Re: [WiX-users] Multilanguage install

[Francisco Gabriel Malbrán]

Hello Wix users. This is my first time around. I've been playing for a while
now and after lots
of "do not write to the list stupid questions before you think they are not
stupid anymore" I think
I really need your help.
All related to localization of course. I separate the original question in
two:

A) How can I make the multilanguague work?? (I'm trying hard, I swear)

Can you please explain in more detail how did you manage to make this work?

I am using WiX 3.5 in Windows 7 and I just can't find a way to make my msi
file autodetect
the language of the OS. It always starts in the default language, english.

I've tried a lot of things, for example:
- http://www.codeproject.com/KB/install/WixWindowsInstallerDemo3.aspx
-
http://www.geektieguy.com/2010/03/13/create-a-multi-lingual-multi-language-msi-using-wix-and-custom-build-scripts/
- things explained in this book:
http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/-/9781849513722/localizing-your-installer/ch12lvl1sec06(of
course, the complete version)
- my own mixed versions of all I read in different places.
- more

Michael, can you explain what you say at the end, about changing the
SummaryInfo properties?
did you simply use the script as referenced in
http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/index.htm?

I used the Windows 7 SDK script

 cscript.exe utils\WiLangId.vbs installer.msi Package 1033,1034

then open the .msi with Orca and search for 1034. I get nothing. (Not to say
that obviusly, the
installer still launches in english in my spanish OS.

B) Does WiX offer some way of Mirroring the user interface? For example,
suppose I want my
installer to be localized to arabic or some language that is read from right
to left. How can I make
the interface inverted so text are correctly aligned and images are shown in
a mirrored fashion?
(or for example, other images are shown instead of the "traditionals").

If you help me with this I will be the happiest guy ever. I'm telling you,
this is driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks - I was using a script to create the transform but when I use torch
it works great :)

Hi, Just did a build with the same things in our build environment.
The two MSIs differ only in (except language string)  Product Language
Property (1033 and 1040). The transform then is created with Torch.exe -t
Language "en-US\SetupProject.msi" "it-IT\SetupProject.msi" -out
"en-US\it-IT.mst". Did you use the "-t Language" parameter here ?

Never did it the way as described
inhttp://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/index.htm
. But at first glance the way you tried it seems similar to the described
way.

What happens if you build the italian and english package and afterwards
create the transform as described above and apply it to the english package
in the form msiexec /i SetupProject.msi TRANSFORMS=it-IT.mst ?

Hi,

I have code like this and when I install on XP and win2003, this works fine. 
But when I install on win2008R2, I get an error and the install is aborted. 
The error is "An error occurred while applying security settings. Network
Service is not a valid user or group. This could be a problem with the
package, or a problem connecting to a domain controller on the network.
Check your network connection and click retry, or Cancel to end the install.

[WiX-users] Problem with Finish dialog showing up partially off screen if Progress dialog is minimized (Win 7 only)

[Leung, John C.H.]

I have created a very simple re-pro project below.   What I notice is that on 
Windows 7 (I'm testing on a 64 bit OS), if I minimize the install Progress 
dialog box, then when the installation is finished, the install Finish dialog 
box would appear partially off screen (to the top left corner of the screen).  
This seems to happen on Windows 7 only.  It seems to be working fine on Windows 
Vista.  Has anyone seen this before?  Does anyone know of any way to fix this 
issue?  I'm using WiX 3.0.  Any help is appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] FilesInUse in Upgrade scenario

[Wilson, Phil]

Look in a verbose log for specifics rather than guessing but: 

1. Obviously, lack of any actual files in use that need upgrading, subject to 
version rules and where you have sequenced RemoveExistingProducts. 

2. OS versions with Restart Manager have improved uninstall behavior. They tend 
not to prompt files in use because the OS remaps it, removes the disk copy, and 
at the next reboot (or the user shuts down the app) it's gone. 

3. Other scenarios (like apps that integrate with Restart Manager) that avoid 
explicit in use dialogs.

You can't set it, only the Windows Installer can.  You can only use the

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall failure?

[Kevin Burton]

I have an open ticket with Microsoft. They pointed me to



http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264678/EN-US/



I have been unable to get to this link with IE 9. They also said:



"When AD calls are made with a UPN name(username@Domainname) with a bad 
password, an initial attempt is made with Kerberos, and when that fails, an 
additional attempt is made with NTLM. That is why we are seeing the badpwdcount 
attribute being incremented twice.



When the same attempt is made with a SAM account name (domain\username), only 
one attempt with Kerberos is made, and consequentially the badpwdcount 
attribute is being incremented once."



My experience with our domain controller is that the count gets bumped to 3 
when using UPN and 2 when using SAM. Anyway apparently the way a user name is 
specified does matter and using UPN formatted user name can more readily cause 
an account lockout.



The link mentions this as a problem with Windows 2000 server domain 
controllers. I am using a Windows 2008 server R2 domain controller which seems 
to exhibit different characteristics and it hasn’t been fixed there yet.



Just FYI.

