[WiX-users] Help with driver installation needed
Hi, I need to install 3 Drivers (one minifilter driver and two other system drivers). None of them is signed. Can I use the Difxapp-Extension of Wix v3 for that? What is necessary to use that Extension?

Re: [WiX-users] Possible bug, All of UI in Fragment included in MSI without UIRef
The linker pulls in complete "sections". A Fragment creates one section. Thus, if you reference anything in a Fragment everything the Fragment is included in your output. If you want very granular inclusion of code, make appropriately small Fragments. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 21:28 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Possible bug, All of UI in Fragment included in MSI without UIRef I am creating sets of dialogs in a wixlib project.

[WiX-users] Detect the version of already installed product.
Howdy gang, In my installer I need to notify user if the previous version of product is installed and show the version number. I was hoping that I can find the already installed version number in PATCHFOUND property I use in UpgradeVersion stuff: However, the value of property is just some GUID. I know the way I can accomplish this task - call the custom action that executes the external program that loads the installed assembly and returns it's version number, likely the assembly version is the same as the installed product version. However this way is not straightforward . I am sure that Wix has the way to detect the already installed version number, just can't find it. Can anyone help me? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Detect-the-version-of-already-installed-product.-tp1344094p1344094.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.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=100&url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
[WiX-users] FW: [ wix-Bugs-1992202 ] Allow IIS SiteId to be set
>> Rob Mensching (robmen) >> Moving to WiX v4. We just aren't going to nail this now. Is there any way I could change your mind on this. As far as I am concerned this is a critical bug and stops my adoption of v3 in one of my clients. The key problem is that it makes it impossible to use WiX to deploy to Web farms as the site ID must be the same on all servers.

Category: extensions >Group: v4.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Neil Sleightholm (nsleigh) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Allow IIS SiteId to be set Initial Comment: When you use WiX to create a new website in IIS 6 it creates it with an Identifier or Site Id of one more than the last website that was created (this is the same as IIS 5). If you create it manually then IIS sets the Identifier to a number based on the hash of the site name - the algorithm for this is explained here on Mike Poulson's blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/mpoulson/archive/2006/03/06/544893.aspx. To summarise it creates the hash and then if that Identifier is in use it just adds one until it finds an unused Identifier. This method of creating Identifier's based on the hash of the name is very useful when you have a farm of servers as it means that the Identifier is not dependent on the order in which installs are run. For in house websites you can arrange for the website names to have unique hash values and be sure that all servers in a farm are identical and even build servers with a subset of the sites that again are identical to the original install. The identifier is also used for log file path, so on a farm of servers it helps if the logs are all in known folders. This Id is also used as the key to the session state so must be the same on all servers. I think the website creation needs a parameter for SiteId which by default works as it currently does to avoid breaking existing installs. It should be possible to set this to default (as it works now), iis6hash or a specific numeric value. I have attached a modified v2 scaweb.cpp that implements the IIS6 hashing method. -- Comment By: Rob Mensching (robmen) Date: 2008-10-16 14:58 Message: Moving to WiX v4.

IIS7 pretty much broke everything. They changed the access on the objects to require admin privileges to even read the metabase.

I tried ADO.NET but LINQ suits me better, from earlier experience i like it much more. So...did it move fwd somewhere? How it will end? Or better , can somebody give me Bart's contact? Or tell me state of "project"?

There isn't a feature like that. It would be impossible to manage for installs where every file gets replaced by one with a higher version.

[WiX-users] Resetting Visual Studio Addins
Our product includes a Visual Studio addin. For the most part everything works fine, but occasionally we need to reset the addin. Visual Studio documents the /resetaddin option to do this: devenv /resetaddin MyAddin.Connect We can include the command in our documentation, but it would be much cooler to "do the right thing" automatically in our installer. Unfortunately in addition to resetting the addin, the command also brings up the IDE. I can force the IDE to exit by adding "/command exit" to the command line, but that results in the IDE window flashing up onto the screen and then going away. I've managed to get this into our Wix script with the following entries: CustomAction doesn't appear to have any way to influence the initial window state, and even if I try to from the command line with start /min devenv /resetaddin MyAddin.Connect /command exit I get the window flash. Can anybody suggest any way to suppress the display of the IDE window?

"SQL query syntax invalid or unsupported. Database: target.msi. Could
not load table 'Property' in SQL query: SELECT `Property` FROM
`Property` WHERE `Property`='REBOOT'"
Below is the line of code :
IList PropList = MsiDb.ExecuteQuery(sQuery, InProp.Property);
The source and Target msi files are very basic (based on Schema.msi).
The only difference in the Target msi is an extra entry in the Property

Please help.

Re: [WiX-users] Use of ComponentGroup and "Duplicate symbol 'WixComponentGroup:xxx' found."
Thanks very much for the help everyone, Rob you were right I think that something was being referenced twice. I'm not sure if I managed to do it (not sure if you can when VS is calling the WiX libs for you?) or if it was VS playing funny buggers. Either way, I de-referenced the project and closed VS and then re-added (with possibly some other mucking around in between) but I think this is what fixed it.

