Things *might* also get confused if a CustomAction is modifying the Directory.


PS:  Directory/@Name="." is the same as not having the Directory/@Name.

In that case, something is definitely wrong. Uninstall should work
from any install location without your intervention.

You had said that we were both doing the same thing, but your
directory table is not the same as mine. You have:

Re: [WiX-users] Reinstall a component during "Change" install

[Gavin Bee]

Would doing the following work?
* Create a feature that contains all of the components that you might want
to reinstall
* Set REINSTALL=FeatureX during a "Change" install
* Add conditions to the components that cause them to be included (or not)
depending on the appropriate feature states.  This might be hard if you
already have component conditions.

This seems like it should work to me, but I have not tried it. 

Hope that helps,
Gavin :)

Subject: [WiX-users] Reinstall a component during "Change" install

I am trying to reinstall some components when the user does a "Change".

The issue discussed in this thread
http://n2.nabble.com/Always-Reinstall-a-Component-td1483743.html
is similar to my situation, but I have one extra "twist" to my problem.

My problem is that I have two features and need to set REINSTALL based on
which of the two features are selected.

I have custom actions defined like this;
  
  
  

and sequenced like this;
  !FeatureOne=3
AND !FeatureTwo=3 AND NOT REINSTALL
  !FeatureOne=3 AND NOT REINSTALL 
  !FeatureTwo=3 AND NOT REINSTALL 

However, when I run a "Change" install, I get;
  MSI (s) (30:94) [14:38:40:428]: Skipping action: Both_SetREINSTALL
(condition is false)
  MSI (s) (30:94) [14:38:40:428]: Skipping action: Feat1_SetREINSTALL
(condition is false)
  MSI (s) (30:94) [14:38:40:428]: Skipping action: Feat2_SetREINSTALL
(condition is false)

It appears that I'm in a Catch-22 here.  If I sequence my custom actions
after CostFinalize, then my conditions work (referencing the install state
of the features) correctly.  Unfortunately, at that point, changing
REINSTALL seems to have no effect since the costing is complete.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can resolve this?

Thanks,
Dale

[WiX-users] Working on WIX Patch with Team Build

[sajid]

I have gone through the WIX examples on creating msp file and it works great.
(http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx)

In the other hand, I have my solution containing large number of projects
and different configurations scheduled to build using TFS Team Build service
and packging an MSI through WIX, which also works great.

TFS(Team Build) -> WIX(Votive) -> Msi

But I am left with no clue integrating patches with Team Build. Is there a
way to make it easier with Team Build? 
What is the best practice in creating patches using WIX and Team Build? Is
there a common solution out there that I can re-use? 

Please suggest.

Re: [WiX-users] Executing a PowerShell Script as Custom Action

[Castro, Edwin (Hillsboro)]

I was successful with the following:








Installed AND NOT 
REINSTALL


The downside to this approach is that a command window shows up during 
uninstall. On the other hand the script gets executed properly.

I was hoping to use something like the following:









Installed AND NOT 
REINSTALL
Installed AND NOT 
REINSTALL


This second style should execute powershell without showing the command window 
which would be ideal.

Both the MSI and the target server are 32-bit. I don't think I'm having a 
64-bit issue.

Hi Edwin,

I've run into this same problem.  If I remember correctly, it was because I had 
a 64-bit install but the version of powershell that was being executed was 
32-bit (or the other way around).

I know I ended up creating a vbscript custom action which I marked with 
Win64="yes".  Then this picked up the correct version (64-bit in my case) of 
powershell.

Here's a snippet of my script.  The syntax for calling powershell scripts from 
cmd.exe is a bit tricky so I've included it.

  cmdshell = "cmd.exe /c "
  cmd = cmdshell & "echo " & action & " agents in Microsoft Exchange.  This may 
take several minutes... & powershell.exe -Command " & chr(34) &  ". " & chr(39) 
& script_dir & "AgentMain.ps1" & chr(39) & " " & action & chr(34)
  ret = oShell.Run(cmd,1,true)
  ' ret is kind of useless here since Powershell doesn't seem to propogate it's 
exit status to cmd.exe


Hope this helps.
Dale

OK, I think I'm a little confused here.  Are you having problems
getting the property updated when the user edits the text in the
control, or having problems getting the control updated when the
property's value is changed?

For the latter, you'll have to do the "two dialog trick" as has been
discussed here recently.

It occurs to me that you might be able to fake it out by hiding and
then unhiding the control.  That might force it to update its text
from the property.

[WiX-users] Is it possible to set LongName attribute to a Property value?

[Greg Silin]

Hi,

Is it possible to set the Direction element LongName attribute to a property 
value?

I have the following (excerpts):



Then I try to set a Directory LongName to the Property value.

  
...