There are no builtin facilities in Windows Installer nor WiX for checking 
credentials. You'll need to write a custom action to perform this type of check 
but beware that this check will likely count against the lockout count if the 
credentials are incorrect. In other words, if you use the custom action as part 
of the UI and the user tries to validate wrong credentials enough times, then 
they will still lockout the account. If the MSI does not have a UI then you'll 
have to run the installer multiple times with invalid credentials to lockout 
the account with a validation custom action. In other words, I don’t think you 
can truly avoid the problem as it depends on how many times a user specifies 
invalid credentials.



I have never seen a single installation attempt lockout an account. In my 
experience the service fails to start and causes the installation to fail 
initiating a rollback. No lockout. If I attempt the installation enough times 
with invalid credentials, then I'll see a lockout which is the same as above.

Re: [WiX-users] One install for multiple OS

[Chad Petersen]

I found OR Priviledged to work better than OR AdminUser. It actually
triggered a Windows message rather than the message in the condition.

The problem is getting the installer to consider AdminUser only when the
OS is Windows 2008 R2 
And not to consider it on any other OS.


If a user runs this install on Windows 2008 R2 and they are not "running
as Administrator", then I want an error to come up and say
You need to be an administrator.Ideally they would run this install
from inside a command prompt window that is running as administrator.

If a user runs this install on any other OS .. just proceed with the
install,  don't bother with the "running as Administrator" check.

Re: [WiX-users] Error 26201. Error -2147467259: failed to create SQL database

[kim]

Michael,

In my code I am not specifying paths for MDF and LDF files. I am just using 
tag to create DB. What confuses me is that this same code works on Windows 7
machine and not on XP. I installed SQL Express on XP box is same way as I
did on windows 7. 

Also,
SQL Server Express will be installed on users personal computer and no DBA
to maintain it.
WIX msi will be creating database in SQL Express so I believe that it will
create files in default locations.

Any further suggestions please? Thanks!

[WiX-users] WiX creating obj file in strange place

[Rennie Petersen]

In my WiX 3.5 project I'm including a wxs file via a link. I.e., the wxs
file is not in the project folder, it is fairly far away in the folder
structure, and is included using Visual Studio's "Add as a link"
facility.

 

A specific example: 

 

My project is here:

D:\Merlinia\Trunk\OutBack5x\OutBack Server\WiX 3.5 Install\OutBack
Server - WiX.wixproj

 

I include the following file using "Add as a link":

D:\Merlinia\Trunk\Common5x\WiX Include files\LicenseAgreementKludge.wxs

 

This works fine, except for one strange side-effect. WiX creates two new
folders in which to place the obj file for the included file! Here is
where the obj file is placed:

D:\Merlinia\Trunk\OutBack5x\OutBack Server\Common5x\WiX Include
files\LicenseAgreementKludge.wixobj

 

In doing this it has created the two folders "Common5x\WiX Include
files". Which I would prefer that it didn't do - I would prefer that it
placed the obj file for the included file the same place as all of the
other obj files.

 

Is this a bug or a feature? Is it possible to avoid this? 

 

I've tried asking about this at StackOverflow, and got some suggestions,
but while they fixed the original problem they had side-effects of their
own that were even worse.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5235560/wix-creating-obj-file-in-stra
nge-place

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

[WiX-users] Component is not getting removed at uninstall

[The Eligible Bachelors]

I am having trouble figuring out why a component is not being removed at 
uninstall time. This problem happens when the MSI is run in Windows 7. When run 
in XP, the component is getting removed as expected.

The Wix file is somewhat complex and contains a REINSTALLMODE property.

What I have done is generated a log during uninstall time for both the Win7 and 
XP installers. But the diff is a mess.

Any tips on how to debug this?

Great. I added Execute="deferred" and Impersonate="no" to my custom actions and

I certainly dont want to go against UAC. I want to do what is right, whatever

Depends on what you're setting this "WIX_ACCOUNT_EVERYONE" Property to &
what you're actually trying to achieve.

Assuming you're trying to set permissions for the "Everyone" group &
you've arbitrarily picked the property WIX_ACCOUNT_EVERYONE out of the
air to mean that without setting it to anything then I doubt it's going
to work.

Re: [WiX-users] light.exe: error LGHT0182: cannot find table definiation for the 'Group' table

[Yan Sklyarenko]

Have you checked exactly what the error message is saying? It's quite
verbose and as a rule for WiX error messages the likely reason turns out to
be the exact reason.

[WiX-users] FilesInUse in Upgrade scenario

[Umeshj]

Hi,

Could someone suggest what can prevent a FilesInUse or MsiRMFilesInUse
dialog from being shown during an upgrade?

I posted this in a wrong subgroup so I am posting it again.

Thanks

Umesh

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Wix 3.5 PreprocessorExtension and debugmessages

[Dennis Reil]

Yeah, it get's loaded. I see this from an error that occurs while running my 
extension. I now temporarily use log4net to put out my messages, but I guess 
this is not the intended way to do so ;-)

How would I put out messages using the Core object? I had a look at the 
OnMessage() method, but couldn't really figure out how to use it.

Regards,
   Dennis

Never tried output console messages directly. I always use the core object
to report messages. Are you sure that the extension is getting loaded? Did
you add the appropririate project reference? Need a bit more detail about
what you are doing to really be helpful.
