2008/11/3 Pally Sandher [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I know there is a long-winded way of doing this which bloats my MSI by having duplicates of the files in it but I was wondering if there's any easier/cleaner way of achieving the same thing. Basically I have 2 directories which are set by RegistrySearch Properties which, depending on whether the RegistrySearches are successful, will have the same files installed to one or crucially both. ... ... There is nothing other than Files in my components. The user could have either only the first app installed, only the second app installed or both installed. I know I could take a copy of the lower fragment modify all the Id's so that it will install to the 2nd Plugins directory but I'd be much happier if I could do this without having to (unnecessarily) include 2 copies of every file in the MSI. I think having a component in 2 places in the same installer isn't allowed by the component rules but is there any way to have a file in 2 components? If anyone has any ideas it'd be most appreciated. Thanks, Search Wix doc for CopyFile element. Use conditions and properties.

Re: [WiX-users] Service installation using specified user / password.
Never mind... Problem located. Yes, I *had* flipped the bozo bit... Big time! When I finally did a completely clean build today things suddenly started working... So I poked around in the bad msi file I still had available. The username, domain and password were all getting set correctly by the UI. Unfortunately, between that point and the time the services were installed the domain had been modified (by an action from a referenced WixLib where I had been trying something, then taken it back out, but apparently failed to rebuild the WixLib). What is even more embarrassing is that the proof was all there in the verbose log file, but because I knew I'd taken it out I didn't even look for it. Sorry for increasing the noise level on here.

[WiX-users] Using Heat to Generate COM Interop registration code
Hi there,
I have used heat to generate the XML code to register a COM interop
assembly.
The problem is when compiling in Visual Studio using Votive on WIX3 I
get the error:
The Class/@Server attribute was not found
When inspecting the XML, there is as suggested no Server attribute on my
Class tag:
Component Id=Runtime.COM.ImmediacyManager.dll.Component
Guid={3D8D8BE9-6136-4EFD-BE4D-E017E09C287D}

Context=InprocServer32 Description=VBPropertyBag
ThreadingModel=apartment /
File Id=Runtime.COM.ImmediacyManager.dll.File
Name=ImmediacyManager.dll KeyPath=yes
Source=Q:\CMS\ImmediacyManager.dll
Class Id={E0BB07B0-7902-4BEF-9A96-1083B09DFC5E}
Context=InprocServer32 Description=Immediacy.License

ProgId Id=Immediacy.License
Description=Immediacy.License /
/Class
/File
(...interface and registry tags removed so as not to take up too much
space in this e-mail)
I realise this is a well known bug in heat that currently isn't fixed.
All I want to know is, in my circumstance, what should the Server
attribute value be set to? Looking at the documentation it says the File
ID, but in my case there is no associated File id.
Thanks,
Dan

Phil, Thanks for your replies. 1. Our suite has several components, some are command line applications. So displaying the license at the first usage like Acrobat will not work for us. 2. Command line installation will help us auto-testing our installer. It will also enable our customers to do batch installation on many machines overnight. 3. Given this EULA flag, we are going to provide a printout and a website for them to read the license first.

Re: [WiX-users] One patch to rule them all
Chad, I may not be fully understanding your requirements, but it sounds like you want to create a patch that does not patch every file in the installer? I have not yet tried to create patches with WIX, I still use msimsp to create patches with a .pcp file for the input, so I cant tell you the WIX way to create the patch that ignores this file, but I assume this process will work for both since it is outside the patch creation process. What you can do is to create your Target image and your Upgrade image, and then simply delete the file that you don't want patched from the administrative Upgrade image and it won't be included in the patch. You do not need to modify your installer .msi in any way, or change the .pcp to ignore the file. Just deleting the file from disk in the administrative Upgrade image will prevent it from being included in the patch. -Original Message- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 10:28 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] One patch to rule them all
Oh no, I'm not asking for help. I was offering a few suggestions to the original poster. Baselining the msi is the way we do it, and do a diff/patch validation between the baselined msi and a daily msi. Thanks though.

Re: [WiX-users] Service installation using specified user / password.
I suspect Rob's point is that you think that's what you're doing but somewhere the property names are not exactly correct. For example, are all those spaces after AdminUser an artifact of your email (or the log) or does it really have lots of spaces at the end? The ErrLook.exe program in Visual Studio (in Common7\Tools on my system) will tell you what the error means, if that's what you're asking.

