It's in MBF\Installer. There's no tutorial, but the Wix code and batch files
are all there.

[WiX-users] How to create a big MSI like Microsoft Office

[puyo puy]

My company want to create a big msi installer that will
bundle different products.  We want to
create something similar to Microsoft office that included Word, Excel, Outlook
etc.. I’m doing research to find the best way to archive that.  The requirement 
was we cannot use exe that
mean I cannot use bootstrapper.   I’m think of creating msm for each product and
assign a feature for each msm.  The features
tree structure will look like that:

 

Office

 |_Word => Word.msm

 |_Excel =>
Excel.msm

 |_Outlook =>
Outlook.msm

 

Is that a good approach? 
Any better idea? 

 

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

puyo

Re: [WiX-users] "This will store the source file separately in the final installation package"

[Sascha Beaumont]

I would say that VC++ automatically references/extracts/adds the item
for you without requiring an additional manual step, while WiX just
does exactly what you specify.

[WiX-users] how to install .net4 (or .net 3.5) with latest wix 3.5?

[Ivo Stoyanov]

I am using latest wix 3.5 with vs.2010 rc.
I want to create bootstrap for .net 4 but can't figure out how to do it.
I found some blog samples how to edit wixproj in order to create .net 3.5 
bootstrapper - no luck with that either.
I have win sdk 6.0 and latest win 7 sdk and configured paths properly.
I am getting errors about missing bin files.

Is this working yet or I should wait for wix 3.5 to be out of beta?

Re: [WiX-users] Launch an exe from ExitDialog using Wix 2.0

If you require UAC elevation, then you need to ensure that it's a
deferred execution CA. Here's the example from the manual using
CAQuietExec :)

[WiX-users] XmlConfig and Insert

[John Nannenga]

Anyone have any idea as to how to go about specifying the position within an 
XML document to insert a node, relative to some other node?

SharePoint has a 'wss_minimaltrust.config' file which contains a 
firstmatchcodegroup construct (reference  
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.policy.firstmatchcodegroup_members.aspx
 ) in which the ordering of the nodes is indeed important.

















I can't seem to find a way using XmlFile or XmlConfig to accomplish this 
objective.


Anyone out there encountered this type of thing?

Re: [WiX-users] Single msi with multi languages installs according to OS display language

[Christopher Painter]

I'm new to multilanguage and I'm trying to understand something.   

Scenario:  A WiX installer that has language transforms and a bootstrapper to 
select the transform but also consumes multilanguage merge modules with their 
own localization transforms for things like ShortCuts and Service Names.

What does the integration of this look like?  Will WiX merge those embedded MSM 
transforms into the resulting MSI?   Do you have to call each one of them 
specifically with TRANSFORMS= ?

Sorry, very new to this side of MSI.

Re: [WiX-users] Single msi with multi languages installs according to OS display language

[Fan Zhang (UPG)]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply! Good to hear that wix3.5 will soon have a bootstrapper. 
As for now, do I need to write a console application which reads OS display 
language and then passes it to msiexec? I looked at bootstrapper in MSBuild 
with examples like below. However, it is not clear to me how things work for me 
(as this bootstrapper installs prerequisites, plus culture is hard coded, while 
my case wants language parameter be passed to the only msi at install-time).

http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"; ToolsVersion="3.5">
  

  TRUE
  Windows Installer 3.1
  true

  

  

  


Please let me know if you have any further information or instruction. Thanks 
for your help!

Thanks,
Fan

You need to use a bootstrapper (an EXE designed for running one or more 
installation packages) that will pass the appropriate language property to the 
MSI at install-time.

WiX 3.5 will have a bootstrapper called Burn, but it's still under development 
right now.

Subject: [WiX-users] Single msi with multi languages installs according to OS 
display language

Hello,

I want to make a single msi with multi languages including en-us, de-de, zh-cn, 
etc. When the msi is installed, it installs according to OS display language. 
By following instructions at "9.1 Morphing Installers" at 
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson9.php#9.1. I can do it manually like 
below:

torch -p -t language "en-us\MMM.msi" "de-de\MMM.msi" -out de-de.mst
EmbedTransform "en-us\MMM.msi" de-de.mst
msiexec /i "en-us\MMM.msi" TRANSFORMS=":de-de.mst"

If I want the msi choose language automatically according to the current OS 
display language. Do you know how can I achieve it?

