Re: [WiX-users] On Team Build and WiX, and why it hates me.
It's just a normal WixExtension. I have a compiler and decompiler extension in the project. All it does is turn some xml elements into table entries, etc. Here's what makes it tough for me to track down, whenever I try running this through candle in the debugger, it works fine. If I step through, it *always* passes the load just fine. This problem is absolutely enraging. I will send you an archive of the entire solution, so you can see if I'm doing anything stupendously stupid. I believe I am using version 3.0.4917.0... I know it's a little old now, but I have trouble getting new software on the build server, so it's more expedient to keep the older edition. This problem persisted through several different versions.

Re: [WiX-users] Reference custom directory
Hi Brian,
I forgot to mention that my app is hosted on iis so it's a web project
installer hence I do not need to specify a installdir. Also the thumbnails are
fetched from my app dynamically upon users request so all our app needs to know
is the path to the folder where they store the thumbnails. So I do am not
trying a to ask the user where to save the thumbnails but where our app can
retrieve the thumbnails that are already in the machine. Does that make sense??
Thank you so much.. I really appreciate it!
God bless you! (_' ){

Hi Dk, ok trying to break this down for you.

With this you could use the installdir to accomplish through wix.

I know you can build this in with wix using windows installer ui controls.
What I am not sure of is if you can create a variable here based on a

Someone else here can probably answer this. I think that you can, but I
havent had this need before.
3. Then you want to copy files(icons) from the user selected directory to

This could be done in a number of different ways as well.
Now I think I have what you want, the problem is what is the best way to do
it.
I dont know how much time you have for this project or how professional it
needs to be, so there are many factors here.
If I didnt care of the look, I would call a custom action and call a nice

are going to need to understand wixui stuff really good. I would look there
as well just to see what is the possibilities.
Perhaps someone else here can answer if you can create variables and

right direction there.

Re: [WiX-users] Reference custom directory
Hi Brian, Thanks alot for the suggestion, however, I think you misunderstood my question. Or I probably mislead you haha. Here is the dilemma. Our company has a server application and my teams' product will be residing in the same machine. My application talks to the server to send a playlist that is generated by our application. We (the app) however get the thumbnails (images that is rendered by another product) from the server. So basically, you can think of our application as a playlist generating app but in order to generate the playlist we need the thumbnails for each item and we fetch the thumbnails from our server. Our application is a web application so we can deploy it anywhere the user wants it to. Now, when we created this application, we did not know our application was going to be deployed on the same machine as the server. Because of this we were fetching the thumbnails from the server thru a HTTP request and the server sent the requested thumbnails to our application. Since, our app is going to be residing in the same machine now, however, instead of requesting the thumbnails through an HTTP request I was wondering if I could actually read into a directory where the thumbnails lie in the server. So, what I want to achieve was ask the user if they want to fetch from server or from the local disk. The reason for even asking (even the 'server' actually directs the local machine since our app is residing in the server machine) is because the thumbnails are not always in the same directory and we have to know where the thumbnails are stored at.

Re: [WiX-users] On Team Build and WiX, and why it hates me.
This is incredibly unstable. So, this morning, I ran the candle command line shown from votive's output window myself in a CL window.. And it worked. So, I restarted VS2008, and rebuilt the project, and that was working too! So, I tried heading to the build server, and getting fuslogvw to work there, and trying to run the candle command line directly... It didn't work there, but the fuslogvw said it loaded properly. So, I just reran the candle command line locally, to compare the fuslogvw outputs, most directly to check the assembly info of the wix dll... and it's not working locally again. WTF.This is all against a static version of my extension. That file has not changed at all since April 21st. Why would it work earlier today, but not work now? I'm using the same cut & pasted command line. Chris P.S. Thank you guys for the help, I do appreciate it... I'm *really* frustrated with what should be a simple task, and it's driving me up a wall here, so the help is the only thing keeping my computer from going out the window today.

