I'm not. If you can reproduce this with a simple package (i.e., no

[WiX-users] Access public properties from within modules

In my setup program, I have a main wix file and a merge module. In my main wix 
file, I am looking for any earlier versions of the product and if I find one, I 
set a property called 'MYAPPFOUND'.





In my merge module, I need to run a custom action only if 'MYAPPFOUND' property 
is set. I have the following code:


MYAPPFOUND



But the problem is that the merge module is trying to access the property 
'MYAPPFOUND.'. So, seems its using the property 
'MYAPPFOUND.' to evaluate the condition. Is there a way I can make 
it use the property defined in the main wix file and not use something like 
'MYAPPFOUND.'? By using ORCA, I changed the condition from 
'MYAPPFOUND.' to only 'MYAPPFOUND' and then it seems to work fine.



Thanks.
Sudripta.

Re: [WiX-users] Files not being installed before custom action being executed...

Hey David,

You will need to create an intermediate custom action (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370543(VS.85).aspx) that sends the
deferred custom action the values you need.

What you are looking to do, calling Regasm.exe, is not the preferred way of
achieving the goal. You could use heat.exe in your environment to harvest
the registry entries you need into your MSI or author the registry entries
in the .wxs file. Then you would not need to gain access to the files and
you wouldn't have to worry about the 3 needed steps
(install/rollback/uninstall).

Hope that helps,

Brian Rogers

Re: [WiX-users] Files not being installed before custom action being executed...

2009-04-20 Thread David Bartmess

I can't run them as deferred because when I try to mark them as deferred, the 
compiler gives me an error about it. Seems the Property custom actions can't be 
run as deferred, and they need to be run at the same time as the other custom 
actions the QtExecCmdLine is used in.

Hey David,

You would need to run these as "deferred" custom actions in order to have 
access to system files.

Re: [WiX-users] Registring CDO.dll - Heat ouput same as before, but Light now giving error

2009-04-20 Thread Roy Abou Assaly


Hi Brian,
I found this website http://www.cdolive.com/cdo7.htm which lead me to this
MS Collaboration Data Objects, version 1.2.1 (6.5.8067.0) download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2714320d-c997-4de1-986f-24f081725d36&displaylang=en

I'm going to talk to the developer and see if 6.5.8067.0 is compatible with
his application which is using 6.5.7940.0.  If there's no problems, I may
just go with the MS re-distributable.  I will go that route before I go and
create any unnecessary tickets.  Will get back to with the result.

Thanks for the tip,

Roy

Roy,

It might be worth you opening a bug. However, you should not be installing
CDO on your own. There could likely be other pieces that need to be
installed that are not harvested from the DLL itself. This would invalidate
the installation of CDO on the system and could cause large problems. You
should look for a redistributable and chain that into your installation.

The message you are getting in light is saying that the output of the
harvest is basically not valid which is possible as COM is highly
customizable. Heat does not take into account all possible variations
because of those issues.

Re: [WiX-users] Extract a file using custom action routine

Hey Sudripta,

No, there is not a direct way to do this during a running installation. If
you are only focused on a single file you could put the file in the Binary
stream table and then pass it to a CA (immediate CA -> deferred CA) that
both writes it to this location AND removes it. This file would not be
managed by Windows Installer at that point. Rather it would be up to you to
handle install/rollback/uninstall.

Thanks,

Brian Rogers

Re: [WiX-users] CA scheduling question

Jason,

If you already have custom actions doing this you could put the files you
are looking for into the Binary table in the MSI and stream them over
(immediate CA -> deferred CA) and then invoke you actions on those files.
This is generally the less touchy way of getting references to needed files
on install/ROLLBACK/uninstall.

Hope that helps,

I am seeing this also.  However, I only see the issue on my x64 install.

I upgraded a test environment with WiX 3.0.5217.0, and it still appears with 
this build.
After installation and then selecting "Change" in Add/Remove Programs, the 
"Location:" text and "Browse..." button are correctly hidden.  However, the 
directory (between "Location:" and "Browse...") is displayed and it is showing 
the default value instead of the actual value.

I assume this is a problem on x64 with 
CustomizeDlgLocation-CustomizeDlgLocation defined in WixUI_*.wxl, but I don't 
know how to follow it back from there.

