Re: [WiX-users] Dealing with packages bigger than 2Gb
Also, don't forget that FAT32 is unable to handle files larger than 2Gb. So if you store the install on a USB flash device (which are formatted in FAT32 by default), you might encounter problems. Having so much installation will lead to problems, because the installation will rollback when there is an error. In my case, I already get problems with small packages (500Kb)...

[WiX-users] COM registration with heat or ComPlusExtension?
We have a mix of native and .NET components, and use COM for interop. Until now, I have used heat.exe to generate wix fragments for installing .NET assemblies and registering them as COM servers (like regasm.exe would do). However, somebody just told me that you can also use the ComPlusExtension to do COM registration. The documentation I can find regarding this ComPlus stuff is quite cryptic. Is this ComPlusExtension a valid alternative to the heat.exe approach for registering .NET assemblies as COM components? Are there any differences or gotchas I should be aware of? (cross-posted to stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3875005/wix-com-registration-with-heat-or-complusextension/3876201 ) regards, Wim Coenen -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

[WiX-users] Installer appears very slow
Hi , I wrote a very small installer - copies about 20 files, starts service, adds entry to firewall exception list. I originally used WixUI_Minimal then had to switch to WixUI_InstallDir with one dialog skipped. Even when I used WixUIMininal the installer seems to be very slow - it takes up to 10 sec on a good machine after you click install (or next ) button until it actually reports copying files/starting service, etc. It's even worse on slow machines. Is there any way to troubleshoot it? What could installer be doing during this time? Thanks in advance, Elena -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

Re: [WiX-users] Simple Upgrade/Reinstall Question
Try to use this code: MajorUpgrade AllowDowngrades=yes /, but also you need to suppress ICE61 for safely allowing downgrade. -Original Message- From: John Bergman [mailto:john.berg...@xpedienttechnologies.com] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 11:16 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Simple Upgrade/Reinstall Question I have been reading and searching through the mailing list, and I cannot seem to get my arms around the upgrade markup. Is there a simply way to indicate that anytime an install with the same product id is detected that it should be uninstalled, regardless of the version, and the install being executed ends up being installed as if it were a fresh install? Thanks, John -- Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1, ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 L3.

[WiX-users] FeatureTree: how to disable the feature selection ability if certain condition isn't met
We have a feature which is an Outlook plugin. Two questions - 1. We allow the end user to install the feature only if the user has Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010. So I added some code to detect if Outlook is installed in target machine. Then when I installed it in a machine who doesn't have Outlook, I saw there is a 'X' mark on the feature itself. The feature is disabled. This is good. But the user can still change it to be Will be installed on local hard drive.. Is there a way to disable the feature selection? Such as, grey out the feature selection on GUI in this case? Here is my code: Feature Id='Feature_OutlookPlugin' AllowAdvertise='no' Description='!(loc.CustomMsgDesc)' Title='!(loc.CustomMsgTitle)' Level='2' Condition Level='1' FOUND_OUTLOOK2007 OR FOUND_OUTLOOK2010 /Condition blah.. blah... 2. We need to register a dll if the end user chooses to install the feature. If the user doesn't install the feature, then we shouldn't try to register the dll. I found a solution which seems working. But I'm not sure if it's the proper way to do it. Here is the code: Custom Action=DoDllRegistration Before=InstallFinalize (Not Installed) AND (amp;Feature_OutlookPlugin = 3)/Custom Is this correct? Thanks everyone. -- Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1, ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 L3.
