Re: [WiX-users] ComPlusExtension v3

[Blair]

The English version of this .wxl file is in the sources at
src\ext\ComPlusExtension\wixlib\en-us.wxl

Copy it (probably rename it), change the value in the Cultures attribute to
the culture you need, and translate the content of each of the Strings
elements.

Then add the translated WXL file to your WIX project.

You can repeat this for as many cultures as you need.

Please consider contributing the translations back to the community.

It seems more logging might be needed. This is what I see in the logs:

The key has changed for vs 2010 (in fact it changed for 2008 but the old one 
worked). Try searching for AssemblyFoldersEx you should find the details. When 
I did it I found the new key didn't work for .net 2.0 projects in vs2010 and I

Re: [WiX-users] Howto remove files before Installer terminates

[Fabio Di Lorenzo]

Hi Peter,

Let me understand this correctly: You want to remove the "DirectXRedist"
Component & Folder after the installation is finished?

Because its part of your installation i do not recommend to delete this
folder afterwards.
it's possible to do this with a  custom action, but after each repair of
your product it will be restored (& redeleted) ;)

i would rather choose another technical solution if you dont want to leave
any directx redist files.

Regards,
Fabio

How did you make it work? Just use the SourceDir in the ExeCommand?

where is your exe file? Is it under the directory where the msi is?

You probably want the standard MSI property SourceDir, that or the

have to parse a little.

Both of you are right, and I am able to run the following code snip.

ConfiguratorEXE is located. It's not the location where msi file is

You can use the system variable $(sys.CURRENTDIR) that should get the

Re: [WiX-users] How to change to a directory and run customaction inside that directory?

I am having maybe a similar question here. I want to run a batch file which
is at the directory where the msi is.
if i use the FileKey in the customaction, how do i specify the directory in
the File element for that batch file?

(I do not install this batch file)

Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] How to change to a directory and run customaction inside that directory?

[Fabio Di Lorenzo]

for that solution i'd recommend to use this tool to do a registry
comparison.

Re: [WiX-users] How to change to a directory and run customaction inside that directory?

[Christopher Painter]

I believe that the WiX Quiet CA pattern changes the working directory to be 
that 
of the target EXE.  I'd have to mock it up to test that though.    But if it 
was 
me, I'd do some reverse engineering of what adxreg.exe is doing through 
some profiling and once I understood the actual setup requirements I'd write my 
own solution that was data driven and supported rollback.   You could very well 
find out that it's doing nothing more then writing some registry values.

Thanks Christopher. I appreciate it.


I looked at that manual. I actually implemented "type 18 customaction" in the 
first place. But it didn't work for us. Here is my original code:
 
 
 

 

 
Not 
Installed 
  

The problem isn't about Wix. The problem is that 3rd party program. It doesn't 
support "path in the executable name". So things like "C:\Program 
Files\adxreg.exe /install" doesn't work. You have to actually in that folder 
and 

run "adxreg.exe /install". This is really odd to me.


And you're correct that thing is a home-made SelfReg. The program is from 
"Addin 

Express".


So I wonder if there is a better way to actually "change dir" to the folder, 
and 

then run "adxreg.exe /install" from there. If you know there is a way, let me 
know please.

VBScript is unacceptable for installs that I write.  Have you looked at 
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/qtexec.htm to see if it meets your 
needs?  BTW, the commandline being called in this example suggests to me 
additional problems with this installers design.  adxreg.exe 
/install=myapp.dll  


sounds a lot like a home grown  SelfReg pattern which brings all sorts of other 
problems.

Yes, I also found it in

But some people said using vbscript in customaction isn't a good idea. so what

Yes, I know that. But executable name doesn't include any word from this

But I can't pin it from shortcut (as from Acrobat Reader or Outlook

Re: [WiX-users] Compiler error with PermissionEx (non-util version)

[Fabio Di Lorenzo]

Hi Ryan,

It seems not be a compile error. in facts its a validation error after the
compile.

In my opinion everything is fine and you can use the produced msi.

WiX seems to use "FormattedSddl" as category for this column in the
validation table.

But thats wrong, the correct one should be "FormattedSDDLText".