Unfortunately, it doesn't resolve to the property value during deployment.  Is 
LongName expected to always be hard coded?

Thanks

[WiX-users] Executing a PowerShell Script as Custom Action

[Castro, Edwin (Hillsboro)]

I'm trying to execute a powershell script as custom action and I see the 
powershell.exe process starts but then it appears to be doing nothing. Here's 
an example:


  






  Installed AND NOT 
REINSTALL
  Installed AND NOT 
REINSTALL


I would expect powershell to print a value to its console and exit quickly. 
Instead, powershell.exe appears to hang until terminated manually. Am I doing 
something wrong?

[WiX-users] How to Schedule a Custom Action to Execute First Only During Uninstall

[Castro, Edwin (Hillsboro)]

I'm trying to schedule a custom action to execute before any other steps occur

  Installed AND 
NOT REINSTALL
   Installed AND NOT 
REINSTALL


I think my conditions are correct but I don't know if the Before attribute for 
CACmdLine is set to an appropriate value. I'd like to execute both actions 
above before any steps occur at uninstall time as I'm using resources that will 
be removed during install. Where in the help can I find the information I'm 
trying to find?

Re: [WiX-users] strange behavior of Localized display name for shortcuts

[Rob Mensching]

Wow, sounds like a really crazy behavior in Windows Explorer.

Subject: [WiX-users] strange behavior of Localized display name for shortcuts

I guess this is more of an operating system problem than a WiX / MSI one but
lets see if anyone else has hit it.

Scenario-1

1. Shortcut  created in a sub folder of 'Start menu' called 'xyz.lnk'. The
'Name' column for this shortcut is localized (i.e. transformed via language
transforms). Also, the DisplayResourceDLL & DisplayDescriptionResourceDLL
fields are populated to point to mui resource dlls.
2. The package is installed on Vista, under MUI with the display language in
an east asian language (e.g zh-TW ) - with the system setting for 'language
for non-unicode applications' set to the corresponding language (Chinese
Traditional ) In this case, once installed, the shortcut appears correctly
in traditional chinese, and so does the tooltip. However, upon switching the
display language to English, the shortcut name remains in traditional
chinese (but the description switches correctly).


If the above scenario is repeated, without changing the 'language for non
unicode applications' modified (i.e. left to English), the problem does not
occur. Also, if the installation is done in a non east asian language before
switching to English, the problem again, does not occur.

Further investigation of this led to the 'desktop.ini' file that was created
under the sub-folder of Start Menu, which appeared to have some encoding
errors when pointing to the localized shortcut file name ( "立即建立家庭電影.lnk"
appeared as "立即建立家庭電?影.lnk" - i.e. the extra question mark). Furthermore,
the desktop.ini file was an 'ANSI' file. After manually creating this file
in Unicode and writing the same entries, the shortcut display name switched
correctly with MUI.

Lastly, I tried using the SHSetLocalizedName api defined in "shlapi.h" -
which i assume is the same one used internally by windows installer - to
link up shortcut file to a resource dll (under the same conditions as
described above in Scenario-1) - and the entry in the desktop.ini again
appeared corrupted, which led to the display name not switching correctly
with MUI.


*any ideas*?

btw: the obvious workaround for this problem would agreeably be to create
the shortcut file with an english name and then point it to the resource
dll, however - this mechanism will not work for XP since the MUI redirection
is not available.

Re: [WiX-users] multiple license agreements in one installer?

[Roger Yen]

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I will be going with the custom
action route. 

Now, I'd like to fill the combo box through reading from an INI file or
something similar, and I was wondering if it's possible to have the INI
file in the msi and still be able to be accessed during install time? Or
it's required to be separated from the msi?

Thank you,

Roger Yen

If you're willing to tackle custom UI, I think you could create
several superimposed memo controls with conditions to hide or show the
one with the right license per the selected language. If you wanted to
fetch the text on the fly that would absolutely require a custom
action as Rob says, and probably a dialog transition, but if you can
include them all directly it might work without any custom actions.

It can. If you need a property value to run a custom action, for 
example, you need to store it in the registry and use a RegistrySearch 
to restore it. Otherwise, MSI knows where it installed components and 
will remove them without that extra information.

Re: [WiX-users] Certificate install to local machine failswith code 26352

Your CustomAction is not deferred and will fail if the installation is not 
elevated.  Have you tried running it deferred?  Maybe that is the problem we're 
having... the deferred CustomAction server isn't impersonating for us 
appropriately.

