[WiX-users] How to change focus on the dialogs for components(like button, checkbox, etc.) in wix dialogs?
Hi All, I am using LicenseAgreementDlg.wxs in my wix installer. In this when I press the tab button from keyboard, the focus order is weird. On tab button the focus order is [Back-Next-cancel-license Text-Print-Checkbox-Back...]. I want to change this focus order on tab. Is there any way to do it? OR How to set tab button focus order in wix dialogs?

[WiX-users] Condition for detecting minor upgrade
Hi, I'm attempting to create a customized UI sequence that when upgrading or patching only displays a dialog that tells the user that the application will be upgraded and what version it will upgraded to. For major upgrades this isn't a problem, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to detect minor upgrades in the conditions for the dialogs, done with REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus. Has anyone done anything like this? Or is there support for something like this built-in to the UIExtension that I have missed? /Johan Appelgren -- Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.

Re: [WiX-users] How to change focus on the dialogs for components(likebutton, checkbox, etc.) in wix dialogs?
It is my assumption that the Tab order is defined by the order in which the Control elements appear under Dialog element. You can also exclude the controls from the tab sequence setting the TabSkip attribute of the Control element to 'yes'. Hope this helps. -- Yan -Original Message- From: Hukumchand Shah [mailto:hukum.s...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 10:01 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Troubleshooting ExecXmlFile?
As far as I know, error code 1603 is an indicator of file-in-use type of errors. Make sure you do not open the Xml file for read/write while installing.

[WiX-users] Wait until CostingComplete=1 before showing WelcomeDlg
Hi I am creating an installer using WiX that contains about 13500 files spread across about 720 components. I am not sure if this is a lot or not, but the installer can take quite a while to calculate the costing. The part that makes this annoying is that when the installer starts up, the Prepare Dialog will have text that says Computing Space Requirements, which is fine. However, once that is done and the user is allowed to click through to the license agreement, another Dialog gets spawned when they accept saying Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements. This is because the CostingComplete property has not been set to 1 yet. The user is then forced to wait another few minutes while this finishes before they can move on, which is annoying. I would like to move all the waiting the user has to do to the beginning of the installation, instead of them having to wait a couple of times throughout the dialogs. So my question is: Can I somehow tell the Prepare Dialog to wait until CostingComplete=1 before it goes away and displays the Welcome Dialog? Is it at all possible to spawn a wait dialog automatically from the Prepare that waits until CostingComplete=1, or does it always have to be tied to the user pressing a button? Could I write some kind of custom action that will force the dialogs to wait around while the costing is happening and then return once the CostingComplete=1?

Re: [WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
First check that LocalPath is pointing to the correct location. Sometimes the bug is sooo trivial we don't notice it. ;-) SvnVersion/ expects svnversion.exe to live at $(ProgramFiles)\Subversion\bin. If it doesn't live there, then specify ToolPath to the directory where it does live. Example: SvnVersion ToolPath=$(ProgramFiles)\CollabNet Subversion Client LocalPath=..\ Output TaskParameter=Revision PropertyName=Revision/ /SvnVersion Use Message Text=Version: $(Revision) Importance=high/ while testing to make it easier for the revision to be printed. The verbosity level of msbuild can affect whether these messages are printed or not. Edwin G.

Re: [WiX-users] Registring CDO.dll - Heat ouput same as before, but Light now giving error
Thanks for the tips guys. We had 2 products using this. One works fine with
the redistributable, but the other didn't like it. So I'm going to chain
the redistributable package for the product that liked it, and we'll just
hold off for the other, until a code change. We got an error:
Marshaler restriction: Excessively long string.
I will leave to the developers to update accordingly and then our plan is to
use the redistributable.
Thanks!

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,

Re: [WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
Hello Edwin thanks for your response.I had the toolpath there before and it didnt seem to make any difference, but I added it back again.

to believe that there is some kind of pathing/mapping problem. Also, I am
not quite sure on the syntax for DefineConstants inside the version target.

Re: [WiX-users] Wait until CostingComplete=1 before showing WelcomeDlg
garnold wrote: I am creating an installer using WiX that contains about 13500 files spread across about 720 components. I am not sure if this is a lot or not, but the installer can take quite a while to calculate the costing. The part that makes this annoying is that when the installer starts up, the Prepare Dialog will have text that says Computing Space Requirements, which is fine. However, once that is done and the user is allowed to click through to the license agreement, another Dialog gets spawned when they accept saying Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements. This is because the CostingComplete property has not been set to 1 yet. The user is then forced to wait another few minutes while this finishes before they can move on, which is annoying. To be clear, they'd be waiting the same amount of time either way. The CostingComplete trick is trying to be helpful, in a more typical case where costing will be completed by the time the user has clicked through the UI. So my question is: Can I somehow tell the Prepare Dialog to wait until CostingComplete=1 before it goes away and displays the Welcome Dialog? I don't think so. Costing is finishing up in the background so there's no event to tie it to. Is it at all possible to spawn a wait dialog automatically from the Prepare that waits until CostingComplete=1, or does it always have to be tied to the user pressing a button? Yes, it's a control event. Could I write some kind of custom action that will force the dialogs to wait around while the costing is happening and then return once the CostingComplete=1? Same with SpawnDialog: It's a control event so the user still has to initiate it. If this is a blocking issue for you, you might want to consider writing an external UI handler so you have complete control over the UI. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
