Re: [WiX-users] questions about installer speed and progress monitoring
Bob, What kind of failures are handled by this rollback feature? Is it failure like user pressing cancel during installation, or rather disk failure, or privileges problem, or files conflict, or something else? I'm trying to asses, how much I need it. Is it possible to switch off that rollback and related bookkeeping? Generally I'd prefer 90% of my users have faster install, rather than 1% of them be able to use rollback when they need it. Unless this rollback is used by more than 1% of the users... :-) thanks Jacek On Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 8:10 PM, Bob Arnson b...@joyofsetup.com wrote: On 2/19/2010 4:37 AM, Jacek Pospychała wrote: Do you know what extra does the installer do, that takes so much time?

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Install - Custom Dialog, Next button needs to be clicked twice dialog to advance - XML Source
Email recap for first time readers:
I've got a WIX project where I have some custom dialogs along with the standard
dialogs.
One of the custom dialogs, the next button was advancing the install to the
next dialog with a single click.
I put in a small change to the install and the next button then needed two
clicks in order to get the dialogs to advance. I backed out this change however
the double click on the next button still stayed.
Once I get past this dialog and then backtrack (using the back buttons) and
then come upon this dialog again, the next button only needs one click to
advance, so this double click scenario only happens when the custom dialog is
used for the first time.
I don't see any errors in the install log when I use the /l*v logging option on
the msiexec.

the first click.

Re: [WiX-users] Admin check in Win 2008?
Hi Blair, Sorry about that - i had misunderstood what you meant. Now i get it. I've now stopped defining MSIREALUSERADMINDETECTION and am testing for privileged. I've added a note in the introductory panel as you suggest. Now it works as you expect. Thanks again! Blair-2 wrote: That is exactly what I explained. With UAC on, the user token you launch the MSI with is not a member of Admins (the token you retrieve clicking the Continue button is). To compensate, Windows Installer considers everyone a member of Administrators (since UAC provides over-the-shoulder authorization) so that legacy installation packages will still work. A non-legacy installer that defines the MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION property will get different behavior, which you are seeing. My personal opinion: In your introductory dialog, mention that administrator's privileges will be required to install this package. Don't define MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION. Test for Privileged. Don't test for AdminUser. If the user proceeds through all of the screens but doesn't know an administrator's password, they were warned and no harm is otherwise done. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Admin-check-in-Win-2008-tp4557002p4613760.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[WiX-users] ODBCDataSource formatted strings for dynamic naming
I am creating a System DSN in my installer using an Oracle ODBC driver. I am resolving the name and version of the driver with a custom action (I have to loop through the Oracle registry hive, otherwise I would have used RegistrySearch) during the InstallUISequence before LaunchConditions. The only problem seems to be that ODBCDataSource/@DriverName and the nested Property/@Value are not formatted strings. This is my existing code: Component Id=DSN.ABC_ORACLE Guid=... Permanent=yes ODBCDataSource Id=ODBCDSN Name=ABC_ORACLE Registration=machine DriverName=[ORACLE_DRIVER_NAME] Property Id=DRIVER Value=[ORACLE_DRIVER_NAME]/ /ODBCDataSource /Component This just attempts to create a DSN using a driver named [ORACLE_DRIVER_NAME], which of course doesn't exist, instead of the value of the property, which should be something like Oracle in OraHome92. (I verified the property is being set correctly.)

[WiX-users] missing install files
In short: when I install my newer msi package over an older existing install, the old files are deleted but are not replaced with their newer versions. I end up with all overlapping files gone, and only newly-added files remain. For example: Old WXS: Directory Id='folder_folder' Name='folder' Component Id='folder' Guid='' File Id='f1' Source='f1' / File Id='f2' Source='f2' / File Id='f3' Source='f3' / /Component /Directory New WXS: Directory Id='folder_folder' Name='folder' Component Id='folder' Guid='' File Id='f1' Source='f1' / File Id='f2' Source='f2' / File Id='f3' Source='f3' / File Id='f4' Source='f4' / File Id='f5' Source='f5' / /Component /Directory After installing new over old, my resulting folder only has f4 and f5... I've lost f1 f2 f3. I understand now that I probably shouldn't have done it this way... based on what I'm reading it seems a component per file would have been the way to go but it wasn't clear at the time of initial creation that this would be an issue... didn't know to look for the solution of a problem I didn't know I had. Anyway, I've read through a few similar threads and I honestly just don't get what the easiest way out of my situation is. My old package has 30 or so directory components with lots of files and directories under each component. Of course now I have this old package installed in lots of customer locations. My situation is further complicated by the fact that some customers have modified some resources and I don't want my update to overwrite anything they've changed by hand. I've tried a few things, unsuccessfully: 1) tried simply changing the component Guid... no change in behavior... only the new files result. 2) tried changing RemoveExistingProducts After=InstallFinalize / to RemoveExistingProducts After=InstallInitialize /... which resulted in me getting all the files correctly, but customer-modified resources were gone. 3) tried adding Property Id='REINSTALLMODE' Value='amus'/... resulted in some behavior I didn't understand where all the feature options were X'd out... but selecting them to install still resulted in only new files. 4) tried making a component per file with all new Guids... that too resulted in only the new files. Am I missing something basic I hope? Any help appreciated in recovering from this situation and making it easier in the future.

Re: [WiX-users] Appsearch for dword
How are you writing this registry entry? There's nothing explicit in the MSI file's registry table that says something is a dword or a string - it's in the value. If you write #2 to the registry Windows Installer will create it as a dword. If you prefix it with #x it will create it as binary. So that's why I'm wondering how you are writing this item to the registry. It looks to me that somebody has code somewhere that is parsing #2 and deciding it's a string, but that isn't what Windows Installer would do.

Re: [WiX-users] missing install files
The easiest way out is to move the RemoveExistingProducts action to be before InstallInitialize. However, there are situations where that doesn't seem to work, and it carries (sometimes significant) upgrade costs. Any better solution would involve a good in-depth analysis which is best done one-on-one and involves a time commitment because recovering from component rule violations for already released products has few good solutions and many severe limitations and have to be reviewed case-by-case since each possible rule-of-thumb has side effects that are often subtle.