26352

Very strange-I thought that would fix the problem.  I created a custom
action to install my certificate, and that was the only really major
change that I made.  Here's the source for my CA:

UINT __stdcall InstallCertificate(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
//install a cert into the local machine store
LPWSTR certPath=new WCHAR[MAX_PATH];
DWORD dwSize=MAX_PATH;
UINT rc=MsiGetProperty(hInstall,TEXT("CERTPATH"), certPath,
&dwSize );

HCERTSTORE hCertStore;

//open the root CA store
hCertStore = CertOpenStore(CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM, 0, NULL,
CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE , L"Root");

DWORD dwCertSize=8192; //wix used a 64Mb buffer
BYTE* certBuffer=new BYTE[dwCertSize];
memset(certBuffer,0,dwCertSize);
FILE* f=_wfopen(certPath,TEXT("r"));
if(f==NULL)
return ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND;

CERT_BLOB blob = { 0 };


fread(certBuffer,sizeof(BYTE),dwCertSize,f);
blob.cbData = dwCertSize;
blob.pbData = certBuffer;

PCCERT_CONTEXT pNewContext = NULL;
DWORD dwEncodingType;
DWORD dwContentType;
DWORD dwFormatType;


CryptQueryObject(CERT_QUERY_OBJECT_BLOB, &blob,
CERT_QUERY_CONTENT_FLAG_ALL, CERT_QUERY_FORMAT_FLAG_ALL, 0,
&dwEncodingType, &dwContentType, &dwFormatType, NULL,
NULL, (LPCVOID*)&pNewContext);
if(pNewContext)
{
//install the certificate
//strange-replace existing fails, but use existing
works.  Replace does a delete though, so perhaps that's why?
if(!CertAddCertificateContextToStore(hCertStore,
pNewContext, CERT_STORE_ADD_USE_EXISTING, NULL))
//if(!CertAddCertificateContextToStore(hCertStore,
pNewContext, CERT_STORE_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING, NULL))
{
DWORD dwErr=GetLastError();
return dwErr;
}
}
//close the store
CertCloseStore(hCertStore, 0);
delete certBuffer;
delete certPath;
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}

And then I just run it in my installer like this:


  CERTPATH AND NOT REMOVE


So far, everything seems to work, so all I really have to do is tighten
up a couple of things in the CA source.  Any idea why my code works, but
the code in iisextension doesn't?  If I change the line that installs
the cert to the one that's commented out, it gives me the same error as
the one I logged.

Why don't you include the EXE and the DLL as well in the Binary table ? If your 
file is only needed for maintenance (install, repair, uninstall), then do not 
deploy it.

If I remember correctly, all files in the Binary table are extracted to the

Well, I think I didn´t point my problem exactly.

I´ve got an EXE which ist only needed during install, uninstall or modify
process. My first idea was -of course- to do a CustomAction with BinaryKey.
But :
1. the EXE requires a dll and I don´t know how to refer to that.
2. I´m not shure if my EXE is still available if the Setup.msi is removed
from the system.

So I decided to install the EXE plus dll and use FileKey. Works good, but on
uninstall nothing happens or - other case - the compiler shows me an error
"Unresolved reference". Just depending on when I set the CA
Before='LaunchCondition' or After='InstallFinalize' or something between but
I didn´t check everything out.

Thanks, Michael

Hi All!

We're executing several custom actions after files installed (from custom

Sometimes custom action returns ActionResult.Failure but installation continues 
like there was no error.

Questions:

1.  Why installation continue even if custom action return ActionResult.Failure?

2.   How is this possible to roll back installation if custom action fails?

I am recieiving several errors from Light.exe saying "error LGHT0216 : An

package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service.  You must
install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows

Does anyone have any tips as to what the problem might be?  This is only
happening on the build machines for our product, and the build guys tells me
that we have the newest version of Windows Installer installed on the

[WiX-users] ServiceControl tips request. (remove a service)

[BUNYAN, Marc (WGMS)]

 
Hi,

 

Apologies in advance if I'm posting in the wrong section (let me know
and I'll post in the right place!) J

 

Im trying to write my first wix script to make a few changes to a bit of
software on our network; this requires a service to be stopped and
removed - Im a little confused on the best method to stop and remove a
service on a pc though.

 

I've added the line below as an attempt to do this; I'm probably way off
the mark however.

 



 

Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks again,

Re: [WiX-users] FileSharePermission for NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService User

[Amy Rosewater]

Hi Chris,

Network Service is one of the users that has a special string name which
you must use to refer to it in your wxs.  I have the following which has
worked for me (notice there is not a domain specified). 



I believe the same syntax would work for the PermissionEx element, but
the timing of execution of those two actions is very different so
beware.

[WiX-users] Custom action failing causing premature end...

[hegsie]

Hi,
I Have a custom action that occasionally fails as below...

