Re: [WiX-users] How to for non english culture?
First I feel your pain I am doing something similar. The way I see it, WiX installs the application, the bootstrapper is for prerequisites that may or may not be on your destination PC. Yes you could use NSIS for all of this but you will get a better application installer using Windows Installer at the cost of needing a separate bootstrapper (until WiX 3.5 delivers burn). As far as creating non-English is concerned I am doing this be making the CAB file external to the install e.g.: Media Id=1 Cabinet=Setup.cab EmbedCab=no / Then I build each of the language variants using the light command line option -cultures e.g. -cultures:es-es;en-us for Spanish. What I end up with is a number of small msi's each with a different name all referring to the same Setup.cab file. Then in my bootstrapper I determine the local language and run the appropriate msi. As for a localised .Net install in my experience I only ever install the English version, I believe that the localisation of .Net only applies to the installation so if you run it silently, as you normally do in a bootstrapper, this doesn't matter. I could be wrong on this but we ship a range of languages and have never noticed a problem. I hope this helps.

Hi Brian,
Which version are you using? I remember that once upon a time, ElementPath
required a XmlConfig Id:
Therefore, using
ElementPath=CreateDummyElement is valid.

[WiX-users] Skip dialog during uninstall
Howdy, In my installer I should show licensing dialog at the end of installation. If the product is removed, the licensing dialog should not be shown though and user exit dialog should be shown instead. I try to use conditions like below: InstallUISequence Show Dialog=LicensingDlg OnExit=success ![CDATA[Not Installed OR (Installer AND REMOVE ALL)]] /Show This way LicensingDlg is shown at the end of fresh installation or repairing only. This is what I wanted to achieve. However, when I uninstall the product, the LicensingDlg is not shown, UserExitDlg isn't shown and uninstall finished without any final dialog..Which is logical.. Then, I try to show UserExit dialog at the end of uninstall only(REMOVE=ALL): Show Dialog=ExitDlg OnExit=success ![CDATA[REMOVE = ALL)]] /Show However, with this line LicensingDlg isn't shown during installation and ExitDlg isn't shown during removing the product.

Re: [WiX-users] How to for non english culture?
Thanks Rob. Sorry for being a bit blatant - I was feeling a bit frustrated. It's hard to justify the spending of so much time to build an installer that was almost done in NSIS :-). Anyway, I found a good solution. I still use the Visual Studio Bootstrapper, but added a GenerateBootstrapper (in my project file) for each culture, using the relative culture path. Example: Target Name=AfterBuild GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile=Panorama.msi ApplicationName=Panorama CopyComponents=false BootstrapperItems=@(BootstrapperFile) ComponentsLocation=Relative OutputPath=$(OutputPath)\pt-BR Culture=pt-BR FallbackCulture=en-US Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\ / GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile=Panorama.msi ApplicationName=Panorama CopyComponents=false BootstrapperItems=@(BootstrapperFile) ComponentsLocation=Relative OutputPath=$(OutputPath)\pt-pt Culture=pt-PT FallbackCulture=en-US Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\ / GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile=Panorama.msi ApplicationName=Panorama CopyComponents=false BootstrapperItems=@(BootstrapperFile) ComponentsLocation=Relative OutputPath=$(OutputPath)\en-US Culture=en-US Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\ / /Target This way I have a complete installation package for each culture in its own folder. The bootstrapper has the big problem of hardcoding the full path to the msi, if I use ApplicationFile=$(TargetPath), so I just changed it to a no path target name and the bootstrapper started working. Maybe there is a better property than $(TargetPath) (is there?), but for now I just hardcode the msi's name. I think the How To: Install the .NET Framework Using a Bootstrapper example in the WiX help file should be modified. All the best and thanks for your help!

