Re: [WiX-users] Wix UI navigation Help
Sagar
Let's go back to your original message:
{If the user presses WarningDialog 'Do not proceed' button in
WarningDialog, i should close WarningDialog and return to Dlg1.
Everything works fine till this point.
What i want is If the user presses 'Proceed Anyways' dialogbox in
WarningDialog, i should close WarningDialog and navigate to Dlg2.}
As I can see that now on clicking Proceed Anyways you are setting a
property PROCEED=1. What you need now is only to check this property on
Dlg1's Next button's NewDialog event.
Publish Dialog=Dlg1 Control=Next Event=NewDialog
Value=CustomizeDlg Order=5![CDATA[PROCEED =1]]/Publish
This should work.
Regards
Rohit

Re: [WiX-users] Getting error of 2262 2: AdminProperties 3:-2147287038
Looks like this is not a windows installer error. Maybe it's not able to find a file its looking for. Run your installer from a command prompt like: C:\msiexec /I complete path toyourinstaller.msi /l*vx c:\install.log This should produce complete installation log where in you can search for exact problem before you get the error.

[WiX-users] Uninstall UI for database settings
Hi All, I have an installer which installs scripts in the database and on install it provides screens for the user to input the correct settings. But on uninstall there seems to be no way to have a UI to prompt for the settings. The only options available seem to be to store the settings in the registry or to have the user enter the settings on the commandline. Does anyone know if there will be any development for uninstall UI's?

[WiX-users] don't delete/overwrite a file during major upgrade
Hi, I read the WiX Tutorial from http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ and there are some things I didn't understand or couldn't find and as I read that this is the best place for questions, I'll write them here, but for an easier followup I will write each question into a separat email. I appreciate your answers/help. When I install my application, along with the binaries, in the same directory a conf file is placed that the user can change as he needs. I would like for this conf file to not be deleted (or overwritten) when we do a major upgrade, but only when we remove the application completely from the computer, b/c otherwise the user needs to do the right settings in the conf file every time after an upgrade. In other words, for this conf file, I would like to have the following behaviour: when the product is upgraded (major upgrade which means first uninstall old version meaning deleting all installed files and then install a new version) the conf file should NOT be deleted or overwritten. But if the user uninstalls our product, for instance from add/remove program, then b/c I want to clean everything I would like that conf file to be deleted. How could I have this behaviour?

[WiX-users] stop the service before uninstall
Hi, My installer besides my application installs also a service which is the babysitter for my application, eg takes care to restart my application if it crashes. When I want to uninstall everything I get the error message: The setup must update files or services that cannot be updated while the system is running. If you choose to continue, a reboot will be required to complete the setup.. If I manually stop the service before running the uninstaller I don't get this msg. But I actually told the uninstaller to stop the service on uninstall: [code] ServiceControl Id='MyServiceControl' Name='MyServiceForTest' Start='install' Stop='uninstall' Remove='uninstall'/ [/code] 1) How can I get rid of this problem? I don't want to get the mesasage with reboot the system as the uninstaller should be itself able to stop de service and then to do the uninstall. 2) And related to services: what happens if I have: [code] ServiceControl Id='MyServiceControl' Name='MyServiceForTest' Start='install' Stop='install' Remove='uninstall'/ [/code] the translation would be: start on install, stop on install. Which one is it then? TIA, Viv _ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

[WiX-users] FileSearch on INSTALLLOCATION, whereas INSTALLLOCATION is either registry entry or nested Directory tag
Hi, In the WiX tutorial is a sample that does: - reads the path to the installation directory from the registry - checks if in that directory a specific file exists - if yes, installs the a specific feature (docu) What I would have wanted would have been: - reads the path to the installation directory from the registry - checks if in that directory a specific file exists OR checks if in the default path (created by the nested Directory tags) the file exists - if yes, installs the docu feature I thought that by doing the FILEEXIST File search by using the INSTALLDIR would mean that the File search is done in the INSTALLDIR which is either the registry value if that one exists in the registry, OR the default directory paths specified by nested Directory tags if the registry value was not found. But it seems that when the FILEEXIST condition is evaluated the INSTALLDIR is set to whatever was found in the registry, which means if the registry entry was not found, at this point the INSTALLDIR will be empty and it won't be, as I expected, the nested Directory tags we specified.

[WiX-users] Problem using Wix3 in TFS Build.
I'm getting trouble with light using Wix3 with TFS Build. The basic problem is that TFS build redirects $(OutputPath) to its own location.

Re: [WiX-users] manual cleanup if msi uninstaller corrupted
The uninstaller fails your Launch Condition because when you remove it using Add/Remove programs it runs in basic UI which I'm guessing means the UILevel != 5. It should probably work if uninstalled using the MSI itself by running msiexec /x your.msi but you may need to append /qf to that command to force full UI. What you should've done was add OR Installed to your Launch Condition, that way it will always be able to be uninstalled. To manually fix it you either need to patch it with the above logic or reinstall it with a fixed version by setting v in the REINSTALL property (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371182.aspx). If it's out in the wild patching it is likely the easier solution.

Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall UI for database settings
UI works fine for uninstall. Your problem is that when uninstalling from Add/Remove programs it automatically runs in basic UI. You need to find some way of changing this behaviour. MSDN is probably a good place to start. Also don't cross post to the wix-dev list. Like the majority of questions on here these days this isn't even a WiX specific question, it's an issue you have with Windows Installer.

[WiX-users] Question on heat output
I 'm using heat to harvest binary output of a VB.NET project. The project output is an executable that runs as a service and a few DLL's. The output that heat generates looks rather sparse for what I would expect. I was expecting to see DLL component/files and maybe even something to install the service. I used the following command line: heat project C:\ace-co-devel\Aceco.NET\TCPDbSvr\TCPDbSvc\TCPDbSvc.vbproj -pog:Binaries -var var.TCPDbSvc -dr TCPDbSvc -ag -template:fragment -out TCPDbSvc.wxs And the TCPDbSvc.wxs output was this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

Re: [WiX-users] Question on heat output
I just got over the heat output hurdle. The heat output, is really only a directory/component/file listing of the directory you gave it. It isn't going to produce any xml that'll install the service. You will have to write that code. I haven't used the heat project as a directive, I used tfs build to build the .net project, then pointed heat to the output contents. It will then build the fragment. I also use the -cg argument to define a component group so I can reference that. -Original Message- From: Bill McCormick (LIST) [mailto:wpmccorm...@ace-co.com] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 10:59 AM To: WiX Subject: [WiX-users] Question on heat output I 'm using heat to harvest binary output of a VB.NET project.

Re: [WiX-users] stop the service before uninstall
On pre-Vista (pre MSI 4.0) the ServiceControl entries aren't considered for files-in-use situations. On Restart Manager systems with MSI 4.0 and above, it does look at the ServiceControl table but there have been some reports that it doesn't work with every entry in the ServiceControl table and may be unreliable. Start on install and stop on install? It does both. There is a StopServices action early in the execute sequence that stops services. Later on (after files have been installed/replaced) there's a StartServices action.

When I want to uninstall everything I get the error message: The setup must update files or services that cannot be updated while the system is running. If you choose to continue, a reboot will be required to complete the setup.. If I manually stop the service before running the uninstaller I don't get this msg. But I actually told the uninstaller to stop the service on uninstall: [code] ServiceControl Id='MyServiceControl' Name='MyServiceForTest' Start='install' Stop='uninstall' Remove='uninstall'/ [/code] 1) How can I get rid of this problem? I don't want to get the mesasage with reboot the system as the uninstaller should be itself able to stop de service and then to do the uninstall. 2) And related to services: what happens if I have: [code] ServiceControl Id='MyServiceControl' Name='MyServiceForTest' Start='install' Stop='install' Remove='uninstall'/ [/code] the translation would be: start on install, stop on install.

Re: [WiX-users] UAC, InstallService, verify user account...
Sorry I didn't follow up (on my own post none-the-less! for shame!) The error code was 0x8013141A. I was completely thrown by this, because everything I read related to signed code...I wasn't signing any of my code, and as far as I could tell, the assembly was a Microsoft (.net) assembly (Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller). It then occurred to me though that I was working in a wix-development environment (built some custom extensions to votive and the pre-processo), having compiled wix from the source code (p.i.t.a.). One of the articles I'd read talked about how the Wix team signs the assemblies with their own private key... Long story short, Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller is NOT part of the .NET framework, and is an assembly created by the Wix team.

Re: [WiX-users] UAC, InstallService, verify user account...
Unfortunately, using a bootstrapper .exe or the like isn't an option for the environment I'll be deploying to. I've decided to just use the LogonUser in the advapi32 dll. Still some teaks to make it work as smooth as I want, but the logon process itself doesn't need to be elevated and all I'm really trying to do (atm) is verify that the user credentials are corrrect. So far, I'm able to do this as an immediate action and no longer have to run it as a deferred action. I may still go that route though. The concrete is still wet.

Re: [WiX-users] manual cleanup if msi uninstaller corrupted
You may want to consider just conditioning the LaunchConditions action itself, so that you don't need to update each individual launch condition you have. LaunchConditions ![CDATA[NOT Installed]] /LaunchConditions You would want to add this to both the InstallUI and InstallExecute sequences. The basic idea is that once your MSI is installed you don't want to prevent any repairs or uninstall from running. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/manual-cleanup-if-msi-uninstaller-corrupted-tp4802847p4805083.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.

My application creates a data folder under a user's AppData/Local (Win7/Vista, XP: Local Settings\Application Data).

