Re: [WiX-users] Does XmlConfig works on DCML format?
Hi again, Upon doing some trial and error, I was able to set the value of Object1.log.debug-level=5 by using this XPath: //Object[\[]Name=Object1[\]]/SubObjects/Object[\[]Name=log[\]]/SubObjects/Object[\[]Name=debug-level[\]]/value I wonder if this is the best and easy way to do this?

[WiX-users] How to create the installation package, which is able to upgrade
Hi Wix-users, I have created the installation package with wix. Now I have a new task that .msi should be upgradable. It means that the newly built .msi should be installed without uninstalling the last version, when some files changed in the package. However, my newly built .msi can not be installed.

[WiX-users] No way to specify a name for WebApplicationExtension
Hello WiX community, I've faced with an interesting problem. IIS7 allows specifying a name for script maps, those you can set by WebApplicatonExtension element. And moreover, it can distinguish the script maps by this name only, meaning other attributes can be equal. On the other hand, WiX table has the WebApplication ID and Extension fields as a key, which prevents have two mappings to a single extension. Is this another limitation of IIS7 support in WiX IIsExtension, not implemented in IIS6 compatibility interface? Does anyone know a kind of workaround? Thank you. -- Yan -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] A call to aspnet_regiis -s fails for newlycreatedsite However, I've seen the samples like this and I'm not sure it is a flexible solution. You simply hardcode the script maps, but what if newer versions of IIS add some more? Or if there were customizations on a target machine I'm not aware about? Simply add the ones you need, I think this is more flexible but YMMV. Due to the fact that aspnet_regiis does the things, why is it a bad practice to use it? And also, the main question is why it breaks ASP.NET down being called as a custom action? As you have found running exes from custom actions is not reliable, also you cannot undo the change easily. I find this solution works reliably so chose to use it, your situation may be different. Neil -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [WiX-users] is it possible to disable user uninstall while still enable major upgrade?
Any idea? Thanks. -Original Message- From: Lian Jiang [mailto:lji...@microsoft.com] Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 1:17 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: [WiX-users] is it possible to disable user uninstall while still enable major upgrade? Hi, I have an msi which support uninstallation and major upgrade. Now I want to update it for below purposes: (1)Users cannot use this msi to uninstall, which means: (1.1) A user right clicks my application item in Add/Remove programs, he can only see repair option, no remove option. (1.2) A user cannot uninstall my application by using msiexec /x my.msi /q. (1.3) A user cannot use remove button in MaintainanceType dialog to uninstall. This button must be hidden or disabled. (2)Major upgrade still work, which means the msi can uninstall a previous version and install a new version. Is this possible? Appreciate your hint.

[WiX-users] Service failed to start using WiX3.0
Hello, everyone! I'm a totally newbie in WiX. I was using WiX3.0 and wanted to install a windows service through it, I did as the guide says and I can install the service but I can't start it on install. The message I got is Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and I'm using one administrator account in Windows XP. Here's my code, any suggestion? I'd appreciate it! {{{ DirectoryRef Id=APPLICATIONFOLDER Component Id=WindowsFormApp1 Guid=cdd8eb1b-6584-46ae-88c5-54e31ea1ae16 Location=local File Id=WindowsFormApp1.exe Name=$(var.WindowsFormApp1.TargetFileName) Source=$(var.WindowsFormApp1.TargetPath) DiskId=1 KeyPath=yes / ServiceInstall Id=TestServiceID Type=ownProcess Vital=yes Name=BonnTestService Description=Bonndeng Test Service!

Re: [WiX-users] Env variables don't get deleted
I don't get this problem always. I installed and uninstalled the msi multiple times without any problem. But after few attempts, I noticed that the env variable had not got removed. Might this be a problem with WindowsInstaller ?

Action=remove must be used when environment variable needs to be deleted *on install*. As Rob already mentioned, there is nothing wrong with Environment tag itself. Problem is somewhere outside. If component is not made permanent, another thing to look for is any condition on component or RemoveEnvironmentStrings in InstallExecuteSequence. Without seeing more of original wxs we are just guessing here.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Env variables don't get deleted For what it's worth, here's the text from the schema description. Pay attention to the description of the remove action Specfies whether the environmental variable should be created, set or removed when the parent component is installed. This attribute's value must be one of the following: create Creates the environment variable if it does not exist, then set it during installation. This has no effect on the value of the environment variable if it already exists. set Creates the environment variable if it does not exist, and then set it during installation. If the environment variable exists, set it during the installation. remove Removes the environment variable during an installation. The installer only removes an environment variable during an installation if the name and value of the variable match the entries in the Name and Value fields of the Environment table. If you want to remove an environment variable, regardless of its value, use the '!' syntax, and leave the Value field empty. -Original Message- From: sandun css [mailto:sandun...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 5:27 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