I still use the Visual Studio Bootstrapper, but added a GenerateBootstrapper (in my project file) for each culture, using the relative culture path. Example: Target Name=AfterBuild GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile=Panorama.msi ApplicationName=Panorama CopyComponents=false BootstrapperItems=@(BootstrapperFile) ComponentsLocation=Relative OutputPath=$(OutputPath)\pt-BR Culture=pt-BR FallbackCulture=en-US Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\ / GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile=Panorama.msi ApplicationName=Panorama CopyComponents=false BootstrapperItems=@(BootstrapperFile) ComponentsLocation=Relative OutputPath=$(OutputPath)\pt-pt Culture=pt-PT FallbackCulture=en-US Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\ / GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile=Panorama.msi ApplicationName=Panorama CopyComponents=false BootstrapperItems=@(BootstrapperFile) ComponentsLocation=Relative OutputPath=$(OutputPath)\en-US Culture=en-US Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\ / /Target This way I have a complete installation package for each culture in its own folder. The bootstrapper has the big problem of hardcoding the full path to the msi, if I use ApplicationFile=$(TargetPath), so I just changed it to a no path target name and the bootstrapper started working. Maybe there is a better property than $(TargetPath) (is there?), but for now I just hardcode the msi's name. I think the How To: Install the .NET Framework Using a Bootstrapper example in the WiX help file should be modified. All the best and thanks for your help!

Thanks Michael. I understand that. But then, why did I move away from NSIS? It does exactly what you say. Best of all - I don't have to build with wix and then use some other application to make a real self contained installer - NSIS is the bootstrapper and the installer. I am trying to have an integrated development system where I am not the only wizard that knows how to compile the installer. Any of the developers wanting to build the installer shouldn't have to install a dozen utilities and applications just to be able to do it.

It's also worth noting that it's not awfully hard to write your own -- which has some advantages, in that you can customize it to your liking. I just wrote one for our own project this morning. Basically you'll need to produce an executable stub (with no external dependencies) that knows how to use Find/Load/LockResource to extract an RCDATA resource from itself, save it as an MSI, and run it. Obviously it can get much more complicated from there, but those are the basics. You'll also need something to use BeginUpdateResource/UpdateResource/EndUpdateResource to embed the MSI(s) into the resource section of the stub executable.

I would like for the first syntax to work, just as it does with attributes.
Is this a known limitation or can it be fixed?

Re: [WiX-users] Certificate install to local machine fails withcode 26352
OK, I think I understand what's going on here. The reason a certificate
looked like it was duplicated was that the same cert existed in multiple
physical stores, which appeared as the same logical store in the mmc.
If the certificate the installer was trying to add already existed in
the Group Policy store, then the install would fail, since the user
would not have permission to delete from that store (although they can
through the MMC). If the cert exists in any other combination of
stores, it seems to work. Here's the steps to reproduce
-Generate a CA cert
-Open mmc, and add the certificates snapin for the local computer
-Right click the Certificates (Local Computer) node, and select
View-options
-Leave the view mode as Logical stores, and check off the Show Physical
certificate stores option
-Click OK
-Expand the Group policy node, right click on the Certificates folder,
and select All Tasks-Import
-Import your certificate into the store
-Create an installer that installs the certificate into the local
machine store using the IIS extension (e.g. iis:Certificate
Name=CACERT Id='CACERT' Request='no' CertificatePath='[CERTPATH]'
StoreLocation='localMachine' StoreName='root'/)
-Run the installer
If you do this, the installer will fail with the error code 26352. If
you remove the cert from the group policy store manually, the installer
will run.
To fix this, you should just be able to change the calls in the IIS
extension source (scacertexec.cpp and scacert.cpp) to
CertAddCertificateContextToStore. Instead of using
CERT_STORE_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING, you can use
CERT_STORE_ADD_USE_EXISTING. This updates the current cert instead of
duplicating it, and the test case detailed above should pass. You will
notice that the certificate will be listed in both the registry and
group policy physical stores, but I don't think there's anything we can
do about that.
I haven't tried actually rebuilding the WiX source with this change
(since I don't have a build environment set up for it yet), but that's
the next step. Anyone have any thoughts on this change?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Certificate install to local machine fails
withcode 26352
I've dug a little deeper into this, written some test code to try to
debug the problem, and I've found something interesting. The
CertAddCertificateContextToStore function is failing with Access Denied
when trying to add the cert with CERT_STORE_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING, which
is failing the installer. This only appears to fail if there are two
copies of the same certificate in the store with the same serial number,
which may or may not be left there from the installer as well (that's
problem #2-problem #1 is not failing the installer in the first place).
I tried manually checking the store for duplicates and deleting them
before installing (with CertDeleteCertificateFromStore), but this
returned Access denied as well. When I tried changing the parameter on
the add function to use CERT_STORE_ADD_USE_EXISTING though, it worked
without returning an error. It looks like the difference is that
replace existing tries to do a delete first, while the use existing
version updates the existing cert.
The first question is, why is the delete failing? I have admin rights
on the machine, and if there are 0 or 1 copies of the cert in the store,
the operation works fine. The second question is, why should the
certificate be duplicated in the first place? I tried writing code that
used CERT_STORE_ADD_ALWAYS, but it still only left me with one copy of
the certificate. Is it possible that a call to add a certificate with
replacement is adding a new certificate without deleting the old one?
Any experts in the crypto API here? If not, does anyone have any
thoughts on where else I could look for answers?

