Check out http://www.codeplex.com/xnainstaller, it is a simple .msi file that will extract another .msi during install and install it as well. Complete source code to the Custom Action used for that can be downloaded as well. The limitation of only one Windows Installer working at the same time (through a global semaphore) relates to the deferred part of the installation process. As long as the wizard GUI is displayed, the semaphore has not been entered and other installers can be executed. So I simply used an immediate mode Custom Action that extracts the other .msi and installs it. If that install fails, the installer can be aborted using a negative return from the Custom Action and if it succeeds, the installer will let the user continue and install the actual product. > > Thanks, > -Moiz -Markus- -- Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing multiple MSI
If you're looking for an Open Source solution in the spirit of WiX, then I'd probably recommend using NSIS or something similar, or the Microsoft Bootstrapper. If you're looking for something "off the shelf", I personally ended up purchasing a license for MSI Factory (http://www.indigorose.com/products/msi-factory/) just for the bootstrapper application included with it. It provided some features we needed and the License fee is less that it would have cost us to build our own. YMMV.

[WiX-users] util:PermissionEx Error in WiX3.0.5217.0 - ExecSecureObjects did not close 1 MSIHANDLEs
We just upgraded our WiX version to 3.0.5217.0 (RC2) and our MSI stopped working. Same exact WXS compiled under 3.0.4805.0 works fine, but under 3.0.5217.0 throws an error when attempting to setup registry keys, using PermissionEx. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Re: [WiX-users] Major Upgrade: some files are randomly not installed
Going back to the big picture here, if you have your RemoveExistingProducts towards the end of the upgrade then the upgrade will use file update rules to decide what to replace. The upgrade is on top of the existing files, so you need to increment file versions to get files updated. If you want your upgrade to always remove the old files then sequence RemoveExistingProducts early, such as immediately after InstallInitialize. Version lying is not a good idea, so WiX perhaps decided not to provide it. The issue is that the version of the file on disk will never match the version in the actual file, so the install is broken, and I don't believe you can predict what things like a repair will do in every situation.

[WiX-users] Wrong Assembly version in MsiAssemblyName table after
Hi, I have a .Net assembly file with file version "4.0.763.0" and assembly version "4.0.0.0". In order to install it into the GAC I have used latest Wix3 toolset and faced a wrong registration issue. Taking a look into the MSI file with Orca tool shows that in MsiAssemblyName table the file version is as expected "4.0.763.0" however the version is "4.0.0.000" (with two redundant zeros). I would not mind it if I was not using the "bind" feature of the "light" for creating registry keys for COM registration. It all worked fine when file version and assembly version were the same number. Oddly enough when assembly version has less meaningful digits, "light" adds zeros to have both versions with the same number of digits. Am I the only one to face this problem? How do others register .Net assemblies? Do you always use the same numbers for file version and assembly?

Hi,
I have a web project for which I created a MSI package.
I ran the MSI with product version 1.1.0.0.
When I try to run the package with a new minor version (1.3.0.0), the installer
fails. The log says
Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this
version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this
product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.

MSI (c) (E8:44) [13:56:07:868]: Windows Installer reconfigured the product.
Product Name: Microsoft Response Management Website. Product Version: 1.3.0.0.
Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft. Reconfiguration success or
error status: 1638.
I am copying the initial (perhaps relevant) lines from the new wxs file here
The only changes are in the Version attribute of the Product element and in the
Minimum attribute of the UpgradeVersion element.
I understand that this may be a very trivial problem and I may just be ignoring
something. Please pardon me for that and help me understand the missing pieces.

Hi All, When I install my program I present checkbox to install an optional feature. If the user selects that checkbox then I need to install another MSI. I understand that a bootstrapper is required to do this type of installation.

Sorry. I'll explain the situation. I sort of cried "wolf" in the beginning since I used an XSLT to massage my XML after Heat produced the XML. At that point Candle wouldn't compile. That was my mistake as confirmed by Brian and yourself. I fixed that error. When it came to running Light to produce my merge module, these were my findings: In 3.0.4923 (my current build setup) 1. Run Heat : OK ($heat dir d:\foo -svb6 -sfrag -suid -gg -our PrismShell.wxs) 2. Run Candle: ERROR: [exec] D:\Builds\PRISM XP\Build 11.51.\Bin\PrismShell.wxs(180) : error CNDL0010 : The Class/@Server attribute was not found; it is required. Fixed by running a custom XSLT that added the Class/@Server attribute. 3. Run Light: OK (PrismShell.msm produced and later incorporated into an MSI).

Please remove one of the entries or rename a part of the primary key to avoid the collision. The WiX XML that is generating the above error looks like the same that you had generated before: Yes, it compiles, but it's not "linking" with Light. This is where I am right now. Please note that the XML that Heat produces in 3.0.4923 is much, much bigger than in 3.0.5217 and 3.0.5224. Let me know if you need me to send you a binary (DisplayFridayListUI.dll) that can reproduce this. If I can't resolve this issue, I'm afraid I will have to stick with 3.0.4923 as 3.0.5224 has a break that I can't work around. If anything is unclear, let me know.

[WiX-users] multi-CD install using WiX?

[WiX-users] Novice Question: How do I make my product overwrite a previous version?
Hi,
I have a web project for which I created a MSI package.
I ran the MSI with product version 1.1.0.0.
When I try to run the package with a new minor version (1.3.0.0), the installer
fails. The log says
Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this
version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this
product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.
{10FA29A8-45F6-49EE-87BB-3095DEAA5A56}
MSI (c) (E8:44) [13:56:07:859]: Product: Microsoft Response Management Website
-- Configuration failed.
MSI (c) (E8:44) [13:56:07:868]: Windows Installer reconfigured the product.
Product Name: Microsoft Response Management Website. Product Version: 1.3.0.0.
Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft. Reconfiguration success or
error status: 1638.
I am copying the initial (perhaps relevant) lines from the new wxs file here
The only changes are in the Version attribute of the Product element and in the
Minimum attribute of the UpgradeVersion element.
I understand that this may be a very trivial problem and I may just be ignoring
something. Please pardon me for that and help me understand the missing pieces.
**
