WiX-users] Unable to Checkout/Checkin wxs files in VS2008 TFS
I upgraded last week from version 3.0.3725.0 of Wix that came (I believe) with Visual Studio 2008 to 3.0.4401.0 (32bit in all cases) and now I've found I am unable to use the source control functionality within Visual Studio. Specifically I've tried to checkout a wxs file I need to add a single file to and rebuild it but I cannot find a way of checking out the file, and like Andy Kwak (Votive auto-checkout bug in 3.0.4401.0) I find I cannot make changes to the file and save them without first checking the file out. Have I misinstalled the newer version because I had a look for installation steps but couldn't find any outside of install it to update your Wix3 installation. For the time being I've managed to rollback to 3.0.3725.0 that we have in an archive location but I would like to upgrade to the latest at some point but this is preventing us from doing that and any help would be much appreciated.