[WiX-users] Problem prompting the user to close an application
Hi, i've been a bit distracted so got half way through trying to implement this.. I'm installing an IE plugin so would like to prompt the user to get them to restart IE (or at least ask if they want to) and i'm having a few problems I can use the closeApplication custom action to set a property as follows: util:CloseApplication Id=CheckIE CloseMessage=no Property=IERunning Target=iexplore.exe RebootPrompt=no/InstallUISequenceCustom Action=WixCloseApplications Before=AppSearch//InstallUISequenceand then use that to display a dialog during installation asking if the user would like IE to be restarted and sets a property if required. But then i come unstuck. I've tried to use the Description property of CloseApplication to display a message, but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried to schedule another CloseApplication to occur at the end of the install based on the value of my property: util:CloseApplication Id=CloseIE CloseMessage=yes Target=iexplore.exe RebootPrompt=noAutoRestartIE/util:CloseApplicationInstallExecuteSequenceCustom Action=WixCloseApplications After=InstallValidate//InstallExecuteSequenceWhere AutoRestartIE is the property set by the dialog. It seems that only one of the CloseApplication actions is run (which ever is listed first) and i've tried to add a sequence value to them to no avail. the relevant output of the log is like this: Doing action: WixCloseApplicationsAction 17:36: WixCloseApplications.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem in Upgrade scenario
My guess is that your performance counters are being uninstalled because the condition is something like REMOVE=ALL.

I'm assuming that your custom action depends on the upgraded assemblies. -- 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 - 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
[WiX-users] Error PYRO0104 when making .MSP (re-posted)
I'm following Peter Marcu's Patching something you didn't build with WiX using WiX to try to patch my existing MSI that was built with WiX, but built with a version before WixPDB's. The error text is: C:\dev\flamingo\2.0\diff.wixmst : error PYRO0104 : Not a valid output file; detail: Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 1. The failing command is (simplified): pyro.exe -v -notidy patch.wixmsp -out c:\patch.msp -t BaselineState diff.wixmst where BaselineState is in this line in my patch.wxs: PatchBaseline Id=BaselineState/ Because the error message includes Invalid character in the given encoding I looked at code pages and encoding in the origianal MSI's:. The .wixmst is generated from two MSI's, each with codepage 1252, generated from WiX source files with encoding=UTF-8 The .wixmst definitely has our specific content in it (I can see the correct Property names in it). We did look at the Pyro source code from this WiX build 3.0.4318.0 and couldn't find this error. I can post the detailed files, can anyone suggest a way forward? -- Gordon Dass Adams --- McNeel Technical Support, Seattle Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rhino3d.com www.accurender.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