Thanks,
Fan

[WiX-users] "This will store the source file separately in the final installation package"

[Kristoffer Danielsson]

I read this in the WIX tutorial:


This will store the source file separately in the final installation packagee 
(so if you refer to your main executable you will end up with two copies). If 
the size of the file is large enough to cause concern create a small .exe or 
.ico containing nothing but the icons.

That makes no sense! In VC++ I can use the exe as an icon without having to add 
it multiple times or extract the icons used.
 
Please clarify!
Thanks.

[WiX-users] Multilanguage Merge Module

[Christopher Painter]

Has anyone ever seen an example of how to make a multiple language merge module 
using WiX?  I found a reference to this in the SDK but when I try to do it in 
InstallShield it complains that Merge Module Projects don't support it.  I 
think this is an InstallShield bug/limitation and I'm trying to figure out  how 
to make it work in WiX.

Re: [WiX-users] IIS WebServiceExtension removed on repair

[pmdarrow]

Thank you so much Peter, that indeed was the problem. AspDllPath wasn't
getting set properly because I had a condition on the SetProperty element
for AspDllPath:


  IISMAJORVERSION="#6" AND &ConfigureIIS=3


During a repair, feature states don't seem to get set. I think if I put "OR
Installed" in the condition it will work properly.

Re: [WiX-users] help

[Blair]

"Media", in Windows Installer, doesn't just refer to CABs containing files
described in the File table (whether those cabs are embedded in the MSI or
not), it also refers to the media containing the files external to the MSI
(outside of any cabs). Any File element requires at least one Media element.
You can "configure" the Media element with an Id of "1" to not cab anything
to get the layout you are describing.

The thing is I dont have any reference to media:1 or diskid in the wxs file
as I am not including them in the MSI, but instead am going to keep the
files along side the installer as the raw files.
 
Can anyone help?
 
Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] Single msi with multi languages installs according to OS display language

[Mike Carlson (DEV DIV)]

You need to use a bootstrapper (an EXE designed for running one or more 
installation packages) that will pass the appropriate language property to the 
MSI at install-time.

WiX 3.5 will have a bootstrapper called Burn, but it's still under development 
right now.

Thanks,
Mike Carlson

Hello,

By following instructions at "9.1 Morphing Installers" at

below:

torch -p -t language "en-us\MMM.msi" "de-de\MMM.msi" -out de-de.mst

msiexec /i "en-us\MMM.msi" TRANSFORMS=":de-de.mst"

If I want the msi choose language automatically according to the current OS 
display language. Do you know how can I achieve it?

Re: [WiX-users] wixproj question

[Tony Paloma]

Votive doesn't support wildcards or variables in the include path for Compile 
items. You'll still be able to build it from the command line, but you won't be 
able to load the project in Visual Studio.

Newer versions of Votive in WiX 3.5 should give an error message when loading 
projects using wildcards.

As far as I know, VS uses an "msbuild-like" parser/engine instead of simply 
using msbuild "out-of-the-box" and that engine may be "concerned" over the use 
of variables outside of its control. However, without testing it, what happens 
if you put the backslash Peter suggests between the env-value and the filename?

That's what I thought to, but adding that line to the project file prevents the

wixproj files are msbuild files, not wix files, so you would use the msbuild

Re: [WiX-users] Ensuring an MSI can only be installed per-machine

[Wilson, Phil]

If you really care, then author a (type 51) custom action that sets ALLUSERS to 
1 so that it doesn't matter if it gets specified on the command line.

ALLUSERS=2 is often not what you want because it simply backs off to a per-user 
install if the user doesn't have enough privilege.