Re: [WiX-users] Why doesn't Windows Installer remove the oldversion in an upgrade?
Hi,
I found a way to solve the problem:
1. Supressing FindRelatedProducts in the InstallUISequence
InstallUISequence
FindRelatedProducts Suppress=yes /
/InstallUISequence
2. Executing FindRelatedProducts when the Next button is clicked in the
install scope dialog:
Control Id=Next Type=PushButton X=236 Y=243 Width=56 Height=17
Default=yes Text=!(loc.WixUINext)
Publish Property=ALLUSERS Value={}WixAppFolder =
PerUser/Publish
Publish Property=ALLUSERS Value=1WixAppFolder =
PerMachine/Publish
Publish Event=DoAction Value=FindRelatedProducts1/Publish
/Control
3. Disable the Back button on the following page, because
FindRelatedProducts is only executed teh first time it is called.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your answer, I totally understand that upgrading across
contexts doesn't make much sense. However, that is not my problem. Maybe I
wasn't specific enough with my explanation, so here is my scenario (pretty
much a standard setup scenario IMHO):
The setup is similar to the Advanced setup of Wix 3.0, i.e. it offers a
page where the user can select whether to install per-user or per-machine
(like in InstallScopeDlg.wxs in the UIExtension).
1. ALLUSERS is initially empty, thus per-user is the default
2. User installs per-machine by selecting the option in InstallScopeDlg
(which sets ALLUSERS = 1)
3. User updgrades to newer version, the previous version should be
removed.
4. FindRelatedProducts runs before the user makes the selection in
InstallScopeDlg, i.e. FindRelatedProducts searches for per-user
installations and ignores the per-machine installation
5. User again selects a per-machine setup in the UI.
6. The previous per-machine installation will not be removed, although the
new installation is NOT across context.
The behaviour I would like to have is that FindRelatedProducts runs AFTER
the user selected the install scope, i.e. step 4 and 5 above should be
swapped so that in step 6 the previous installation in the SAME context is
removed.
I guess that this is somehow possible but I don't know how to specify the
install sequences so that it works (and the WiX compiles).
If anyone could help me with this problem I would be really thankful,
Best Regards,
Dirk Vollmar

Generally, the answer is: Don't. It relies on the user choosing the same
type of install as the prior version. Major upgrades don't work across
contexts.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom action with elevated privileges doesn't work
If I'm reading this correctly you are trying to launch an exe (which the program installed) before InstallFinalize. I'm not sure if that will work. The recommended way is to launch at the very end using an immediate custom action. -Original Message- From: Wilson, Phil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 10:27 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

I have three custom actions which I need to be executed. Two of them are in a 'dll' and don't require elevated privileges in Windows Vista and so I am executing them in Immediate mode. The third one is the main executable of our product, which I want to be run after the installation and with elevated privileges. So, to provide elevated privileges I need to specify Execute='deferred' and Impersonate='no'. So, I am doing just that. I am also scheduling the action before 'InstallFinalize'. On doing so, the product is getting installed correctly and also the executable is getting executed with elevated privileges. But, just before closing down, the MSI is generating an error 2762 which means the deferred custom action needs to be scheduled between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize. But, I am doing just that and still its producing that error message. Please let me know what should I do to stop getting that error message. Thanks.

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 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.

Re: [WiX-users] Why doesn't Windows Installer remove the oldversion in an upgrade?
Hi Bob, Thanks for your answer, I totally understand that upgrading across contexts doesn't make much sense. However, that is not my problem. Maybe I wasn't specific enough with my explanation, so here is my scenario (pretty much a standard setup scenario IMHO): The setup is similar to the Advanced setup of Wix 3.0, i.e. it offers a page where the user can select whether to install per-user or per-machine (like in InstallScopeDlg.wxs in the UIExtension). 1. ALLUSERS is initially empty, thus per-user is the default 2. User installs per-machine by selecting the option in InstallScopeDlg (which sets ALLUSERS = 1) 3. User updgrades to newer version, the previous version should be removed. 4. FindRelatedProducts runs before the user makes the selection in InstallScopeDlg, i.e. FindRelatedProducts searches for per-user installations and ignores the per-machine installation 5. User again selects a per-machine setup in the UI. 6. The previous per-machine installation will not be removed, although the new installation is NOT across context. The behaviour I would like to have is that FindRelatedProducts runs AFTER the user selected the install scope, i.e. step 4 and 5 above should be swapped so that in step 6 the previous installation in the SAME context is removed. I guess that this is somehow possible but I don't know how to specify the install sequences so that it works (and the WiX compiles). If anyone could help me with this problem I would be really thankful, Best Regards, Dirk Vollmar Bob Arnson-6 wrote: divo wrote: I am facing the exact same problem, i.e. FindRelatedProducts happens long before the user is asked to choose the installation scope in the UI. Generally, the answer is: Don't. It relies on the user choosing the same type of install as the prior version. Major upgrades don't work across contexts. -- 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 -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Re%3A-Why-doesn%27t-Windows-Installer-remove-the-oldversion-in-an-upgrade--tp692400p1453938.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=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