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Certificate install to local machine fails withcode 26352 OK, I think I understand what's going on here. The reason a certificate looked like it was duplicated was that the same cert existed in multiple physical stores, which appeared as the same logical store in the mmc. If the certificate the installer was trying to add already existed in the Group Policy store, then the install would fail, since the user would not have permission to delete from that store (although they can through the MMC). If the cert exists in any other combination of stores, it seems to work. Here's the steps to reproduce -Generate a CA cert -Open mmc, and add the certificates snapin for the local computer -Right click the Certificates (Local Computer) node, and select View-options -Leave the view mode as Logical stores, and check off the Show Physical certificate stores option -Click OK -Expand the Group policy node, right click on the Certificates folder, and select All Tasks-Import -Import your certificate into the store -Create an installer that installs the certificate into the local machine store using the IIS extension (e.g. iis:Certificate Name=CACERT Id='CACERT' Request='no' CertificatePath='[CERTPATH]' StoreLocation='localMachine' StoreName='root'/) -Run the installer If you do this, the installer will fail with the error code 26352. If you remove the cert from the group policy store manually, the installer will run. To fix this, you should just be able to change the calls in the IIS extension source (scacertexec.cpp and scacert.cpp) to CertAddCertificateContextToStore. Instead of using CERT_STORE_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING, you can use CERT_STORE_ADD_USE_EXISTING. This updates the current cert instead of duplicating it, and the test case detailed above should pass. You will notice that the certificate will be listed in both the registry and group policy physical stores, but I don't think there's anything we can do about that. I haven't tried actually rebuilding the WiX source with this change (since I don't have a build environment set up for it yet), but that's the next step. Anyone have any thoughts on this change? -Original Message- From: Chris Bardon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 1:53 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Certificate install to local machine fails withcode 26352 I've dug a little deeper into this, written some test code to try to debug the problem, and I've found something interesting. The CertAddCertificateContextToStore function is failing with Access Denied when trying to add the cert with CERT_STORE_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING, which is failing the installer. This only appears to fail if there are two copies of the same certificate in the store with the same serial number, which may or may not be left there from the installer as well (that's problem #2-problem #1 is not failing the installer in the first place). I tried manually checking the store for duplicates and deleting them before installing (with CertDeleteCertificateFromStore), but this returned Access denied as well. When I tried changing the parameter on the add function to use CERT_STORE_ADD_USE_EXISTING though, it worked without returning an error. It looks like the difference is that replace existing tries to do a delete first, while the use existing version updates the existing cert. The first question is, why is the delete failing? I have admin rights on the machine, and if there are 0 or 1 copies of the cert in the store, the operation works fine. The second question is, why should the certificate be duplicated in the first place? I tried writing code that used CERT_STORE_ADD_ALWAYS, but it still only left me with one copy of the certificate. Is it possible that a call to add a certificate with replacement is adding a new certificate without deleting the old one? Any experts in the crypto API here? If not, does anyone have any thoughts on where else I could look for answers? -Original Message- From: Chris Bardon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 2:51 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

[WiX-users] Found the perfect self-extracting executable maker
WinRAR! I've been using WinRAR for years as my main compressed archive viewer, but only just recently discovered it has support for creating self-extracting archives (SFX it calls them) as well! Not only that but it's by far the best out of all of the ones I've tried. Namely, it does everything I want, including: -silent execution (no dialogs) -ability to execute a file after extraction -ability to extract to the temp directory and clean up when done -customizable icon, and customizable dialogs if you do want them shown -choose whether the final exe requests elevation (specifically I wanted the ability to NOT request elevation, since most tools I used did this and I don't like it) ...and tons more. It has seven tabs of customization options for SFX's alone. All for a single-dev license of $29. I highly recommend it. The fee is well worth the self-extraction capabilities alone. Disclaimer: I don't work for, nor am I affiliated in any way with the WinRAR guys--I'm just so delighted I found it that I wanted to spread the word. Cheers, Logan - A.

