[WiX-users] single msi-file seems to need 1033.mst transform file
Hi, I have an installation with product language English (US) which compiles and links into a single msi-file. It runs on most PCs, however, lately I experienced a strange problem on a dutch OS where it seems to require an English transform file. I thought all this information is automatically merged with the msi file? Product Language is 1033. Package Languages are set to 1031,1033. I do not use any special compiler/linker options and no transform files at all. The log file is quite short: DEBUG: Error 2203: Database: 1033. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287038 1: 2203 2: 1033 3: -2147287038 Fout tijdens het toepassen van transforms.

Re: [WiX-users] single msi-file seems to need 1033.mst transform file
We had a similar problem. When using the transform trick, the initial language of the msi package has to be the language of the system (regional settings - location) or the transforming won't find the right mst file...

Re: [WiX-users] Subscribe Edit to SelectionChanged event of ListBox
Unfortunately the Listbox doesnt seem to publish any events. From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa368559(VS.85).aspx The ControlEvent Table specifies the control events that are started when a user interacts with a PushButton Control, CheckBox Control, or SelectionTree Control. These are the only controls that a user can use to initiate control events. Is it possible to redesign the UI to use a radio button group to choose between selection via listbox or selection via edit control ? Then the user wouldnt think it was strange if one didnt update the other because they are presented as mutually exclusive options.

Re: [WiX-users] Setup upgrade needs to care for 4th part of versionnumber
Hi, We also ran into this problem. It is just stupid that visual studio projects use 4 part version numbers and MSI only supports 3. Visual Studio doesn't. We're talking in the context of major upgrades and the ProductVersion property. In Visual Studio that's the Version property of the Setup Project. If you put 4 digits in there, its build fails, saying Must be of format ##.##.###. I suspect VS does this to ensure that you can't go ahead and build an upgrade that won't work because, after all, Visual Studio is building an MSI file! I was talking about the version numbers you can use in the resource files for executables that you create with Visual C++. The version number there has 4 parts... So that is two products made by Microsoft. One saying: look feel free to use 4 version numbers, the other one being the brick wall you run into when trying to create an installer :) - Kim -- *Kim Gybels Software Developer * kim.gyb...@metris.com mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com Tel: +32 16 74 01 01 Fax: +32 16 74 01 02 * Metris Europe * Interleuvenlaan 86 3001 Leuven Belgium www.metris.com http://www.metris.com/ This message and any attachment are privileged, confidential and contain private information.

[WiX-users] WixLibrary project WixUI declarations
I'm new to wix and have a couple of wix projects in our solution. I'm now trying to put the UI setup in to a common WixLibrary that our other setup programs can link to. I'm using Wix 3.0. I've created a library project with the following code: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? Wix xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi; Fragment !-- Setup the UI -- UIRef Id=WixUI_Minimal/ WixVariable Id=WixUIBannerBmp Value=Banner.jpg/ WixVariable Id=WixUIDialogBmp Value=Dialog.jpg/ Icon Id=AddRemove.ico SourceFile=addremove.ico/ Property Id=ARPPRODUCTICON Value=AddRemove.ico / /Fragment /Wix The images Banner.jpg and Dialog.jpg live in the library project folder. This library references the WixUIExtension dll and it builds find. I've then created a wix project that references this library but when I build that and run the resultant setup, I don't get the 'minimal' UI, I just get none (well, the progress bar doing the install). If I put the above code inside the actual wix project, then the UI works as expected. Are Wix libraries not meant for pre-compiling Wix code such as UI behaviour? Or do I have to do something else to get the actual wix project to link correctly to the library? I've just added the library as a project reference.

[WiX-users] Wix UI images and paths
I have the following code for the UI in my setup projects: UIRef Id=WixUI_Minimal/ WixVariable Id=WixUIBannerBmp Value=Banner.jpg/ WixVariable Id=WixUIDialogBmp Value=Dialog.jpg/ This code is actually in an include file that is shared by multiple wix projects. So Banner.jpg and Dialog.jpg don't live in each project folder, they're in a common location. So I've added relative include and reference paths to each Wix project to the location where the include file and the 2 jpgs are located. Both projects find the include file correctly via the include path but both fail to find the images. When specifying images like this, does the linker not search the reference paths for them? Is this a bug or is this as expected? If so, how can you share images across multiple projects? I've tried putting the common UI code in to a WixLibrary project but that doesn't work either (see my earlier post).

