Re: [WiX-users] My setup delete a parent registry key which is not created by it

[WiX-users] Bootstrapping and Burn
Hi, I realise Burn has been removed from WiX 3.5, but I'm wondering if the Visual Studio bootstrapper would be a good substitute or if I should wait for a 3.6 snapshot. My main requirement is a single file that users can download to do the installation, since I hate having a setup.exe and MSI file because it's confusing and seems unnecessary. The only component of Burn I've ever used before is setupbld, but I'm wondering - will the output of Burn be a single exe, or will it be like VS where you have to package lots of MSIs and an exe into a zip file for distribution? -- Bruce Cran -- Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping and Burn
Sorry, you said My main requirement is a single file that users can download to do the installation. I had no way of knowing you were wanting to do .NET redist and minor upgrades. The bootstrapper support in InstallShield is one of the things that anchors me to that toolset. I use WiX for all of my component authoring and then glue it together with IS.

A bootstrapper / chainer does so much more then wrap up your MSI into an EXE. In fact, if you aren't using any of these other capabilities the question then becomes 'why do you need a setup.exe anyways? just deploy the msi'. I have been deploying just the MSI but I'm now working on a .NET assembly so will need to bundle the .NET Framework 4.0 too. I don't like self-extracting ZIP files because I think having a proper bootstrapper is a nicer solution since the user sees a single user interface; it also allows you to do minor upgrades by containing the logic to pass the correct flags to msiexec. -- Bruce Cran -- Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.

Re: [WiX-users] How to make the custom action run under LocalSystem account?
If it's a per-user install it won't run as local system. The other issue is that I don't think your plan will work. The system account doesn't usually have any network privileges, so it can't access anything like that remote share.

The KB says If it is necessary to run your custom action when using the local system security context, set the attributes of the custom action in the CustomAction table to either 3072 (msidbCustomAction TypeInScript + msidbCustomAction TypeNoImpersonate) I've already done this, but seems it's still using the admin user's account, not the LocalSystem account. What does using the local system security context mean? It is not equal to using LocalSystem account?

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping and Burn
I've looked at dotNetInstaller and while it looks very interesting, there is no way you are going to learn that tool and get a working bootstrapper in 15 minutes.

My main requirement is a single file that users can download to do the installation, since I hate having a setup.exe and MSI file because it's confusing and seems unnecessary. The only component of Burn I've ever used before is setupbld, but I'm wondering - will the output of Burn be a single exe, or will it be like VS where you have to package lots of MSIs and an exe into a zip file for distribution? -- Bruce Cran -- Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.

[WiX-users] CustomAction stored in Property
Hi All,
I want to compile the following fragment
Dialog Id=CustomerInfoForm X=50 Y=50 Width=373 Height=287
Title=[ProductName]
... Control Id=NextButton Type=PushButton X=220 Y=260 Width=65
Height=18 Text={\SansSerif13.000}TEXT_WIZARD_BUTTON_NEXT TabSkip=no
Default=yes
...
Publish Event=DoAction Value=[CustomSerialValidateProp]1/Publish
But light fails with error:
template.wxs(853) : error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to
symbol 'CustomAction:[CustomSerialValidateProp]' in section 'Product:{3E8964C7-
5FA5-4740-A3D6-191E2043963C}'.
Of course, there is no custom action [CustomSerialValidateProp]. But property
CustomSerialValidateProp contains actual custom action.
We are moving from our own MSI tool to WiX, so it's not easy to change property
to actual custom action. Is there a workaround? Maybe it's possible to ignore
link errors?
best regards,
Alexander Nevskiy

[WiX-users] ConfigureIIS CA not getting called during cancellation
Hello, I offer two features one of which is a web site component. In order to avoid triggering of the ConfigureIIS CA when the non-web component is being installed, I added the following to the Install execute action: Custom Action=ConfigureIIs After=InstallFiles![CDATA[(WEBFEATURE=3 And !WEBFEATURE=2) Or (!WEBFEATURE=3 And WEBFEATURE=2)]]/Custom It seems to work well during installation and uninstallation of both the different components. However, I am running into one issue where if the user is installing the web component for the first time and is cancelling the installation at the last moment (after the web site has been created - ConfigureIIS CA has already triggered). In this specific scenario, I can see that the web site and the web pool are not being deleted although the installer has rolled back. I am at a loss as to what to do now. Please advise.