Namely, it does everything I want, including: -silent execution (no dialogs) -ability to execute a file after extraction -ability to extract to the temp directory and clean up when done -customizable icon, and customizable dialogs if you do want them shown -choose whether the final exe requests elevation (specifically I wanted the ability to NOT request elevation, since most tools I used did this and I don't like it) ...and tons more.

[WiX-users] Fix an existing install prior to upgrade
I've got an issue with an old install on a system that we are upgrading. The issue is that one of the custom actions is depending on a property that is only available during a UI install and when an upgrade is performed the previous install is removed silently and the custom action fails because this value is not set. It looks like the previous install should have had this custom action conditioned to not run during an uninstall or we should have made the property available. Should we write a custom action to find the cached msi in the %WINDIR%\installer folder and use some MSI methods to Fix the issue in the old install? Any ideas?

You can work around this by applying a patch to the existing product before you upgrade it. The patch corrects the problem in the previous release before you upgrade it so that the upgrade proceeds properly. In your case, you can add code to have the property set correctly or you can adjust the custom action code itself or you can conditionalize the custom action not to run during an upgrade. If you have a bootstrapper, you can add code to your bootstrapper to ensure that the patch is applied before upgrading, or you can create manual instructions for applying the patch first. I did it through the bootstrapper that we already had so that I could guarantee the patch was applied if it wasn't already present. This isn't that hard to do, but its quite a bit of work if you don't already have a bootstrapper. -- 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
[WiX-users] Ongoing problems
Hello again, I've been tearing my hair out over the last week trying (but failing) to register a .Net assembly TypeLib in WiX 3 (so apologies if I sound frustrated). Heat only got half way - and even then I had to alter the output somewhat in order to get it to do the equivalent registry entries. However, this still failed to do the registration correctly. My reading around WiX registration of assemblies seems to suggest there's no easy solution to this (otherwise I'm sure I would have found it by now). If there is anyone out there that has succeeded in such a .net registration - please can you let me know what you did in order to get it to work. Anyway - the long and short of it is that as a short-term fix we've had to produce a Visual Studio 2008 setup project just to install the assembly and tlb file - and run this after the install of our WiX based product installer. Obviously this isn't ideal - but we cannot ship our product with a broken assembly registration (and we are unable to register it manually even using regasm /codebase /tlb). One thing that I do have now, is a complete .msi file that I can investigate to try and work out what's different between the WiX attempt at registration and a known working one. I've taken a brief look in orca - but was put off by the sheer number of things to check. My question is - how should I go about getting the know working parts from the working .MSI into WiX? Should I do it table-by-table? There are literally thousands of registry entries - so it could take a while. I'm happy to post any details that are required - or indeed the assembly itself if that would help. It's unfortunate that this has been a stumbling block - as I've been singing the praises of WiX having previously jettisoned the dreadful InstallShield.

Re: [WiX-users] Ongoing problems
1. Dark can convert an existing MSI into .wxs files. You may be able to use the -f switch to highly fragment everything and use the output as-is. It sounds like there is just a lot of registration that is necessary for these assemblies. 2. If you can, please file detailed bugs on heat.exe if it is missing things.

I have found a solution to the error: src\dtf\tools\sfxca\precomp.h(32) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open type library file: 'mscorlib.tlb': No such file or directory. If you add C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 to the path before running the build it should fix it.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Recent WIX sources will not build I have found the same and just haven't had time to document the problems. There are loads of files missing from the source download, I found the best thing to do was to get the CVS source as well and copy the required files from there and also search for files on your local system until it builds. Even then I couldn't get a full build to work but it got me far enough to look and the main console applications and extensions. To get the CVS source install CVSNT and then use these two commands - when it prompts for a password just hit enter: C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/wix login C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/wix co -P wix Good luck!