Here is a snippet of my WiX code.

Is anyone else seeing this, or is it just me?

Thanks,
Dale

Re: [WiX-users] Registring CDO.dll - Heat ouput same as before, but Light now giving error

Roy,

It might be worth you opening a bug. However, you should not be installing
CDO on your own. There could likely be other pieces that need to be
installed that are not harvested from the DLL itself. This would invalidate
the installation of CDO on the system and could cause large problems. You
should look for a redistributable and chain that into your installation.

The message you are getting in light is saying that the output of the
harvest is basically not valid which is possible as COM is highly
customizable. Heat does not take into account all possible variations
because of those issues.

Thanks,

Brian Rogers

At any rate, the code is currently at

[WiX-users] Esc key hit can't cancel during installation

I have two dialogs in my setup program... one is the welcome screen and another 
is the installation progress dialog. In both the dialogs I have a button called 
'Cancel' and its 'Cancel' property is set to 'yes' for both the dialogs. When I 
am on the 'Welcome screen' dialog, if I press the 'Esc' key, it simulates the 
'Cancel' button key-press and cancels the setup. But, when I am on the 
'Installation progress' dialog and hit the 'Esc' key, it doesn't simulate the 
'Cancel' button key-press. So, it doesn't cancel the setup. My 'Installer 
progress' dialog has been created as modeless.

Please let me know how to fix this and make my 'Installer progress' dialog too, 
respond to 'Esc' button key press.



Thanks.
Sudripta.

[WiX-users] Registring CDO.dll - Heat ouput same as before, but Light now giving error

2009-04-20 Thread Roy Abou Assaly

Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating more WiX files to the latest version of WiX.
I'm using 3.0.5217 and found this error that wasn't occurring in an older
version of WiX:

error LGHT0130 : The primary key 'regFB26914512AFF203D5986383999BD192' is
duplicated in table 'Registry'. Please remove one of the entries or rename
a part of the primary key to avoid the collision.

The DLL in question is actually CDO.dll 6.5.7940.0. I generated the WiX for
it using heat many versions ago (6 months or so). I regenerated again using
heat 3.0.5217 and it produced the same output. However, Light 3.0.5217 is
throwing the error above. Light never gave this error before.

If I comment out:

Light has no problems, but after generating the MSI, I ran Orca on the MSI,
and I got:

ICE33: Warning Reg key regFB26914512AFF203D5986383999BD192 is used in an
unsupported way. CLSID - ProdId associations should be registered via the
Class and ProdId tables. This entry may overwrite a value created through
those tables.

Should I create a ticket in sourceforge and attach CDO.dll?

[WiX-users] Files not being installed before custom action being executed...

2009-04-20 Thread David Bartmess

What could be the problem with this? The scenario is that several scripts are 
copied in during InstallFiles, and executed just before InstallFinalize. But 
when it executes, the files aren't copied to the output directories at the 
point where it tries to run them.

How can I (or should I?) force the files to be installed at a specific point? I 
thought that was what "InstallFiles" was doing. But according to the log 
(bottom) InstallFiles is being executed, and the custom actions are coming MUCH 
later... So why aren't the files there?

Any help would be appreciated...

[WiX-users] Wix Coder forums

2009-04-20 Thread MacDiarmid, James D


Would anyone know of any forums or coding sites kinda like CodeGuru,
DevShed, etc that would be dedicated to Install Development using Wix?
If not, there might be some benefit to having such a forum or site. I
guess the question would be would anyone be interested in such a site?

It depends on your bootstrapper, its capabilities, and how it is configured. 
What bootstrapper are you using?

Hi Blair,

I've found a very interesting answer from you in an old WIX user thread that 
should sove my problem but I've some questions about your post.

The problem occurs using a self extracting archive that contain the 
installation files and the installation of installer 3.1 requires a reboot 
which breaks the installation because the temp files are not available after 
reboot.

Your post is listened below:
>>>
According to 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/msi/setup/windows_installer_redistributables.asp
 you can pass a command-line option of /norestart to the 3.1 installer, and if 
that installer returns ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED then you should reboot 
after installing your product. Then you don’t have to worry about restarting 
your installation and having it deleted from your TEMP dir.

Blair Murri

<<<

I use Wix 3 and use a bootstrapper for installer 3.1 within my Wix project file.