[WiX-users] WixVariables and GUIDs
I'm trying to put a GUID in to a wix variable but can't seem to make it work. I've successfully put the same GUID in to a pre-processor define and it works correctly.

Re: [WiX-users] single msi-file seems to need 1033.mst transform file
Using Package Languages to define the supported languages and embedded each supported language into the master msi is working fine for me. Here is what i have done: For example, i have Package Languages set to 1031,1033. Suppose I will use 1033 as my Master msi. for 1033, I have the following settings WixLocalization Culture=en-us Codepage=0 xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization; String Id=ProductLanguage Localizable=no1033/String String Id=LanguageCodePage Localizable=no0/String /WixLocalization and for 1031, i have the following settings WixLocalization Culture=de-de Codepage=1252 xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization; String Id=ProductLanguage Localizable=no1031/String String Id=LanguageCodePage Localizable=no1252/String /WixLocalization Now after compiling both the MSIs for 1033 and 1031. I will create an mst for 1031 and apply this transform to MSI for 1033. Doing this, the MSI is working fine with me on all locales and english resources are displayed on all locales except for 1031 (german resources are displayed in this case). And to add on this, If i run the MSI for 1033 without applying 1031 transform, it will give me an error that cannot find a transform to apply. Becuase in the Package Languages we set 1031 and 1033...so the msi is looking for a transform to run on 1031 if 1033 is the master MSI. I hope this will help.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix UI images and paths
OK, I've found the problem. A library is just re-formatted XML just embeds the WixVariable value as its written in the wxs file. So a solution to this is to change the WixVariable lines to by: WixVariable Id=WixUIBannerBmp Value=$(sys.SOURCEFILEDIR)Banner.jpg/ Which then embeds a full path to the file assuming it is in the current folder. This works fine if the library project is part of your solution (as ours is) but not so well if you are trying to share the compiled wxlib file.

So Banner.jpg and Dialog.jpg don't live in each project folder, they're in a common location. So I've added relative include and reference paths to each Wix project to the location where the include file and the 2 jpgs are located. Both projects find the include file correctly via the include path but both fail to find the images. When specifying images like this, does the linker not search the reference paths for them? Is this a bug or is this as expected? If so, how can you share images across multiple projects?

Odd that if I define the GUID as a pre-processor variable it doesn't require

But it works so great.

Re: [WiX-users] Setup upgrade needs to care for 4th part of versionnumber
It's worse than that: The FileVersion (and ProductVersion) values in the Win32 Version resource type (the 4-part one you refer to) allows 16-bit unsigned values in each of the four parts. The Windows Installer version allows 8-bit unsigned values in the first two parts and 16-bit unsigned values in the last two (although the fourth is ignored). The reason is that the Win32 version internally is a 64-bit number, while the MSI version internally is a 32-bit number. Visual Studio protects you by not allowing the fourth part (and further constraining the remaining three) in the Setup projects (so you don't have false expectations nor can you create an illegal version). I don't know the reason. MSI uses the Win32 structure (all 64-bits) when examining files comparing them to the rows in the File table, but it stores just 32-bits for the ProductVersion values it uses to compare MSI files. It may have something to do with the MSI 1.0 method of registering products (registry DWORDs) that was kept due to back-compat considerations. However, if you generate patches (MSP) you can use the Win32 notion of a version (4 16-bit numbers, or 64-bits) to order (and override) the version numbers (in other words, the same as the build-number system you use to generate the files' version resources). So, they upgraded where they could, while not where they couldn't without breaking things (you can always load an MSI intended for MSI 5.0 using MSI 1.0 and it has to understand what it is reading, even if it will reject it because you sent the minimum MSI you support to a higher number). -Blair -Original Message- From: Kim Gybels [mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 2:34 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setup upgrade needs to care for 4th part of versionnumber Hi, We also ran into this problem. It is just stupid that visual studio projects use 4 part version numbers and MSI only supports 3. Visual Studio doesn't. We're talking in the context of major upgrades and the ProductVersion property. In Visual Studio that's the Version property of the Setup Project. If you put 4 digits in there, its build fails, saying Must be of format ##.##.###. I suspect VS does this to ensure that you can't go ahead and build an upgrade that won't work because, after all, Visual Studio is building an MSI file! I was talking about the version numbers you can use in the resource files for executables that you create with Visual C++. The version number there has 4 parts...