Re: [WiX-users] Problem in Upgrade scenario
If you schedule RemoveExistingProduct *after* InstallFinalize, major upgrade will touch only components where keypath is different. If you did not change your performance counters, they should not be uninstalled. Component will be upgraded regardless of UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE if keypath is different. The only use for UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is when you don't want custom action to run on upgrade.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem in Upgrade scenario
no alex I did not touch anything about the performance counters in the new upgraded msi even keypath is also same. but still it is uninstalling it. :( Can you give some other idea to implement this.

We are not planning to upgrade the config files and also database. 2) I have to modify complete binaries. 3) In the previous installation i am executing some custom actions to install performance counters using condition (Intalled at the time of uninstallation and Not Installed in the time of Installation). 4) Installing some assemblies in the GAC. Now In the Major Upgrade scenario i included UpgradeTable. In that OnlyDetect=no. For that I have to specify RemoveExistingProduct in the InstallExecuteScenario. If i specify RemoveExistingProduct after InstallInitialize it will remove complete product and also config files as well. So I can not specify this after this. If i specify RemoveExistingProduct after InstallFinalize then config files remains but performance counters got uninstalled.

Re: [WiX-users] Error 0x800706d9: failed to get firewall profile
I think you answered your own question. I imagine stopping the firewall
service makes it so you can't configure it in this way. Perhaps you can add a
ServiceControl element to ensure the firewall service is started (although I'm
not sure it would be guaranteed to be sequenced at the right time).

Hi All,
How do you grant permissions to a folder for a specific user if the user
happens to be the built in Network Service account?
I have tried:
Component Id=AssignDataDirectoryPermissionsGeneric
Guid=5A9D6D2B-CBA0-4E4C-8935-FACA2446256E
CreateFolder Directory=DataDirectory
util:PermissionEx CreateFile=yes GenericAll=yes Read=yes
ReadAttributes=yes WriteAttributes=yes User=NetworkService /
/CreateFolder
/Component
Component Id=AssignDataDirectoryPermissionsGeneric
Guid=5A9D6D2B-CBA0-4E4C-8935-FACA2446256E
CreateFolder Directory=DataDirectory
util:PermissionEx CreateFile=yes GenericAll=yes Read=yes
ReadAttributes=yes WriteAttributes=yes User=[SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER]
/
/CreateFolder
/Component
In this scenario SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER is equal to NT AUTHORITY\Network
Service.
Component Id=AssignDataDirectoryPermissionsGeneric
Guid=5A9D6D2B-CBA0-4E4C-8935-FACA2446256E
CreateFolder Directory=DataDirectory
util:PermissionEx CreateFile=yes GenericAll=yes Read=yes
ReadAttributes=yes WriteAttributes=yes
Domain=[SQLSERVERSERVICEDOMAIN] User=[SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER] /
/CreateFolder
/Component
In this scenario SQLSERVERSERVICEDOMAIN = NT AUTHORITY and
SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER = Network Service.
Component Id=AssignDataDirectoryPermissionsGeneric
Guid=5A9D6D2B-CBA0-4E4C-8935-FACA2446256E
CreateFolder Directory=DataDirectory
util:PermissionEx CreateFile=yes GenericAll=yes Read=yes
ReadAttributes=yes WriteAttributes=yes Domain=[ComputerName]
User=[SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER] /
/CreateFolder
/Component
In this scenario SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER = NT AUTHORITY\Network Service
Rather than just keep trying, does anyone know the answer to this one?

The problem that we're hitting is that it appears that the WiX custom action is throwing a dialog - any way to suppress that dialog?

I imagine stopping the firewall service makes it so you can't configure it in this way. Perhaps you can add a ServiceControl element to ensure the firewall service is started (although I'm not sure it would be guaranteed to be sequenced at the right time). It might cross the line to rudeness to turn on the firewall if a user turned it off. If the firewall custom actions can't connect to the firewall service, it will prompt (if the UI level supports it).

