Re: [WiX-users] Installing multiple MSI

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. Any suggestions on 3rdparty bootstrappers that may be available that I can use for this purpose or do I need to write the bootstrapper myself. If anyone has ideas on how I can achieve my goal without using a bootstrapper are also welcome. I have done this without a Bootstrapper. 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.

[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?

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:
Component Id=ESTEID_SK
Guid=E5F232A1-A6CD-449B-B3BD-3DA7111DAC65 KeyPath=yes
iis:Certificate Id=ESTEID_SK
Name=ESTEID_SK
Request=no
StoreLocation=localMachine
StoreName=ca
Overwrite=yes
BinaryKey=ESTEID_SK

/Component
... and more similar component tags
/DirectoryRef
...
Binary Id=ESTEID_SK_2007
SourceFile=$(var.CertSourceDir)\ESTEID-SK 2007.PEM.cer /
... more binary tags
/Fragment
And here's a snippet from uninstall log captured using msiexec /x /l*vx:

[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). Any help on this would be appreciated Thanks -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Wix---Install-dll-that-needs-to-be-used-by-the-setup-process---tp278p278.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Register Now Save for Velocity, the Web Performance Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.

Re: [WiX-users] database drop during uninstallation
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] How to add an extra xmlns
I'm using a preprocessing ?include? in a wxs file to pull in a wxi file. This wxi file contains XmlFile elements which requires using an additional xmlns. i.e. Include ... xmlns:util=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension util:XmlFile ... It turns out that the wxs file also has to have the xmlns:util added to it. I can't find any way to do this using the XML Serialization in Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml (other than writing my own version of Wix.OutputXml). I tried creating an ISchemaElement that basically did this in its OutputXml: writer.WriteAttributeString(xmlns, util, null, http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension;); But when I try to use Wix.AddChild I get a runtime failure (seems to not be valid for the schema). Anyone have any clue how to go about adding this namespace into my wxs file? --- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.

Re: [WiX-users] Major Upgrade: some files are randomly not installed
Hi Phil, Thank you for your reply. I did try RemoveExistingProducts after InstallInitialize. It didn't work. I mean, old product was removed, but some files were not installed - because of version things. What we need is really simple - we just need the down-grade working. We surely would like to increase the file version number for each release as long as down-grade working. The reason for that is, as what I posted in previous thread: some times we may put an older but working build in our provisioning server to urge the user to Downgrade the current but not working build. All we need is, this down-grade happens silently without any user involvement. The problem now is, say, we have two builds: Build1 and Build2. From Build1-Build2, it's okay. But from Build2-Build1, we'll get a broken build because the file versions. I know we can add a dialog box to stop the users doing this - ask them to uninstall the existing build and install another build. But we would not like the users to manually install/uninstall the builds. So our question is, if we do Major Upgrade and the existing build(in this case, it's Build2) is uninstalled entirely, then why bother doing file comparison? Why don't just install Build1 anyways in this case? Sure, the files in Build1 are not compatible with those in Build2. But all files in Build1 are compatible each other. If they can be installed just like a normal stand-alone installation, then things will be just fine. I'm just wondering why this is not supported. I agree with you, Version Lying is not a good idea. But I might guess the reason why they do this. Anyways, it's not that a big deal to know that down-grade isn't fully supported. The important thing is that we know this fact. We'll change our code accordingly. We'll either keep the file versions are the same all the time, or increase file versions but don't support down-grade anymore.

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.

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.
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...

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. Thanks again,

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. I hope that clears up what I need to do.. haha Thanks a bunch!! god bless. -Dk Brian Bakkebo wrote: Hi dkijc, I think you can do this, but a little unclear about the storing of icons somewhere else? Are you actually installing a program also or just icons? For storing the icons part you have a question in the installer I assume and it asks to download latest icons or choose a directory? If user answers yes, then go to web and download icons to a folder. The question is wouldnt you want to do this after they define the INSTALLDIR in the install?

Med vennlig hilsen /Regards Brian 2009/4/23 dkijc wwjdat2...@yahoo.com Hi Pally, Thank you so much for your response! That gives me hope haha. I was actually reading the blog by Neil and had a question. I understand I can get the directory to be set but that's an installation directory. Can I create a custom directory OR can I actually use the INSTALLDIR (or whatever it is called) and when the installation is run can I trick the installer so instead of using the directory for installation folder actually snatch that directory to be stored in a variable within our code so our application knows where to look for the thumbnails? We can fetched the thumbnails over the web just fine but now our application is deployed in the same machine where we fetch the thumbnails so instead of going through a loop with http request we can easily look for thumbnails in the local machine. The reason for asking the path for the folder is because thumbnails are not always stored in the same folder, as that is a preference that a user can set. The problem I was having was when I created a custom dialog (using orca)that asks whether the use wants our application to fetch the thumbnail over the web or just from their local machine. Opening a browse dialog works fine but every time I chose a folder and press 'ok' I'd get '2707' (target not specified). And wasn't sure exactly what was causing the problem. I'm assuming it probably has to do with custom action and was wondering if WiX had a better way of going about it. So my question still remains, is it possible to create a custom ID or variable to store the directory (which is not meant for installation but only purpose is to pass down the directory path into our code). I really hope that made sense... haha thanks, again! 1. The web stuff I'm not sure about. It's likely possible using

Re: [WiX-users] Reference custom directory
Hi Dk, ok trying to break this down for you. 1. You want to install the web app to a server based on a directory they select, etc. With this you could use the installdir to accomplish through wix. 2. In the installer, you want to ask the question to download the thumbnails, next right. 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 directory selection by the user? 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 the installdir? 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 little app that asks the question and copies the files over. Simple and done.

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!