Now my questions:
- How can I pass the command line option /norestart within the bootsprapper 
declaration?
- How could I check the result of the installation of installer 3.1?
- How could I request a restart?

Thank you in advice and best regards,
Thomas Gois

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog - Property Setting

>From your code fragment it seems like you're trying to use the inner
text of your publish tags to set your property. Inner text doesn't work
like that, it's generally used as a condition on the element (with some
exceptions like Text Controls).

Try modifying the code for your "yes" and "no" buttons to the following:


  1
  1


  1
  1


That should achieve what you're trying to do with those buttons. The 1
in the inner text just means it always does the Publish events when they
are clicked. See the Publish Element in the WiX.chm for more
information.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Dialog - Property Setting

Dear All,

I want to create installer for my application which check existence of a
database file located somewhere. If it found the file, it should ask the
user whether to replace it or not.

Till now I have succeed in checking and launching a custom dialog as
mentioned above. I have provided buttons 'Yes' and 'No'.

If user clicks on 'Yes', I want a public property to be set to "1" and
if user clicks on 'No' it should set to "0" without disturbing further
installation process.

Here is my code







The Setup has found database instance on your
system. Do you want to remove it...
 


  INSTALL_FILE="1 "
 <===





INSTALL_FILE="0"
<===






  



I am getting stucked at arrow pointed lines.

The property 'INSTALL_FILE' is not getting set here.

Basically what I want to do is storing this property value in registry
and then take appropriate action while running my application exe.

Thanks Pally Sandher sir/mam for regularly giving suggestions and thanks
to all for making so efforts.

Anyone having ideas???

Regards,

Ron

Hey Brian,

Which version of heat.exe are you using? Is it this weeks drop? Second, if
you could show more or your source wixproj that would be great. Also, the
PreprocessorVariable takes only "var.MyVar" not "$(var.MyVar).

Do you know about the VSProject harvestor extension? This might work for

Re: [WiX-users] Building wix from visual studio 2008 using HeatDirectory/HeatTask

2009-04-20 Thread Brian Bakkebo

Hello Brian, thanks for your response below.  It solved just about
everything for me.  Now I have a problem with the heat output:

based on your heat examples here:
http://icumove.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FB93073C6534B681!461.entry

But I am not quite sure how to define this variable in the wix project file
or if I can?
What I am trying to do is have this point to my output directory ie:Debug or
Release\
Can you give me an idea of what I need to do here.

Med vennlig hilsen /Regards
Brian

Well, I'm getting started writing that CustomAction. It's still 80%
psuedocode and only 20% C, but here's what I have so far. (I know I
can't append to strings like that in C, I'll rewrite that in proper RTL
calls myself when I get to my Visual Studio machine.)

I would prefer to have it run after the MSI has deleted the files it
knows about already. (why make extra work?)

What XML code would be required to put the CA in at that point, and what
MSI SDK functions would I use to do what is asked for in the HELP
comments?

I know I'm asking for a lot at the moment, but even if you only point
out the first steps, or point me to examples, I can work with that and
ask more detailed questions as needed later.

(Terms of Perl means the choice of the Artistic license, or GPL version
1 or later - don't blame me if that's a problem for people here, I'm
including this in a package that has that license.)

Found that problem, thanks!  Had to make sure that the Id attributes
ended with .ico, and everything worked. (The way the documentation and
tutorials read, I thought the ID attributes had to end with the
extension of the object being pointed to, instead, and of course,
reading an icon from what it thought was a .bat file had funny results!)

That's your choice but the WiX extensions include them as embedded

Many thanks for the reply. I re-jigged the project structure (closer to how

Many thanks for your help anyway.

[WiX-users] Custom Dialog - Property Setting

2009-04-20 Thread ron cooper

Dear All,

I want to create installer for my application which check existence of a
database file located somewhere. If it found the file, it should ask the
user whether to replace it or not.

Till now I have succeed in checking and launching a custom dialog as
mentioned above. I have provided buttons 'Yes' and 'No'.

If user clicks on 'Yes', I want a public property to be set to "1" and if
user clicks on 'No' it should set to "0" without disturbing further
installation process.

Here is my code







The Setup has found database instance on your
system. Do you want to remove it...
 


