[WiX-users] How To Skip Custom Dilalog On Repair ?

[Vishwajit Walke]

Hi,

I've custom dialog in my wix3.0 project. My requirement is to skip the

It should be visible only at Fresh Installation.

 [Condition to check Fresh Installation only and not 
Repair] 

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks.  Vishwajit.

Re: [WiX-users] Createing a ProgId that references VS2010

[Jim Deville]

That worked. Any recommendations on a KeyPath for this component though? I 
would expect to be able to set the ProgId or something in there to the KeyPath, 
but that isn't valid. I'm planning on adding a dummy registry key if nothing 
else works.

Yes, sorry, should have mentioned that in the beginning. You want 
Verb/@TargetProperty (and then you don't need the square brackets yourself).

Re: [WiX-users] Property/@Secure - when to use?

[Nick Ramirez]

Okay. It took quite a while to get some results, but I've finally managed to
get the properties to not pass from the UI sequence to the Execute sequence.
The key factor seems to be whether or not you're prompted to elevate your
privileges during the install.

On Vista, you're almost always prompted for an administrator's credentials
if you're not an admin and if you're already an admin, you've already got
the access. Once the privileges are elevated, I haven't seen any problems
with properties passing from UI to Execute. This is without the Secure
attribute.

However, if you're not prompted, then a property called
"RestrictedUserControl" is set to "1", which tells the installer to only
pass properties listed in the SecureCustomProperties list to the Execute
sequence. 

To not be prompted, you can set the AlwaysInstallElevated value in the
Registry to "1" or do an advertised installation from a file share. I did
the former and haven't tested the latter, but it seems that that's how it
would work. Anything to prevent Vista from explicitly elevating your
privileges.

So, without setting a property as secure, I now see this happening (after
setting AlwaysInstallElevated to "1"):

MSI (s) (C8:BC) [23:49:58:906]: Machine policy value 'EnableUserControl' is
0
MSI (s) (C8:BC) [23:49:58:906]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding
RestrictedUserControl property. Its value is '1'.
MSI (s) (C8:BC) [23:49:58:906]: Ignoring disallowed property MYPROPERTY

Awesome. I've created a scenario where the Secure attribute is needed just
like I wanted. Matt, is your situation different? Yours happened on
uninstall. Is any of this similar? Do you try to prevent the user from being
prompted to elevate their privileges?

Re: [WiX-users] Update progress bar from deferred custom action

The WiX toolset uses WcaProgressMessage() to do this. There are a number of
examples in the WiX custom action code using it.

[WiX-users] Update progress bar from deferred custom action

[Dariel Marlow]

I've followed the example on MSDN 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367525(VS.85).aspx) about adding 
custom actions to the progress bar, however, only the action text updates. The 
progress bar does not move. Does anyone have an example of how to update the 
progress bar from within a custom action?

Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Avoid install on removable drives

Ok this one's cool.

But I want to use an immediate CA in the UI sequence which can prevent the

I suppose this VC++ CA needs to be elevated and we should pass the appDrive
