[WiX-users] Registering Classic ASP (ISAPI) in IIS 7 with WiX 3.5

[Christoph Vollmer]

Hi,

 

I need to ask again. We need to register Classic ASP in IIS 7 if it is
not registered as ISAP extension. With 3.0 this worked fine, but with
3.5 it will fail the install if there is already something installed.
Via UI I can register the asp.dll as often as I want, no problem. Last
time somebody mentioned, that IIS 6 is not needed, but somebody else
said there is no other way than the standard IIS extension in WiX. So,
before I start with Custom Actions, can somebody help me? Why is the
following line 

 

Not working with WiX 3.5 on IIS 7 if there is already something
registered with this asp.dll? WiX 3.0 did just override that
registration. Is there an easy way (without Custom Action) to check if
this DLL is already registered and then branch (with Condition) to not
try to register it?

Thanks,

  Christoph

I have but I don't see how that helps, on upgrade I don't think it
restores your install location - unless I am mistaken.

[WiX-users] Hybrid installer

[Suiden]

Hello,

I am trying to use Wix to make a installer for the following scenario: my
application has 3 critical components: foo, bar and baz. Foo is created on
demand when a user clicks the download link. Bar and baz remain unchanged
and they both depend on foo. They are also quite large and I want the
installer to be as small as possible when users download it. I was thinking
the installer needs to contain only foo and download bar and baz from my web
site during install (like a web installer does), while showing download
progress. Question is: what is the best way do this with Wix?

I have thought of several ways, each with their issues:
1. run a custom action after InstallInitialize which downloads the missing
components to some temp location and copies them to install location.
Issues:
- the missing files are not included in the database so they will not be
removed on uninstall. One way to fix this is to include 0-bytes bar and baz
which get installed by msi and then overwrite them with the downloaded ones.
However what will be downloaded will be a zip and the custom action needs to
also unpack it. I feel this is something the msi was supposed to do...
- cost will not be accurate. I don't suppose I could just update the
file table?

2. create a minor upgrade msp which contains just bar and baz, which will be
downloaded instead. Issues:
- adding missing components is not exactly a minor upgrade
- can't use the msp during deferred installation. My best shot would
probably be to run msiexec with /patch arg which means this is not the job
of the installer anymore, it's the bootstrapper's. I don't know if can use
setupbld.exe to specify how to run the msi.

Any help on this will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

what will be way to do this using WIX ?
I ruled out the registry storing/retrieving method, because there is a 
considerable amount of xml needs to be written for it. I would not mind 
it if there is some straightaway method of getting older install 
location using WIX.

Re: [WiX-users] install location not preserved while upgradation

[Michael Osmond]

Hate to say this, but write it to a registry key and read it back is the only 
way I am aware of to do this.

Its not very much XML:  You need a component with a registry entry, a property 
with a registry search.

Re: [WiX-users] install location not preserved while upgradation

[Wilson, Phil]

Setting ARPINSTALLLOCATION allows retrieval of the location using 
MsiGetProductInfo(...INSTALLPROPERTY_INSTALLLOCATION...) so I guess the "other 
than storing registry keys" requirement would be met, but storing/retrieving 
the install location from the registry is trivial anyway with built-in MSI 
functionality. Sanjay doesn't say why the registry method is ruled out. 

Alternatively, if you know of a component that is in that primary install 
folder, then do a component search for it via AppSearch to set the path.

Hi,

Every time when I upgrade my software, install location dialog shows the

storing/searching registry keys. Pointer to a article is also welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall failure?

[Kevin Burton]

Assuming that I can translate this to C#, what would be the WiX code that needs 
to be in place to call this function? I am fairly new to 3.x and I remember 
that with 2.0 there needed to be a fair amount of plumbing in place to call a 
C# (managed) custom action.

No impersonations myself. This started occurring when there was a problem with

If you have suggestions on how I might implement the custom action to validate

Are you explicitly doing any impersonation of the logon user in custom actions 
yourself?

If you are obtaining logon credentials from the user (via dialog or command
line) I would implement a custom action to validate those credentials before 
you make any system changes and prevent the install from proceeding until you 
have valid credentials.  I would also recommend checking that the account has 
the ServiceLogonRight policy set so to ensure it can be used to run services.

Its my merge module.