What you can do is to create your Target image and your Upgrade image, and then simply delete the file that you don't want patched from the administrative Upgrade image and it won't be included in the patch. You do not need to modify your installer .msi in any way, or change the .pcp to ignore the file.

[WiX-users] Help : Creating MSM file to be run through VS msi
Hi , I need to create an msm file (using Wix) with shortcuts on the programFileMenu. The problem is that the client for this msm is a Visual Studio MSI project. in VS there is the issue of retargetable folder. When i am creating basic msm using Wix i am able to create a shortcut but when i am putting the msm into the VS MSI project i dont have the ability (in the property area) to change the Retagetable to give to my msm. 1. I will be glad if any one of you will send me a Template of such msm that consider the issue of Retargetable . (I know some how that i need to use a custom action ? ! ? - I also know that TARGETDIR is retargetable with the TARGETDIR of the msi host - still its not used for me) 2. What about the shortcut ? can i also have a way to control the place of the shortcuts that i am defining in the msm from the msi ? mybe pass a variable or something . . .) ? please i need real examples for that .

Re: [WiX-users] Error 2753 on Merge Module...
You typically get this error when you try to call a custom action that refers to a file in the MSI, but that file is not actually installed because (for example) there is a higher version of the file already on the system. In your case, you have a custom action that refers to a file that isn't being installed because the feature selection omits it. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: John D.

I'm pretty certain... It's the same user, domain and password as I log in with before performing the installation! Forgive my ignorance, but where did you look to determine that error code 0x8007007b meant invalid name? All the searches I performed on that error code led me to things which were either a) apparently Vista specific (the install also fails under Windows XP, SP2), b) related to IIS (which shouldn't be related to my problem), or appeared to be irrelevant because they were referring to other non installation related products.

Re: [WiX-users] registry permissions on new groups
I'm still having trouble with this.
Say I create a group called Group A. Now, if I want to add permissions for
this group to a registry key, what would the PermissionEx tag look like?
Here is one I have tried:
Component Id=CID_blah Guid={some guid} DiskId=1
RegistryKey Id=RID_blah Root=HKLM Key=some key Action=create
RegistryValue Id=RVID_blah Name=blah Value=blah Type=string
Action=write/
util:PermissionEx Read=yes User=Group A/
/RegistryKey
/Component
I get the error:
ExecSecureObjects: Error 0x80070534: failed to get sid for account: Group A
I know that the account gets created because I don't have a rollback CA and
after rollback, the account is present. I also can see if verbose log file that
the CA that creates the account occurs before ExecSecureObjects.
Thanks,
Ian

Re: [WiX-users] Debugging a DTF Managed Custom Action
There is a way using Environment variables to set a breakpoint, but I've found that to be more trouble than it's worth. You can put a call at the beginning of your CA to MessageBox.Show, and then when that pops up, you can attach to the process then. Make sure you attach to the CA managed process, not the installer process.

With regular managed custom actions I can attach directly to the process running the custom action and step through the code.

Re: [WiX-users] Autogen GUIDs for components
Auto-generated Component GUIDs are still a bit experimental although they are growing on me. The limitations are in place because that is how the WiX toolset ensures that the GUID is stable and unique. -Original Message- From: Brownfield, Cory M. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 14:46 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Autogen GUIDs for components I'm using WiX version 3.0.4617.0. A component can have its GUID defined like this : Guid=* if under a standard directory. Here's a portion of the error message returned when trying to install to a nonstandard location: Since this path is not rooted in one of the standard directories (like ProgramFilesFolder), this component does not fit the criteria for having an automatically generated guid. The documentation seems to lack any mention of autogenerated GUIDs for components, so I was hoping someone could help me understand the standard directories restriction. - 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