[#FileId] is nearly equivalent to [!FileId], except the latter uses short filenames. Notice that WiX includes the double-quotes around the [#FileId] to avoid problems with spaces in the path. There are some warnings in the MSI documentation about [#FileId] only being resolved if the component installing the file has already been installed, so perhaps that has something to do with your problem. --Quinton -Original Message- From: Ryan Dai [mailto:ryan...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 4:23 PM To: Wix; b...@joyofsetup.com Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to register file type with wix 3 RTM?

If you have only a single Verb element, just omit the Sequence attribute. WiX v2 accepted the Sequence attribute when Advertised=no but did nothing with it; WiX v3 is more strict and doesn't just throw away what you give it. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!

Re: [WiX-users] Setup upgrade needs to care for 4th part of versionnumber
I guess the issue here is the expectation that the MSI property called ProductVersion should behave the same was as an individual version in a file resource? Even though they're used for different purposes? I feel a Raymond Chen moment coming on. MIDL version is just 2 digits (and therefore so are type library versions), HTTP header version is 18 characters, assembly versions don't behave like file versions in the GAC and so on. I'm just making the point here that the term version is completely overloaded, and anything that might be afflicted with that label is never going to be consistent with the meanings of all the others.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setup upgrade needs to care for 4th part of versionnumber It's worse than that: The FileVersion (and ProductVersion) values in the Win32 Version resource type (the 4-part one you refer to) allows 16-bit unsigned values in each of the four parts. The Windows Installer version allows 8-bit unsigned values in the first two parts and 16-bit unsigned values in the last two (although the fourth is ignored). The reason is that the Win32 version internally is a 64-bit number, while the MSI version internally is a 32-bit number. Visual Studio protects you by not allowing the fourth part (and further constraining the remaining three) in the Setup projects (so you don't have false expectations nor can you create an illegal version). I don't know the reason. MSI uses the Win32 structure (all 64-bits) when examining files comparing them to the rows in the File table, but it stores just 32-bits for the ProductVersion values it uses to compare MSI files. It may have something to do with the MSI 1.0 method of registering products (registry DWORDs) that was kept due to back-compat considerations. However, if you generate patches (MSP) you can use the Win32 notion of a version (4 16-bit numbers, or 64-bits) to order (and override) the version numbers (in other words, the same as the build-number system you use to generate the files' version resources). So, they upgraded where they could, while not where they couldn't without breaking things (you can always load an MSI intended for MSI 5.0 using MSI 1.0 and it has to understand what it is reading, even if it will reject it because you sent the minimum MSI you support to a higher number). -Blair -Original Message- From: Kim Gybels [mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 2:34 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setup upgrade needs to care for 4th part of versionnumber Hi, We also ran into this problem. It is just stupid that visual studio projects use 4 part version numbers and MSI only supports 3. Visual Studio doesn't. We're talking in the context of major upgrades and the ProductVersion property. In Visual Studio that's the Version property of the Setup Project. If you put 4 digits in there, its build fails, saying Must be of format ##.##.###. I suspect VS does this to ensure that you can't go ahead and build an upgrade that won't work because, after all, Visual Studio is building an MSI file! I was talking about the version numbers you can use in the resource files for executables that you create with Visual C++. The version number there has 4 parts... So that is two products made by Microsoft. One saying: look feel free to use 4 version numbers, the other one being the brick wall you run into when trying to create an installer :) - Kim -- *Kim Gybels Software Developer * kim.gyb...@metris.com mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com Tel: +32 16 74 01 01 Fax: +32 16 74 01 02 * Metris Europe * Interleuvenlaan 86 3001 Leuven Belgium www.metris.com http://www.metris.com/ This message and any attachment are privileged, confidential and contain private information.

[WiX-users] how to localize Error messages
Hi, I reused WIX dialogs in my project. To localize the strings, I copied all the string from WIX to my own wxl file. After localization, I found the error strings are localized correctly. However, the msi still display English string for rebooting dialog. I tried to remove Error1703 string from the resource file and the msi still can be built successfully. This means msi does not use the error string in my resource file. How can I make my msi use the error strings in my localized resource file?
