Re: [WiX-users] change the default wixui dialog color

[Blair]

This is very often discussed (search the archives, this is the second time
this week).

This is a known limitation of the Windows Installer UI (WiX doesn't provide
you a UI, it exposes Windows Installer's so you can use it). The two
workarounds involve changing your background graphic or shrinking your
control down to the size of the checkbox itself and adding a transparent
static text with another copy of the checkbox text.

Subject: [WiX-users] change the default wixui dialog color

Hi All, 

I tried using ExitDialog (WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT) to allow the
user to control whether our application is run at the end of the install.
However, the entire checkbox control has a gray background. Is it possible
to change the background color to white  or make it transparent?

Thanks, 

Nan

Re: [WiX-users] Unable to print EULA using Wix CA

[Blair]

In the sources for 3.5 I glanced at (about a month or so old) the PrintEula
CA is in the WixUIExtension, not the WixUtilExtension. A simple
 and the DoAction you already have
(changing the @Value) should be sufficient (you don't need to declare the
CustomAction itself, just reference it) and won't add anything more than the
custom action info and the binary stream.

I don't see any WixCA dll in the latest version of Wix 3.5 setup. Seems in 
Wix 3.5 its being done using WixUtilExtension.dll and am providing that 
extension in the command line for light using '-ext'.


Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] How to save connection Information during installation

[Michael Osmond]

Adnan

Example below should be similar.  

In this one we have a property BAYSERVER that can be tied to a control on a 
dialog.   We set the property with a custom action to default to the local 
computer name (this value is used to build a URL for a web application).

This part writes the registry value


  
  


This part defines the property and the registry search to find it.  






This is the custom action to set the default value (make sure it runs in either 
UI or non UI, but not to update the property if it is already set (ie by the 
Registry Search).



 


   
 
   


Finally you will need to make sure that the AppSearch action is scheduled.

Regards

Michael

Re: [WiX-users] How to save connection Information during installation

[Michael Osmond]

Hello Adnan

The way I do this is I bind each of the input values into properties and then 
write each property to a registry value, then on upgrade I use the Registry 
Search facility in MSI to read these properties from the registry back into the 
properties

In most cases I also give the properties a default value.

Hi Experts,
How can i save the Information like Server, Port, DBName, Alias, Timeout,

To accomplish this task i am creating a new window after License Window. I
am writing in DBDlg.wxs a Fragment, this Fragment contains Dialog with

which must be save during installation.

1. Server must have input type as checkbox and can take only "localhost"

to implement it?
2. Other entries have input type Text
3. TimeOut Default Value must be 60
4. DBName and Alias must may not begin with integer.
5. IP, Port and TimeOut must be numeric.
6. If any File with ths same name already exists then it installation
process must skip this step without overwriting it.

How to accomplish these steps?
this code i just created for test. But i need some help to understand the

Re: [WiX-users] Merge Modules and Patching

[Svet Bonev]

WiX 3.0 patches produced using torch on wixpdbs will not include payload coming 
from merge modules. This is by design because the merge modules are merged 
*after* the wixpdbs are created.

You have 2 options:
1) Use admin images instead of wixpdbs.
2) Change your build process to use melt.exe on the merge modules to decompile 
them to native WiX and then change your authoring to use ComponentGroupRef 
instead of Merge/MergeRef.

Using admin images is most likely the cheaper path you can take.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Merge Modules and Patching

Are you totally sure the patch doesn't contain the new files from the merge 
module? Have you checked a verbose log of applying the patch? You may find the 
problem is Windows Installer not patching the files rather than them not being 
included in the patch. If you have files with resources (executables, DLL's, 
OCX's etc) and you haven't incremented the version numbers, Windows Installer 
won't patch the file as it looks at the version numbers, sees them as being the 
same & assumes they are the same even if the files themselves are completely 
different (obviously this only happens for files with resources, for 'normal'
files it will compare timestamps and/or file sizes).

I've not used the "WiX only" method of generating patches as I started using 
the Windows SDK method when I was using WiX 2.0 & I'm happy enough with it not 
to want to change it so some, all or none of this may or may not be applicable 
here.

So i guess I'll just have to extract the merge module and add its
contents to the installer package. That way I know the patch will
definetly pick up any changes.
Thanks anyway.

