[WiX-users] wix and xsd
I'm currently working on a project to automate the creation of wix
files. I ran xsd on the wix.xsd to create a wix.cs file. Most of it
seems to be working as expected except for the use of enums. In
particular the YesNoType:
In the wix.xsd file:
xs:simpleType name=YesNoType
xs:annotationxs:documentationValues of this type will either
be yes or no./xs:documentation/xs:annotation
xs:restriction base='xs:NMTOKEN'
xs:enumeration value=no/
xs:enumeration value=yes/
/xs:restriction
/xs:simpleType
In the cs file:
/// remarks/
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute(xsd, 2.0.50727.42)]
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace=http://schemas.mic
rosoft.com/wix/2006/wi)]
public enum YesNoType {
/// remarks/
no,
/// remarks/
yes,
}
I'm able to create the type and set the value though when serializing
the enum never shows. For example IncludeMinimium=yes would be
omitted, when writing out UpgradeVersion. Someone suggested adding
use=required to your xs:attribute or xs:element definition
xs:simpleType name=YesNoType use=required
xs:annotationxs:documentationValues of this type will either
be yes or no./xs:documentation/xs:annotation
xs:restriction base='xs:NMTOKEN'
xs:enumeration value=no/
xs:enumeration value=yes/
/xs:restriction
/xs:simpleType
though if I try this I get:
Schema validation warning: The
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi:attribu
te' element is not supported in this context. Line 9628, position 2.
Error: Schema c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\wix.xsd
could not be validated
I've also seen examples like the following:
attribute name='required' use='optional' default='true'
simpleType
restriction base='string'
enumeration value='true'/
enumeration value='false'/
/restriction
/simpleType
/attribute
Where the use= would be presumably be changed to required. This format
also failed.
Any ideas?

Re: [WiX-users] votive causing massive pauses in Visual Studio
Sounds like the age old IntelliSense bug if it's using 50% CPU on a dual-core machine (as in 1 full CPU core). I see this on VS 2005 when opening our main solutions (which have 90+ C++ projects, 0 WiX) but I've got a Core 2 Quad (Q6600) so it doesn't bother me too much. Ask Microsoft nicely if they'll fix it. It's only been an issue for 3 years or so. IIRC there is a DLL you can delete/rename to completely disable IntelliSense which will stop it happening but if you want/need the features IntelliSense provides it's not much of a solution.

Subject: [WiX-users] Support for conditional bootstrapper pre-requisites -Burn/dotNetInstaller/fw bootstrapper/other? Our application install scenario contains conditional pre-requisites. What bootstrappers can do this today? Basically, we want a bootstrapper that can support this scenario: 1A) If App1 is installed, install X1 (matching addon MSI package to App1) 1B) If App1 is not installed, don't install X1 1C) If App1 and X1 are both installed already, do nothing (done already) 2) Start our own application MSI installer That is, App1 is not a pre-requisite for the bootstrapper, but if installed its presence requires an additional pre-requisite component to be installed. I would want the bootstrapper to use a registry search to detect if application App1 is installed and if so install the matching pre-requisite. 1) dotNetInstaller I've checked out the dotNetInstaller, which looks interesting. It seems to be able to do everything we need, except for the above requirement. dotNetInstaller has the InstalledCheck element, but can it be used for this scenario? It seems to only support checking for the presence of the very same component that is about to be installed. I can't see a way to link a component to be conditionally installed based on the presence of another component. Is there a way to make this work w dotNetInstaller? 2) Other bootstrapper options Can Burn or .NET FW bootstrapper handle this scenario? Some other alternative? By the way, I know Burn is put on hold until 3.0 ships, but what is the current status of Burn as it exists now? Ps.

Re: [WiX-users] How to move progress bar during custom action
In order to show progress, you have to know two things: total work to be done and current amount of work completed. MsiProcessMessage is used to notify Windows Installer how much work has been completed. Who knows how much work has been done? If it is the EXE that you cannot modify, then I don't know how you could use a realistic progress bar. You could fake the progress bar by creating a custom action that spawns two background threads. One thread is the EXE that needs to run and the other is a timer. When the timer updates you could increment the progress bar through MsiProcessMessage. To do this trickery, you'd have to estimate how long the EXE should take to run. If a computer is faster, then your task will finish before the progress bar is filled up. If the computer is slower, then your progress bar will get stuck at 100% completed. I have a lengthy executable that runs at the end of an installer. My ProgessText for the custom action includes the text This may take several minutes. Please be patient. The users don't get a progress bar, but their expectations are set. - Don Benson - On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 1:57 AM, Michael mich...@gnhsoft.com wrote: Hi Richard, Thanks for your suggestion.

[WiX-users] setupbld bootstrapper 64bit
Hi, I'm currently using setupbld (in Wix V3) as a bootstrapper for managing my product upgrades. My team is willing to build a native 64 product. Compilation will be done on a 64 bit OS. My questions are : -do I have to install the 64bit version of Wix? I guess not...the 32bit version should still be working... am I right? -will setupbld.exe build 64bit executables? If not, could this be a problem in installing a 64bit product? Can a 32bit bootstrapper install 64bit products? Thanks for your help.