It looks like the names generated are:

Binaries
Symbols
Etc

To me, this seems like a bug in the way Wix is generating the MSI database, if 
the generated names are too long, WiX (IMHO) should change them to fit, and/or 
issue a fatal error if there really are collisions.

Open the corresponding merge module with orca and search for the string. This 
should lead to the trouble causing string. But I think ignoring this warning is 
the best way than manipulating a 3rd party merge module.

[WiX-users] install location not preserved while upgradation

[Sanjay Rao]

Hi,

Every time when I upgrade my software, install location dialog shows the 
default install location, It does not picks the previously installed 
location automatically. Is there any way to do this other than 
storing/searching registry keys. Pointer to a article is also welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sanjay Rao

So is there a chance that this feature could be introduced in the future? Or at 
least add a variable that points to the location of the uncompressed 
package/executable?

I don't want to create a dependency on .net if I don't have to. :/

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall failure?

[Kevin Burton]

No impersonations myself. This started occurring when there was a problem with 
my Custom UI which among other things prompted for a password. The UI was not 
showing up and so the password was not valid. But the install continued. It got 
to  and  and the  task failed 
because of an invalid password but the account (my account) that the service 
was installed under was locked out. My administrator indicated that something 
or someone tried and failed too many times so the account was locked out. I 
hate to try it again because it takes I am guessing the Domain Admin to unlock 
the account again and I hate to continually asked the admin to unlock my 
account. Hence the question.

If you have suggestions on how I might implement the custom action to validate 
the credentials I would be very appreciative. That may solve my problem. I have 
a WiX 2.0 script that works right now so I am reasonably sure that my account 
has the proper rights. I have subsequently successfully installed and started 
the service using that installation script.

Are you explicitly doing any impersonation of the logon user in custom actions 
yourself?

If you are obtaining logon credentials from the user (via dialog or command
line) I would implement a custom action to validate those credentials before 
you make any system changes and prevent the install from proceeding until you 
have valid credentials.  I would also recommend checking that the account has 
the ServiceLogonRight policy set so to ensure it can be used to run services.

Re: [WiX-users] CNDL 1026 Warning - How the heck to you correct it?

[Tobias S]

Open the corresponding merge module with orca and search for the
string. This should lead to the trouble causing string. But I think
ignoring this warning is the best way than manipulating a 3rd party
merge module.

Tobias

[WiX-users] WixUI_Mode property in dialog sets WiXUI_*.wxs

[Tobias S]

Hi all,

Just did some dialog modifying. When combining WiXUI_FeatureTree.wxs +
WiXUI_InstallDir.wxs I mentioned the property WixUI_Mode which is set
accordingly to the name of the dialog theme. Has this property
 
some special function except for UIDecompiler ?

When doing a search for WixUI_Mode over the WiX sources despite the
dialog themes I only got a hit at UIDecompiler.cs which I assume is
needed for dark. Is there somewhere else need for this property ? If
not I will just leave the value at WiXUI_FeatureTree.

Thanks and best regards
Tobias

Look at the setup.exe/setupbld.exe in the WiX toolset. That does more
what you describe.

[WiX-users] CNDL 1026 Warning - How the heck to you correct it?

[John Bergman]

I have a couple of merge modules that consistently generate these warnings, and 
I have not been able to determine how the string is generated that it is 
complaining about.

Is this documented anywhere, or can anyone provide some tips as far as how to 
correct this?

Here is an example of the message

C:\XPertSeries\Source\XPJ-R7S7\XPertSeries\Platform\Install.MM.Platform.ManagementServer.ServerPlugins\obj\Debug\_Application.ManagementServer.Plugins.Authentication.Global.Server.wxs(4):
 warning CNDL1026: The DirectoryRef/@Id attribute's value, 
'Application.ManagementServer.Plugins.Authentication.Global.Server.Binaries', 
is too long for an identifier.  Standard identifiers are 72 character
s long or less.


Relevant section of the merge module's WiX File


http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
  xmlns:iis="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension";
  xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";>

  
  
  






  
  



The WiX Project (VS2008/2010) has this as a reference:

Application.ManagementServer.Plugins.Authentication.Global.Server

Where the name of the assembly is
Application.ManagementServer.Plugins.Authentication.Global.Server.dll