Re: [WiX-users] How to access WixSqlExtension.dll
I am running candle command and I have used sql component in my WXS file. Due to this I am using -ext switch and after that giving the path of 'WixSqlExtension.dll'. But I am getting error CNDL0103 error. If I am working directly in Wix bin directory and giving only 'WixSqlExtension.dll' (with out path), candle command is executing perfectly. You don't say what version you're running, but any chance it's related to: https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detailaid=2167181group_id=105970atid=642714 For example, we had to resort to using $(WixToolPath)WixSqlExtension.dll instead of ..\Tools\WiX\Bin\WixSqlExtension.dll to get Wix building in both VS and from MSBuild in command line. This sucks because we now have to ensure every developer has the correct Wix version installed, and in the same place, whereas until recently relative pathing was working and we could version control the extensions inside the solution. - 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] grant permissions on a folder to a specific user ifthe user happens to be NT AUTHORITY\Network Service
Hello Amy,
I actually use [ComputerName]\iis_wpg this is IIS Working Process Group of
which network service is a member. Although that said, this group only exists
if IIS is an installed windows component. This covers, system, network
service, local service and I think Aspnet.

Thanks Ian, but I need to add to permissions on the directory rather
than reset them altogether.
Does anyone else know what values I would need to use for user and
domain in the PermissionEx element to get permissions assigned to that
directory for NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE?
Just as an FYI, I am using wix v3 and I have tried empty domain with
Network Service based on Ian's suggestion and empty domain with
NetworkService based on several other postings on this site to no
avail. Is anyone else able to get this to work?
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me.

Here is code from an installer I have that works for me:
Component Id=CID_Logs Guid={837A1B74-98C9-4042-B51D-58F38448CE46}
Location=local DiskId=1
CreateFolder
Permission GenericAll=yes User=Administrators /

Hi All,
How do you grant permissions to a folder for a specific user if the user
happens to be the built in Network Service account?
I have tried:
Component Id=AssignDataDirectoryPermissionsGeneric
Guid=5A9D6D2B-CBA0-4E4C-8935-FACA2446256E
CreateFolder Directory=DataDirectory
util:PermissionEx CreateFile=yes GenericAll=yes Read=yes
ReadAttributes=yes WriteAttributes=yes User=NetworkService /
/CreateFolder
/Component
Component Id=AssignDataDirectoryPermissionsGeneric
Guid=5A9D6D2B-CBA0-4E4C-8935-FACA2446256E
CreateFolder Directory=DataDirectory
util:PermissionEx CreateFile=yes GenericAll=yes Read=yes
ReadAttributes=yes WriteAttributes=yes User=[SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER]
/
/CreateFolder
/Component
In this scenario SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER is equal to NT AUTHORITY\Network
Service.
Component Id=AssignDataDirectoryPermissionsGeneric
Guid=5A9D6D2B-CBA0-4E4C-8935-FACA2446256E
CreateFolder Directory=DataDirectory
util:PermissionEx CreateFile=yes GenericAll=yes Read=yes
ReadAttributes=yes WriteAttributes=yes
Domain=[SQLSERVERSERVICEDOMAIN] User=[SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER] /
/CreateFolder
/Component
In this scenario SQLSERVERSERVICEDOMAIN = NT AUTHORITY and
SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER = Network Service.
Component Id=AssignDataDirectoryPermissionsGeneric
Guid=5A9D6D2B-CBA0-4E4C-8935-FACA2446256E
CreateFolder Directory=DataDirectory
util:PermissionEx CreateFile=yes GenericAll=yes Read=yes
ReadAttributes=yes WriteAttributes=yes Domain=[ComputerName]
User=[SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER] /
/CreateFolder
/Component
In this scenario SQLSERVERSERVICEUSER = NT AUTHORITY\Network Service
Rather than just keep trying, does anyone know the answer to this one?
Thanks,
Amy