But I want the uninstaller to remove it therefore I put it in the installer.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix 2.0: if some dll file(s) deleted, then we'll get Error 2836 in Repair mode
First of all, thank you so much for your reply, Bob. There are a couple of other things, not sure if related: 1. Only 3 files cause the problem. According to the developer, one dll file is a COM component, the manifest is associated with the COM dll, another dll is used by the COM dll. I also noticed the COM dll is registered by using regsvr32.exe in a custom action. Not sure if this is the problem. But I've a feeling that COM registration doesn't work that way even I never register a COM in Wix. 2. Those two DLL files will cause 'Error 2836' directly. But the manifest file will cause the installer showing 'The system can not find the file specified.' first then showing the 'Error 2836'. So this is slightly different from those two DLL files. 3. I did look at the dll files' property, they seem normal. By using Orca, I also looked at the File table, these files entries look the same as others. From #1, my guess is the COM registration could cause the problem, but I'm not sure. Please point out if my guess is correct or not: 1. If my guess is correct, please post some links here about how to register a COM component correctly in 2.0. Meanwhile, I'll dig in this topic as well. 2. If my guess isn't correct, please point me out where I should look into, or which file or flag or something I should check. Thanks a lot.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix 2.0: if some dll file(s) deleted, then we'll get Error 2836 in Repair mode
Tallow.exe in WiX v2.0 should be able to harvest the registry entries required for COM registration (assuming the DLL exports DLLRegisterServer function). Tallow.exe is with the WiX v2.0 equivalent of heat.exe in WiX v3.0. I don't have a WiX v2.0 install lying around but running tallow.exe /? should give you the parameters needed to harvest the COM registration info. Sounds like the problem is the Self Reg of the COM DLL. If one of the 2 DLL's or the manifest file is deleted it may not be able to re-run the Self Reg when you run your repair as it may not have replaced the files at that point. Yet another reason why Self-Reg is a very very very bad idea.

Subject: [WiX-users] How do I create a folder under AppData/Local? My application creates a data folder under a user's AppData/Local (Win7/Vista, XP: Local Settings\Application Data). I have the following in WiX, Directory Id=AppDataFolder Name=AppDataFolder Directory Id=MYDATA_ROOT Name=myAppData Component Id=MYDATA_ROOT Guid=DB80A786-0529-4eb5-9348-0A99EA12F919 RegistryKey Action=none Key=dummy Root=HKCU RegistryValue Type=integer Value=1 KeyPath=yes / /RegistryKey CreateFolder / /Component /Directory /Directory My application would actually create the directory if it does not exist. But I want the uninstaller to remove it therefore I put it in the installer. Checking the log, I found out that the above snippet created myAppData folder under AppData/Roaming instead of AppData/Local. Could someone please tell me how to correct this? Thank you in advance.

Re: [WiX-users] Feature Tree modification based on property.
Under your feature you can set display=hidden on the feature and the user will not be able to modify it. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_feature.htm --Sam On 3/25/2010 11:10 PM, Rohit Sharma (SIDC) wrote: So is there no way I can do this, even if I could HIDE the feature in selection tree that would work for me. But if that is also possible can you suggest me what else I can try? CustomAction in C++ which maybe allows to set Level for a feature. If not probably I would go for the workaround.. i.e. change the UI mode to INSTALLDIR and don't show the customsetup dialog to the user. -Original Message- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:b...@joyofsetup.com] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 6:31 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Feature Tree modification based on property.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix 2.0: if some dll file(s) deleted,then we'll get Error 2836 in Repair mode First of all, thank you so much for your reply, Bob. There are a couple of other things, not sure if related: 1. Only 3 files cause the problem. According to the developer, one dll file is a COM component, the manifest is associated with the COM dll, another dll is used by the COM dll. I also noticed the COM dll is registered by using regsvr32.exe in a custom action. Not sure if this is the problem. But I've a feeling that COM registration doesn't work that way even I never register a COM in Wix. 2. Those two DLL files will cause 'Error 2836' directly. But the manifest file will cause the installer showing 'The system can not find the file specified.' first then showing the 'Error 2836'. So this is slightly different from those two DLL files. 3. I did look at the dll files' property, they seem normal. By using Orca, I also looked at the File table, these files entries look the same as others. From #1, my guess is the COM registration could cause the problem, but I'm not sure. Please point out if my guess is correct or not: 1. If my guess is correct, please post some links here about how to register a COM component correctly in 2.0. Meanwhile, I'll dig in this topic as well. 2. If my guess isn't correct, please point me out where I should look into, or which file or flag or something I should check. Thanks a lot.

Then I tried tallow.exe -s my.dll, but I got System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException.

[WiX-users] Several Questions - Zip64, Debugging
1. Does WIX support MSI files larger than 4GB? If so, what's the best practice on very large MSI files? I'm aware of the CAB file limitations, but I've also run into WIX complaining about large files even if they aren't being placed into a CAB file. I read briefly in the DTF chm that there is ZIP64 support for large files. Is that something that is used from within the WXS file? 2. Debugging managed custom actions does not load symbols. After reading the different ways on getting debugging to work (http://blog.torresdal.net/CommentView,guid,bfebe347-ad82-4c76-a96e-1c22aa39efc9.aspx) I've not been able to successfully step through in VS with my code and symbols. Is there documentation on how to get this working successfully? Dariel -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