Re: [WiX-users] Ram size checking
Hukum ... Just because you have 2GB of RAM installed in the machine, it doesn't follow that the available physical memory will be 2048 MB. Many machines these day share RAM with video cards and other peripherals, which reduces the physical memory available. On 32-bit OSes without PAE enabled (ie: Windows XP, 32-bit Windows Vista), memory address space that is devoted to IO will also reduce the available memory (when you have 4GB RAM installed). What you're seeing is probably correct for your test machines. Example: my desktop machine has 8GB RAM installed, with a 1GB Video Card, a RAID controller, and some other stuff. On 64-bit Vista, my available memory is 8189 MB. On 32-bit Vista, the available memory was 2813 MB. The solution is to set your physical memory threshold to be what your application actually needs, and not an arbitrary round number. - Craig - -Original Message- From: Hukumchand Shah [mailto:hukum.s...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 12:47 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Ram size checking
Thank you for the reply. I tested this on windows 2008,2003 and XP, on all of these machine actual ram size is 2048MB But in wix it shows PhysicalMemory = 2005. So it's causing problem for me. I can't put PhysicalMemory = 2048 condition. so what's the solution? Please help. Thank you in advance. How about PhysicalMemory = 2000? It's kinda funny, but I'm actually serious. Most machines that claim to have like 1 Gb memory on paper often seem to show up as having 1020 Mb or similar give or take a few megs, they do in our team. Thus, you should expect some natural variation in memory available and I'm not sure Windows Installer is actually wrong here btw. Don't know your situation, but you might have other options than to enforce this the hard way using Win Installer only. For instance, on our team our app memory requirements are 1 Gb memory. For us, this limit has been set rather arbitrary based on what our app needs for reasonable performance while still allowing the user to do work using a few other normal apps at the same time. Now most customers can meet those reqs, but not all. Knowing that hardware upgrades can be expensive (esp for a whole org) our approach has been to give some leeway on behalf of the customer while still enforcing our HW standards. This is how we do this. We allow the application to install even if the HW is sub par (512 Mb is our minimum level to allow install at all, since we feel it would simply not be usable at all below that). When the app starts we instead log the sub par HW and light a warning icon in the toolbar of the application window. When hovered, a tooltip informs the user that he might not experience full app performance because his HW (blabla) is below minimum reqs. We light this warning icon for 5 min after launch so it is not too annoying. We like this approach because we feel allowing the user to do work using a potentially slow app is better than stopping him altogether as long as he is informed. If the user is unhappy about performance, he hopefully now knows he should upgrade HW first before blaming the product or calling customer support. If not, support can read the logs and do this for him. We do the same based on CPU speed. Maybe something that can help you, dunno. /Mathias -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

Re: [WiX-users] Is it safe to use a CustomAction longer than 255 bytes?
Dominic Herity wrote: First question: Is it safe to exceed 255 bytes in a command line? Unknown. Generally yes, but you're going outside the scope of what's documented to work and there are cases where it's known to not work. Assuming it is safe, I need to run it in a build environment that treats warnings as errors. I can disable the warning with -sice:ICE03, but that seems to leave me vulnerable to other buffer overflow conditions. And it's always possible that the command line would exceed 8191 bytes and I'd want to catch that? Second question: What's the safest way to eliminate this warning? Validation can be disabled only entirely or at the individual ICE level. There's no way to tell ICE03 to report everything but a certain class of errors. And there's no way to tell it to check for an additional class of errors (8191). So, don't pass ultra-long command lines.

[WiX-users] ActionText and Error localization
For localizing setup we are supposed to import the tables from Intl folder of Installer SDK. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369771(VS.85).aspx) Can the same be achieved by adding the table to wixlib and just using light, I tried it but it didn’t worked. If not what is the ideal way of creating the table files as we need to support few locales not provided.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding system wide module to IIS7 on 64-bit OS
Why not use System64Folder? That's the more correct solution.

I figured out my problem. I was using
[SystemFolder]inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config as the file, which

I switched to

worked.

I didn't see any replies to this. I'm having the same problem. I
figured out the cause, but I'm not sure on what to do for a solution.
The problem is that windows does a redirect to the syswow64 folder, and
the applicationHost.config file doesn't exist there. So it can't be
accessed by anything running in 32-bit. I'm using wix version
3.0.4721.0. Anyone have any suggestions?

Subject: Adding system wide module to IIS7 on 64-bit OS
I have a setup that installs a system-wide managed-code module in IIS7.
I do this as follows:

With the following preprocessor command setting var.64bit:
?ifdef $(var.ProcessorArchitecture) = x64?
?define 64bit=yes?
?else?
?define 64bit=no?
?endif?
This seems to work just fine in 32-bit, but in 64-bit it fails with the
following error:

Error 25541. Failed to open XML file
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\Config\applicationHost.config, system error:

I can't figure it out, I made sure I have access to the file in elevated
mode (the elevated prompt comes up), and it works great in 32-bit.
Any ideas? Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,

Log on as administrator and then retry this installation. Note:- Launching the MSI from a windows explorer or launching the MSI from an elevated command-prompt completed successfully. Why the difference in behavior and what am I missing? Any pointers is much appreciated.

[WiX-users] Custom dialog during uninstallation
Hello, My problem is simple: I need to ask user before an uninstallation begins, whether he wants to keep or remove user created files (settings, database, etc.). Is it somehow possible to spawn custom dialog during the uninstallation even if the InstallUISequence is bypassed? Is the only way how to accomplish that to display very own dialog from Custom action stored in DLL? Thanks for any help.