Subject: [WiX-users] Ensuring an MSI can only be installed per-machine

I have set the Package/@InstallScope attribute in my WiX source file
to "perMachine". As I understand things, this sets the ALLUSERS
property to 1. This effectively causes my MSI to default to a
per-machine installation, but does not entirely prevent per-user
installs since ALLUSERS can be overridden on the command line.

-- If I only ever want my installer to be used per-machine, is it
recommended that I do something to try and prevent users overriding
ALLUSERS?

I was investigating exactly what I might do and tried to prevent
per-user installations with a launch condition on "ALLUSERS=1". I
tried:

ALLUSERS=1

Unfortunately, this had very little effect. Whilst it prevented
installation with ALLUSERS="", if ALLUSERS was set to any value, e.g.
ALLUSERS=2, the installation was allowed to continue. Also, it seemed
that repair and uninstall were allowed to go ahead no matter what the
value of ALLUSERS.

-- Why did this condition not work as planned?

The thing is I dont have any reference to media:1 or diskid in the wxs file as 
I am not including them in the MSI, but instead am going to keep the files

Can anyone help?
 
Thanks

[WiX-users] duplicate file-names; depending on conditions

[Johann Taferl, T-AU]

Hello,

 

I am new in Wix and already having problems.

I have to install some driver to a given folder. For Win Vista, they
have to- and for all previous Win-versions, they must not be signed. To
solve this problem I thought of two separate merge-modules. To install
the correct one, I use conditions:

 



  

  





  

  



 

Naturally, while compiling my setup, following errors like following
occurred:

"ICE30: The target file 'Driver.cat' is installed in '...' by two
different components ... This breaks component reference counting."

 

Does someone know a solution for this problem?

 

Thanks,

Johann

We ran into a similar set of issues and went for the simple approach of 
putting the 32 bit components under Directory/@Id="CommonFilesFolder".

It has the disadvantage that we're forcing the files onto the system 
disk, rather than giving the user the choice of where to install them, 
but in our case they were small enough for this not to be a big issue.

[WiX-users] migratefeaturestates

[lewisv]

I am trying to get the migratefeature state options working.

I installed a first version of mu application and went through custom to set
the features to non-default items
Then ran my major upgrade, and chose custom, but the chosen features were
not selected. 
I ran the verbose log, and it does seem that the migratefeaturesstates is
getting called. 
The action started and ended with a return value of 0

None of my features have changed. So i really don't know what i am doing
wrong.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix uninstall problem

[thurein]

Yeah, I am looking for the main cause, I am not sure why, but it seems like
the user inputs from UI are not getting correctly in msi 3.1.  In my
installer, I have a custom dialog to allow the user to type in the web site
name and port under which, the virtual directory will be created.  After
that I keep those values in the registry for the uninstallation purpose. 
What I was trying to say is, which windows installer 3.1 the input values
from UI (properties) are not getting correctly so no values were persisted
to registry, any idea ?

Thanks

MSI will not start an elevated process except as a deferred, 
no-impersonate custom action. You're trying to run it as a non-deferred 
CA so it won't be elevated. Move your setup logic into your installer 
instead.

MSI doesn't persist property values for you, so you need to write them 
like you're doing and retrieve them using RegistrySearch for maintenance 
mode like reinstall.

I'd suggest enabling verbose logging (see 
http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/07/15/verbose-logging-from-wcautil/ for 
details) to see if ExecXmlConfig is doing anything. It took 400 
milliseconds so it's doing something but there are some additional 
verbose messages that might give a clue.

Re: [WiX-users] Set a registry value upon clicking finish button

[Pally Sandher]

It's been a while since I used WiX 2.0 but I would check what your
Execute & Impersonate attributes are for your custom action. AFAIK you
should set Execute="deferred" & Impersonate="no" but I may be wrong as
it's been a long time since I've messed with UAC & Custom Actions (Rob M
& others on the list drummed the idea that Custom Actions are bad into
me during my formative WiX years so I try to avoid using them as much as
possible).

Does your MSI ask for elevation on Vista before it begins the
InstallExecuteSequence? The "Install" button on the PrepareDlg will have
the UAC shield & you'll see the UAC prompt after you click it if it
does. It should be OK in that case with the above attributes on your
Custom Action.