Re: [WiX-users] hi
You can do a property/regsearch for IIS v5/6/7: Key="SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters" Name="MajorVersion" Root="HKLM" Same for MySQL: Key="SOFTWARE\MySQL" Name="MajorVersion" Root="HKLM" Same for .NET 20 Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727" I would say use those regsearches nested in properties then provide launch conditions so the install will fail if none of the req's are satisfied. (I don't know how well a nested install would work if IIS isn't installed by the way. Never done a nested install, but have been told to avoid them like the plague.) To install services, WiX supports w/ / If you want to edit the XML config files on the fly, like say the user enters in info in the UI sequence, you can always use to accomplish that And as far as creating tables and sprocs, you'd have to probably write up the scripts to do so, then use / Sounds like WiX has everything you need.

hi. i need to make installer for my project, and i'm wondering if wix is the right solution for me. i read the tutorial, but i'm not sure if wix will be able to do all i need, so i decided to ask here. my project consists of two parts. 1) service 2) web service [for configuration, monitoring ...] its written in c# (visual studio 2005), and its dependend upon folowing : - mysql (for my database) - IIS (webservice ) - .NET 2.0 i would like to make my isntaller suitable for every user, so this is how i would like it to go : -- check if IIS is installed, if not install it [start installing, ask for windows cd ...] -- check if .NET 2 framework is installed, if not install it [run .NET setup] -- check if mysql 4 or 5 is isntalled, if not install it [run mysql setup] -- install my service and webservice -- edit configuration files for both of them (connection string) -- create tables and pšrocedures in mysql -- start service so i know i can install service and webservice, run the service, edit config files (they are xml), i also know that i can check for .net, and install it but how about the other things ? how to check if mysql is isntalled, how to create tables ? how to install IIS ? is this only possible with writting custom dll actions ? one idea is that i use the visual studios WEB SETUP and normal setup, as normal setup auto checks and installs .NET , and web setup auto installs webservice, and checks for iis, then i could write helper app to edit config files and create tables. but 1) its not realy nice way, and 2) how could i get properties as [INSTALLDIR] from my wix to the helper utility, and "subinstallers"? how can i run installation of mysql in the middle of my wix install ? ok i know i sound confused, and that there are a lot of questions ... well i still hope somebody can give me some answers and point me into the right direction thank you very much - 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=100&url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

[WiX-users] WiX 3 - LGHT0130 primary key duplicated in Registry
Hello,
I've read through all the wix-users responses (and am fully aware that it
has been covered many times), but I am still unsuccessful in getting my
assembly registered correctly. Note that I'm not a .Net programmer - my role
is to assemble installers - so apologies if some of this is FAQ material.
I have a .Net COM service whose manual registration as follows works OK:
regasm SystemServices.dll /codebase
However I would prefer not to run a CustomAction to perform a regasm on
this.
Sending the output to a reg file gives entries such as:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\System.SoapClient.ActionItemServiceSoapBinding]
@="System.SoapClient.ActionItemServiceSoapBinding"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\System.SoapClient.ActionItemServiceSoapBinding\CLSID]

Running Heat on my DLL gives me:
But I get the error about the duplicate key in Registry when compiling.
Note that I have another 1100 entries much like the above.
My question is simple. What do I need to change in the WiX file to get the
system to register things in the same was as regasm /codebase? Will adding a
new unique ID to RegistryValue resolve this? I'm happy to postprocess the
heat output if necessary.
If this is a bug in Heat - what is needed to resolve the bug so we can get
it fixed?
Many thanks for any pointers.
Ben

[WiX-users] Program dependencies on uninstall
I've created several installs now using WiX for various programs and I have a problem where they are dependent on each others files. They do use some of the same files but each has their own copy in their respective install directories. The problem comes when I uninstall one of them I'm met with a dialog that says "The following applications should be closed before continuing the installation:" and it lists off the other programs that are running. I may be overlooking a simple fix but if anyone could point me in the correct direction to stop it from doing this it would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Program-dependencies-on-uninstall-tp1341544p1341544.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.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=100&url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

[WiX-users] What's wrong with this syntax?
Hi,
I get this error message, but I can't see what's wrong with the syntax.
"SQL query syntax invalid or unsupported. Database: target.msi. Could
not load table 'Property' in SQL query: SELECT `Property` FROM
`Property` WHERE `Property`='REBOOT'"
Below is the line of code :
IList PropList = MsiDb.ExecuteQuery(sQuery, InProp.Property);
The source and Target msi files are very basic (based on Schema.msi).
The only difference in the Target msi is an extra entry in the Property
table.
Please help.

Simon Powell

[WiX-users] CreateTransformSummaryInfo Error
Hi,
If I use the following line of DTF code :
targetDb.CreateTransformSummaryInfo(sourceDb, transformFile,
TransformErrors.AddExistingTable, TransformValidations.Product);
I get the following error :
This installation package could not be opened. Contact the
application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer
package.
The source and Target msi files are very basic (based on Schema.msi).
The only difference in the Target msi is an extra entry in the Property
table.
What I'm ultimately trying to achieve, is the ability to modify existing
MSTs and automate application of our company's packaging standards.

[WiX-users] Installing a managed assembly with external(!) manifest into the GAC
Hi all,
Is it possible to install a managed assembly together with an external
manifest into the GAC? First I thought the following WiX code would do this:
Actually it compiles just fine but during the installation a message box
pops up that states:
"Error writing to file test.dll.manifest. Verify that you have access to
that directory.
The log file shows the following error:
MSI (s) (28:DC) [11:27:17:828]: Executing op:

MSI (c) (CC:C4) [11:27:17:843]: Font created. Charset: Req=0, Ret=0, Font:
Req=MS Shell Dlg, Ret=MS Shell Dlg
My manifest (test.dll.manifest) for the managed test.dll looks like this:
The reason for the external manifest is that the dll is delivered by an
external vendor. The assembly is already signed and therefore I can't embed
the manifest into the assembly.
What am I doing wrong? Isn't it possible to store external manifests in the
Global assembly Cache?
Thanks!