[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult InstallCP(Session session)
{
try
{
session.Log("Begin InstallModernCP");
   CPInstaller DCInstaller = new CPInstaller();

if (DCInstaller.InstallClientProcess())
{
session.Log("Returning Success from custom action
InstallModernCP");
return ActionResult.Success;
}
else
{
session.Log("Returning Failure from custom action
InstallModernCP");
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
}
catch (System.Exception e)
{
Record rec = new Record(1);
rec.SetString(1, "Failed to add client process to the
Datacenter: [" + e.Message + "]");
session.Message(InstallMessage.Error, rec);
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
}

but when it fails the install doesn't rollback everything it simply
exits and sets the dialog to something saying 'Setup ended
prematurely'...

Whats wrong with this CA?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action Setting a Control value

[Chris Matthews]

No because the focus is already lost as I have clicked on the  push
button to fire the custom action the edit control never updates. It is a
bit annoying, but I will code round it by setting the edit control to
disabled and allow the user to edit the property from within the custom
action, but it would have been nice to do it the right way.

The property associated with an edit control is updated when the focus
leaves the edit control.  Is that consistent with what you're seeing?

Re: [WiX-users] Certificate install to local machine failswith code 26352

[Chris Bardon]

Very strange-I thought that would fix the problem.  I created a custom
action to install my certificate, and that was the only really major
change that I made.  Here's the source for my CA:

UINT __stdcall InstallCertificate(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
//install a cert into the local machine store
LPWSTR certPath=new WCHAR[MAX_PATH];
DWORD dwSize=MAX_PATH;
UINT rc=MsiGetProperty(hInstall,TEXT("CERTPATH"), certPath,
&dwSize );

HCERTSTORE hCertStore;  

//open the root CA store
hCertStore = CertOpenStore(CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM, 0, NULL,
CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE , L"Root");

DWORD dwCertSize=8192; //wix used a 64Mb buffer
BYTE* certBuffer=new BYTE[dwCertSize];
memset(certBuffer,0,dwCertSize);
FILE* f=_wfopen(certPath,TEXT("r"));
if(f==NULL)
return ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND;

CERT_BLOB blob = { 0 };


fread(certBuffer,sizeof(BYTE),dwCertSize,f);
blob.cbData = dwCertSize;
blob.pbData = certBuffer;

PCCERT_CONTEXT pNewContext = NULL;
DWORD dwEncodingType;
DWORD dwContentType;
DWORD dwFormatType;


CryptQueryObject(CERT_QUERY_OBJECT_BLOB, &blob,
CERT_QUERY_CONTENT_FLAG_ALL, CERT_QUERY_FORMAT_FLAG_ALL, 0, 
&dwEncodingType, &dwContentType, &dwFormatType, NULL,
NULL, (LPCVOID*)&pNewContext);
if(pNewContext)
{
//install the certificate
//strange-replace existing fails, but use existing
works.  Replace does a delete though, so perhaps that's why?
if(!CertAddCertificateContextToStore(hCertStore,
pNewContext, CERT_STORE_ADD_USE_EXISTING, NULL))
//if(!CertAddCertificateContextToStore(hCertStore,
pNewContext, CERT_STORE_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING, NULL))
{
DWORD dwErr=GetLastError();
return dwErr;
}
}   
//close the store
CertCloseStore(hCertStore, 0);
delete certBuffer;
delete certPath;
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}

And then I just run it in my installer like this:


  CERTPATH AND NOT REMOVE


So far, everything seems to work, so all I really have to do is tighten
up a couple of things in the CA source.  Any idea why my code works, but
the code in iisextension doesn't?  If I change the line that installs
the cert to the one that's commented out, it gives me the same error as
the one I logged.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action Setting a Control value

I have now removed the Subscribe and the field still updates. So yes it
looks like the ICEs aren't validating the Event Column in EventMapping.
The one annoying thing is that if I set the Edit Control to enabled and
edited before the custom action is run then the updated property doesn't
make it into the control.

See, I'm thinking that even if you did need to subscribe to a property
change event, that the syntax would be more like
Event="[LFM_SERVER_ROOT]" like it is in the Publish element and not
Event="LFM_SERVER_ROOT".  It sounds to me like the ICEs aren't
checking the valid values of the Event column for the EventMapping
table.

Re: [WiX-users] How can I get the correct INSTALLDIR at the beginning of uninstall?

[Jianjun An (Person Consulting)]

The problem is my MSI cannot remove the components if user changed default 
install path which I did not save it into registry.

The context about this problem is in the attachment.

Thanks

What do you need it for? MSI will automatically remove the components it
installs.

Hi All!

We're executing several custom actions after files installed (from custom 
action we're registering some files and doing other things)

  
  




Sometimes custom action returns ActionResult.Failure but installation continues 
like there was no error.

Questions:

1.  Why installation continue even if custom action return ActionResult.Failure?

2.   How is this possible to roll back installation if custom action fails?

Thanks!