Re: [WiX-users] Checking the space in the install path(Please help me)

[Pally Sandher]

I'd do something similar to the checkbox on the LicenseAgreementDlg. You can 
find it in the WiX sources at 
src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\LicenseAgreementDlg.wxs (WiX sources distributions 
can be found on SourceForge).

Disable the "Next" button on the dialog page where they select the installation 
path, have a "Check for valid path" button on that dialog which checks the path 
entered for spaces & put some text there to tell the user they need to make 
sure the path has no spaces in it. If the path is valid enable the "Next" 
button. The "Check for valid path" button can simply run a custom action that 
checks a supplied property for spaces & returns true or false which you can 
probably do quite easily using DTF. That eliminates the need for your warning 
dialog entirely.

Good luck.

Dear All,
 
I have a problem with publish element, which couldn't find its solution. One of 
the files which is going to be installed on the target machine can not work if 
there is a space in the path, so I need to check the install path to ensure 
there is no space in it. I need to show a custom warning dialog to the user if 
he use an install path with space, and return to the last dialog to select the 
installation path again.How should I write this publish element to check the

Re: [WiX-users] Wix uninstall problem

[Pally Sandher]

I'd suggest looking at what's causing the problem rather than assuming a
blanket upgrade to Windows Installer 4.5 as being a solution since
Windows Installer 4.5 isn't even pushed to Windows XP machines by
Windows Update, it's a manual upgrade. Considering I have people
complaining about things like XP SP3, MSXML 6.0 SP2 & .NET 2.0 Framework
being pre-requisites of our application (and thus my installers) all of
which are pushed out by Windows Update I'd find it hard to push
something to users which even Microsoft don't.

Writing some Properties to the Registry during install then retrieving
them using RegistrySearches during Uninstall is pretty low in terms of
complexity so if it's failing on Windows Installer 3.1 there's going to
be a reason for it. Are you Properties being populated before they're
attempted to be written? From your logs on an earlier post I'd have to
guess that they're not.

I have found out the problem, it was because of the msi version
installed on the installing machine.  Registry values are not writing on
the msi version
3.1 machine, so, I upgrade to 4.5 (msi version) and now its working.

Re: [WiX-users] Set a registry value upon clicking finish button

[Pally Sandher]

Not without using a Custom Action to do it out with your installation
sequence. ExitDialog is shown after InstallFinalize (assuming successful
installation), WriteRegistryValues must be between InstallInitialize &
InstallFinalize.

Re: [WiX-users] disk cost dialog

[Blair]

E: has the largest amount of free space, so as a result the ROOTDRIVE
property is set to that drive (since you likely didn't set that property).
Since TARGETDIR uses ROOTDRIVE for its default (since you likely didn't set
that either) and TARGETDIR is the "top-most" directory in the directory
tree, all directories under TARGETDIR that aren't under a "predefined"
directory (or some other path you assign directly) will use that volume.

>From the first paragraph of this blog post by Heath
(http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2010/02/26/testing-for-components-that
-install-under-targetdir.aspx):

"A while back I explained how Windows Installer sets the TARGETDIR property
to the root of the fixed drive with the most free space available. The
problem is that even an attached USB external drive can appear as a fixed
drive, and these may be later detached. If components are installed to that
drive and the drive is detached, repairing, patching, or even uninstalling
the product may fail because the components are not available and cannot be
updated or removed. This is also one potential reason Windows Installer may
trigger a repair after a failed resiliency check."

It is recommended that no components use TARGETDIR or ROOTDRIVE directly
(unless that is really what you are trying to do) and that all
"subdirectories" of TARGETDIR are either well-known directories (such as
program files) or are directories you supply paths to via
AppSearch/RegistrySearch/etc. or similar custom action or a required
bootstrapper.

I read the example from the wix tutorials on how to do custom actions that
are not a part of Wix.
The tutorial states to use a dll and gives an example in c.  Problem is I
can't read c so I do not understand what is going on (vb.net and c# work for
me).  

I created a simple dll in c# to create a folder "c:\temp\myfolder" using a
method named "MakeMyFolder".