  INSTALL_FILE="1 "
 <===





INSTALL_FILE="0"
<===






  



I am getting stucked at arrow pointed lines.

The property 'INSTALL_FILE' is not getting set here.

Basically what I want to do is storing this property value in registry and
then take appropriate action while running my application exe.

Thanks Pally Sandher sir/mam for regularly giving suggestions and thanks to
all for making so efforts.

Anyone having ideas???

Regards,

Ron

I haven't tried this but when you build your wixlib with lit have you tried 
using the -bf option to bind files in to the wixlib.

Yes, this works, but it dont fit in my needs.

My UI have to be used in many projects, so I maked a new solution and get a 
.wixlib
But i can't use the .wixlib, because it references the bitmaps, etc.. 
absolutely. I need an .wixlib with embedded bitmaps.

So i thought, this is done, when i create an .dll with all the .wxs, .wxl and 
.bmp embedded. So i only ship the .dll and everyone can use it.

One of the regular list posters, Neil Sleighholm, has a pretty good blog
post on how to customise the WiX UI standard libraries at
http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html
without any need to compile a DLL. All your authoring is done in a
Fragment (or multiple fragments) so it's very easy to make modifications
if you're not happy with what you've created etc.

I use a similar method in 2 of our products to great effect and I wish
Neil's article had been around back when I was trying to work out an
easy way to do this.

Good luck.

Hello,

I would build my own UI into an WebAppUIExtension.dll, I already have an
WebAppUI.wixlib.

I have seen the code of the UIExtension shipped with WiX and i get an
WebAppUIExtension.dll, but without the UI themselves. I have included
the AssemblyInfo.cs, UIDecompiler.cs and UIExtension.cs i my
WebAppUIExtension-Project.
How i can include my .wixlib or the .wxs / .wxl Files into the
WebAppUIExtension.dll.

Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] Build a own UIExtension-Dll

2009-04-20 Thread Bahn Thomas

Yes, this works, but it dont fit in my needs.

My UI have to be used in many projects, so I maked a new solution and get a 
.wixlib
But i can't use the .wixlib, because it references the bitmaps, etc.. 
absolutely. I need an .wixlib with embedded bitmaps.

So i thought, this is done, when i create an .dll with all the .wxs, .wxl and 
.bmp embedded. So i only ship the .dll and everyone can use it.

One of the regular list posters, Neil Sleighholm, has a pretty good blog
post on how to customise the WiX UI standard libraries at
http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html
without any need to compile a DLL. All your authoring is done in a
Fragment (or multiple fragments) so it's very easy to make modifications
if you're not happy with what you've created etc.

I use a similar method in 2 of our products to great effect and I wish
Neil's article had been around back when I was trying to work out an
easy way to do this.

Good luck.

Subject: [WiX-users] Build a own UIExtension-Dll

Hello,

I would build my own UI into an WebAppUIExtension.dll, I already have an
WebAppUI.wixlib.

I have seen the code of the UIExtension shipped with WiX and i get an
WebAppUIExtension.dll, but without the UI themselves. I have included
the AssemblyInfo.cs, UIDecompiler.cs and UIExtension.cs i my
WebAppUIExtension-Project.
How i can include my .wixlib or the .wxs / .wxl Files into the
WebAppUIExtension.dll.

Thanks

Thomas Bahn

Hey Anu,

The radio button specifies a value. Under your  element you could
put a  element that supports your needs.

Dear Palbinder Sandhe,

Thank you for valuable information shared with me.

I am trying to get rid off the issue of getting user input using custom
UI dialog, But actually not getting idea how to add it.

Also apology for re-sending same request since my smtp settings was
changed somehow and I could not seen first request in list too.

If possible give some hint about adding custom UI dialog at the time of
installation. I am using  and I wish to
create a new dialog asking user about particular action and take his
input.
Dont know how to do it, but my application requirement is like the same.

If anyone have passed through the situation, please share.

Thanks and Regards,

Ron

Re: [WiX-users] Multilanguage msi

Windows Installer does not support this. You either have to have multiple MSIs 
or one MSI and transforms for the languages.

Hi All,

Can any one tell me, how to make one msi which will support more than one
language.
I have one wix installer currently it supports only english language. But I
want to make one msi for multiple languages and not different msi for
different language.

Is there any way to do this in wix?

Thank you,