Subject: [WiX-users] modifying Welcome Dialog text on upgrade vs install

Hey there,

I would like the UI to display a slightly different message to the user
when we are upgrading (or downgrading) than the standard welcome dialog
that is displayed on install.

To achieve this, I am trying to conditionally populate a property with
the text we would like to display, which differs depending on whether we
are installing or upgrading:





  NOT
OLDERVERSIONDETECTED
  OLDERVERSIONDETECTED


and then display the value of this property in my custom Welcome Dialog,
by defining its description text control with:



When I compile this, the welcome dialog does display the text "Hello
C:\Program Files\Resolver One". So the custom dialog is clearly being
displayed, and the property WIXUI_INSTALLDIR is being dereferenced. 
Presumably my custom property (RESOLVER_WELCOME_TEXT) is either never
being set, or is set sometime after this welcome dialog is displayed.

We tried displaying this property on the ExitDialog too, but it appeared
blank there as well - so it looks like our property is never being set.

We tried replacing the condition in our custom action (NOT
OLDERVERSIONDETECTED) with 1, but this didn't change anything.

We have a second InstallExecuteSequence later in our main .wxs file. We
tried merging the two, in case the second definition replaced the first,
but to no avail.

Any help is much appreciated. Are we even going about this the right
way?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Re: [WiX-users] WiX and certificates

[Mike Carlson (DEV DIV)]

1) I should have mentioned this before, but I hope that isn't the real password 
you've shown in the commented authoring. You may want to consider setting the 
password to a property value like "MYCERTPASSWORD", which can be set on the 
commandline at install-time. That way the cert password isn't hardcoded in the 
.msi (but it will require that property to be set on the commandline in order 
for the MSI to install).
2) Go ahead and file a bug on SF to investigate. One thing to clarify in the 
bug - when you say the install "fails every time after", are you referring to a 
repair scenario, or "uninstall" then "install"? Also, if you have a repro 
sample (with logs) using a dummy cert, that will help the investigation.

Thanks,
Mike Carlson

I have documented few scenarios and known solutions for this error 1603.  Do

I also have a 'Print' button on that dialog and am doing the following thing 
when the 'Print' button is clicked:






I am defining the PrintEula customaction as:




I am calling light from command-line as:

light .\MySetup\MySetup.wixobj -loc .\MySetup\MySetup.wxl -ext WixUtilExtension

But, when I run the MSI and click on the 'Print' button, I get the following 
error:

Re: [WiX-users] How to change background color behind the checkbox - last install page

[Pally Sandher]

You can't *easily* change the background bitmap on the Exit Dialog
without changing it on all other dialogs which use that bitmap
(WelcomeDlg is the main one which springs to mind, can't think of any
others off the top of my head right now but there's a few). If you want
to try it change the bitmap (or the value) of WixVariable
Id="WixUIDialogBmp" & you'll see what I mean.

If you want to a different bitmap for the Exit Dialog only you'll have
to re-author the Exit Dialog. Neil Sleightholm's blog has a pretty good
article on how to modify the stock WiXUI's at
http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html
However if you're going to all that trouble you could simply resize the
checkbox so it is only the size of the checkbox itself & then add a text
control next to it with your text & the transparency attribute. That way
your background image stays consistent & you get your transparent text.

This will never be "fixed" btw. Either write your own work-around as
suggested above or learn to live with the horrible grey box (or remove
the requirement for that functionality).

Re: [WiX-users] Merge Modules and Patching

[Pally Sandher]

Are you totally sure the patch doesn't contain the new files from the
merge module? Have you checked a verbose log of applying the patch? You
may find the problem is Windows Installer not patching the files rather
than them not being included in the patch. If you have files with
resources (executables, DLL's, OCX's etc) and you haven't incremented
the version numbers, Windows Installer won't patch the file as it looks
at the version numbers, sees them as being the same & assumes they are
the same even if the files themselves are completely different
(obviously this only happens for files with resources, for 'normal'
files it will compare timestamps and/or file sizes).

I've not used the "WiX only" method of generating patches as I started
using the Windows SDK method when I was using WiX 2.0 & I'm happy enough
with it not to want to change it so some, all or none of this may or may
not be applicable here.

So i guess I'll just have to extract the merge module and add its
contents to the installer package. That way I know the patch will
definetly pick up any changes.
Thanks anyway.