How do I call the method of the function from Wix?  An example showing what
in Wix is pointing to what in the dll would be awesome!

Re: [WiX-users] SSRS deployment using Custom Actions - Error

[Blair]

In Windows Installer there are only two possible credentials that are used:
those of the "installing user" (without changing elevation status) and
"local system". The only thing that UAC is used for by Windows Installer is
permissions/access to the service.

Re: [WiX-users] wixproj question

As far as I know, VS uses an "msbuild-like" parser/engine instead of simply
using msbuild "out-of-the-box" and that engine may be "concerned" over the
use of variables outside of its control. However, without testing it, what
happens if you put the backslash Peter suggests between the env-value and
the filename?

Re: [WiX-users] How many check box can I have on the ExitDialog?

[Pally Sandher]

The stock UI's only have one as described in the How To page
(http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/run_program_after_install.htm)
however there's nothing stopping you modifying the ExitDialog in the
stock UI you're using to add anything you would like. Neil Sleightholm
wrote a blog post on Customising the UI's in this way which you may find
useful at
http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html
You should be able to simply copy the code for the existing checkbox &
duplicate it (modifying the appropriate ID's, Properties etc where
necessary).

Good Luck.

Re: [WiX-users] Ensuring an MSI can only be installed per-machine

[Pally Sandher]

ALLUSERS="2" is a valid setting.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367559(VS.85).aspx

As Thorsten said on his reply, don't worry too much about locking that
type of thing down. If a user is competent enough to mess with your MSI
to engineer a per-user installation rather than a per-machine one leave
them to their own devices. I'd be surprised to find any sys-admin who'd
do per-user installs rather than per-machine & your average user isn't
going to know the difference anyway.

Subject: [WiX-users] Ensuring an MSI can only be installed per-machine

I have set the Package/@InstallScope attribute in my WiX source file to
"perMachine". As I understand things, this sets the ALLUSERS property to
1. This effectively causes my MSI to default to a per-machine
installation, but does not entirely prevent per-user installs since
ALLUSERS can be overridden on the command line.

-- If I only ever want my installer to be used per-machine, is it
recommended that I do something to try and prevent users overriding
ALLUSERS?

I was investigating exactly what I might do and tried to prevent
per-user installations with a launch condition on "ALLUSERS=1". I
tried:

ALLUSERS=1

Unfortunately, this had very little effect. Whilst it prevented
installation with ALLUSERS="", if ALLUSERS was set to any value, e.g.
ALLUSERS=2, the installation was allowed to continue. Also, it seemed
that repair and uninstall were allowed to go ahead no matter what the
value of ALLUSERS.

-- Why did this condition not work as planned?

[WiX-users] Checking the space in the install path(Please help me)

[S.P]

Dear All,
 
I have a problem with publish element, which couldn’t find its solution. One of 
the files which is going to be installed on the target machine can not work if 
there is a space in the path, so I need to check the install path to ensure 
there is no space in it. I need to show a custom warning dialog to the user if 
he use an install path with space, and return to the last dialog to select the 
installation path again.How should I write this publish element to check the 
space in path? I need to have the code of the costum action which checks the 
space in the path.
 
Thanks everyone in advance

[WiX-users] disk cost dialog

[Lisa Gracias]

My msi's disk cost dialog always says that space is required in E: drive,
even though my Windows drive is C: and the destination folder is set to
C:\Program Files.
Any idea why this might be?

I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise, if that helps.

Here's a screenshot: http://i45.tinypic.com/2je205j.jpg

I'm using the standard volume list control:

[WiX-users] How many check box can I have on the ExitDialog?

[Andy.Kruger]

 Can't I add more that one check boxes to the ExitDialog?
For example I want to add an optional product registration check box and
launch application check box.

Re: [WiX-users] launch on exit

[Andy.Kruger]

I have tried to implement the same as follows. But it gives me an error
stating as follows:

Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL
required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support
personnel or package vendor. Action LaunchUpdate, entry: WixShellExec

here is the code snippet. What am i missing here?
