[WiX-users] How to set the file properties for the MSI generated by WiX
Hi All I've noticed that the MSI files created by WiX have some of their file properties (e.g. Authors, Revision number etc.) set to values that must be produced by WiX. However I'm uncertain how to go about setting those values. For instance the Authors value is correctly set to the name of our company but the Revision Number is set to some automatically generated GUID (which is not in the WiX files). I've searched the WiX manual for information on how to set these values but I couldn't find any information. Could somebody point me in the right direction?

Re: [WiX-users] Run the CA only on the first install (no upgrades)
UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is set when you're being uninstalled during an upgrade, so it sounds like the wrong condition. For example to force a CA to run on a full uninstall only, but not when it's being uninstalled because an upgrade is happening I use REMOVE ~= "ALL" AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE] I think you probably want to use some variation on the following (depending on what your upgrade table looks like) to run something on the first install only.

Subject: How To Pass Status Variables from a Custom Action to Wix Custom Dialog
Hi Everyone,
I've a specific requirement of checking whether a particular port is occupied
by a web application through Wix 3.0. I've written a custom action dll in C#
for this purpose and it returns ActionResult.Success and ActionResult.Failure
depending on Port Occupied or Not.
When ActionResult.Failure is returned, (that means "Port Is Already Occupied by
a web application"), then things are messed up and installer gets broken every
time.
Here is the log for the same :
Action ended 9:49:18: PortAvailabilityCheck. Return value 3.
DEBUG: Error 2896: Executing action PortAvailabilityCheck failed.
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This
may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2896. The arguments
are: PortAvailabilityCheck, ,
I just wanted to know a possible way to return the status of a Port (maybe a
flag="0" or "1") from a custom action to Wix Dialog.
My first thought on this is there might be some Gotcha when Wix tries to
communicate with C# custom action dll. I don't have any idea about what a C++
custom action dll will do in this particular case. (Writing a C++ dll for this
task will be more cumbersome).
Is it possible to achieve the same using other ActionResult Enumeration
Parameters ? OR any other way for the C# dll to communicate the Port Status to
custom dialog (which will be useful to pop up the warning Dialog for Port
Already occupied) ?
public enum ActionResult
{
// Summary:
// Action completed successfully.
Success = 0,
//
// Summary:
// Skip remaining actions, not an error.
SkipRemainingActions = 259,
//
// Summary:
// User terminated prematurely.
UserExit = 1602,
//
// Summary:
// Unrecoverable error or unhandled exception occurred.
Failure = 1603,
//
// Summary:
// Action not executed.
NotExecuted = 1626,
}
Code snippet :
1
1
WebAppExists=5
I'm getting different values for these enumeration parameters when returned to
custom dialog. For Example, For Success its "1", for SkipRemainingActions its
"5",etc. So, my problem is to compare these return values appropriately to
proceed further.
This is weird, but this comparison always fails to get the expected behavior.
Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong here ?
Any help on this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishwajit

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut is not using specified icon
Hi Markus, The Source (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369210) is saying: "Icon files that are associated strictly with file name extensions or CLSIDs can have any extension, such as .ico. However, Icon files that are associated with shortcuts must be in the EXE binary format and must be named such that their extension matches the extension of the target. The shortcut will not work if this rule is not followed. For example, if a shortcut is to point to a resource having the key file Red.bar, then the icon file must also have the extension .bar. Multiple icons can be stuffed into the same icon file as long as all of the target files have the same extension.

Re: [WiX-users] skip almost dialogs on upgrade
Look at the InstallUISequence of your built MSI (sort by sequence). You'll see only MaintenanceWelcomeDlg, ResumeDlg & WelcomeDlg sequenced before ProgressDlg so conditioning the WelcomeDlg appropriately will also skip all the dialogs it calls if it is skipped since the user never clicks on the next button to call a NewDialog event. You can go directly to the ProgressDlg by just conditioning the WelcomeDlg as I suggested & not bothering creating a new dialog but personally I wouldn't do that as it's not very user friendly (user double clicks MSI, it starts upgrading without warning, how do you know that's what the user actually wanted to do?) but it's your product & your call. If you condition the dialogs correctly in the InstallUISequence, the user will see the correct one. The VerifyReadyDlg doesn't show in the InstallUISequence, it's spawned by other dialogs. Look at the WiXUI .wxs files in the sources (they're under src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib) & see how they do things, you're simply trying to modify what they do. All the code is there you just need to look at it & implement it in your own way.

[WiX-users] Searching for existing files but only once
We need to upgrade a preinstalled software. That software is very old and knows nothing of MSI, Registry etc. We actually have to search all local drives for the old EXE file and remove the surrounding folder. As this is a time consuming task, this shall only happen if this is really an update of that old version but not if this is an update / upgrade / patch of a previous "new" MSI setup. I hope it is clear what I like to tell. We have no clue how to do that... Can anybody paste a short code snippet describing an idea how this could be done? Thanks!

[WiX-users] Wix 3.0 with VS2010
Hi, Does anyone know if there any issues or even if its possible to run Wix 3.0 integrated with VS2010? We have a bunch of VS2008 projects with installers written in wix 3.0. I now have to write an installer for a VS2010 project. I'd rather just use one (stable) version than try and use v3 and 3.5 side by side or upgrade and risk doing over our existing installer projects with breaking changes in 3.5. I guess I just need the integration bits - can I just drop the votive2010.dll file into the 3.0 bin directory and then manually install the vs templates ? Cheers, John.

Re: [WiX-users] Problems launching application after install asnon-elevated
Your "temporary workaround" sounds like the proper solution. Allow Windows Installer to request elevation if/when required rather than forcing it everywhere from the start. If you're using a stock WiX UI your user will be prompted with a UAC shield on the VerifyReadyDlg before the elevation request so it shouldn't be a complete surprise. If you elevate the Iexpress SFX package, any child processes it spawns will also be elevated. Hence your Setup.exe will be elevated which in turn elevates msiexec when it runs your MSI which will then elevate your application because of the waterfall of elevated processes you have created. If you're worried about the .NET 2.0 Framework needing elevation, don't. You didn't write it & it's not required on Vista or later anyway.

Re: [WiX-users] skip almost dialogs on upgrade
Easy way to do it would be to condition the WelcomeDlg in the InstallUISequence with "NOT Installed AND NOT PREVFOUND". Then you could make a new dialog (make the buttons a copy of the VerifyReadyDlg ones so you get UAC shields where appropriate) & condition it with "Installed AND PREVFOUND" so it will show instead. Make sure you set it to Before="ProgressDlg". This would make the user only see your new dialog & when they click the Install button & it goes straight to the Progress Dialog & starts upgrading.

Re: [WiX-users] Forcing conditional feature install
Properties should be set after msiexec parameters. Move the "/lv*! install.log" to before you declare your properties. If that doesn't work try without the # in your properties or try changing the Feature Level to something arbitrarily high like which will be above your standard INSTALLLEVEL.

The condition is a property which I've tried setting on the command line, but the feature still isn't installed. It appears that the condition is being ignored. Is there a way with an admin install to force all features to be installed? Any help would be much appreciated. Here is the command I am running: msiexec.exe /qn /a "myinstall.msi" TARGETDIR="C:\temp\msitest" MY_PROPERTY="#1" ADDLOCAL=ALL /lv*! install.log Here is a line from my log file showing that request and action are null for this feature: MSI (s) (04:64) [15:00:39:123]: Feature: FT.MyFeature; Installed: Absent; Request: Null; Action: Null Below is the authoring for my feature: Thanks!