[WiX-users] WiX compiler extension and WiX Lib...
Howdy folks; I'm building a WiX compiler extension. I've over-ridden WixExtension::GetLibrary to return my custom built WiX Lib. My WiX Lib has the following in it: When I build an MSI that references my compiler extension, I get the error: "Cannot find the table definitions for the 'Binary' table. This is likely due to a typing error or missing extension. Please ensure all the necessary extensions are supplied on the command line with the -ext parameter" If I remove "http://p.sf.net/sfu/velocityconf ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
Re: [WiX-users] Major Upgrade: some files are randomly not installed
Assuming I understand what you're trying to do with the downgrade, sequencing RemoveExistingProducts early in one of the documented places (such as after InstallInitialize and before any script actions) will accomplish a downgrade. That sequencing results in an uninstall of the existing product followed by an install of the incoming product. This will downgrade if your Upgrade table allows it. If you have files that are shared with other products they won't be uninstalled however.

Re: [WiX-users] On Team Build and WiX, and why it hates me.
Here's an idea: check the public-key-token of the assembly reference from your extension to wix.dll. If you're building the extension against wix.dll with one key but then trying to run it with wix.dll with a different key, the assembly loading may succeed but the types won't resolve as the same. -Original Message- From: Christopher Karper [mailto:christopher.kar...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 11:56 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

The problems: 1) You need collect database SQL login creditentials. 2) The uninstall from Add/Remove programs (ARP) displays no gui. The solution I used was to disable the uninstall from ARP, only allowing "modify". From modify, there is a "Uninstall" or "Remove All" choice. When the user selects "Uninstall", collect the credentials and drop the data. This is not the pretties solution.

[WiX-users] Wix - Install dll that needs to be used by the setup process ?
Hi i have a Wix project which is mainly working fine however i have a problem. How do i get Wix to Install & register a dll so that it can be used by the msi in the setup process ? The full problem; I have a custom action which calls a vb script file, this vb script file calls a dll with a FindWindow API in it. The VB Script and FindWindow code basically are there to create a Browse function (and set it modal of the calling app, so it doesn't appear behind it) that allows you to browse Network Places as this is for a server install path (as the one in Wix doesn't work for network places).

How are you defining your set fragment? (Are you using WiX v2 for this?
Neil's instructions apply to v3.)

Re: [WiX-users] Turn off licence in UI
I tried this but couldn't get it to work.
I understand everything up to:
Then just include you new WixUI_Mondo.wxs in your project ...
I suppose I don't understand enough about using fragments.
I assume I have to pass the custom UI .wxs file to candle and then its
.wixobj file to light, but when I do get:
error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol
'WixUI:WixUI_InstallDirNoLicense' in section 'Product:{5A0E9340-D3E6-
1960-4EDF-9113801AB533}'.
Though both object files are on the command line the linker doesn't seem
to be able to connect the UIRef with the fragment defining it.
I've tried googling and reading the tutorial and I'm confused.
Can anyone help?

[WiX-users] uninstalling certificates
Hello,
I am having some trouble uninstalling certificates using IIsExtension.
On one machine the certificates seem to install and uninstall fine, but
on another Windows XP machine UninstallCertificates action fails. I
guess it might be related to the fact that on the machine where
uninstall fails, I already had those certificates in certificate store
before installing this MSI.
Am I doing something wrong here that makes uninstall sometimes fail or
is it a wix bug?
The wxs file looks like this:
... and more similar component tags
...
... more binary tags
And here's a snippet from uninstall log captured using msiexec /x /l*vx:
=== Verbose logging started: 28.04.2009 12:42:23 Build type: SHIP
UNICODE 3.01.4001.5512

[WiX-users] database drop during uninstallation
Hi, In my Wix installation, I've got a couple of executables, some windows services and a database. For creating the database, I use a custom dialog which gets the username, password and database name into properties, and these properties are used during the database component installation. But when I try to uninstall, with the 'DropOnUninstall' option set to yes, I receive an sql server error. I believe this is due to the fact that the DB credentials collected during installation is not persisted anywhere. Where can I save the credentials in order to use them for dropping the database during uninstallation?
