Re: [WiX-users] Same component guid, different products

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. The ServiceDependency element is only applicable when
I install a new service.

Thanks, Thorsten

 Yes, the component will be reference counted. The component rules allow
 the same component to be installed to several directories simultaneously.
 The service control is performed only when installing or removing the
 component so it won't behave as you require.
 
 I've never used them myself but have you tried using ServiceDependency
 elements ?

 Subject: [WiX-users] Same component guid, different products
 
 Hi everyone,
 
 We have a shared library for all our products we include during
compilation.
 Now I would like to stop and start IIS during installation because running
iis
 applications can get in the way of updates. This is very easily done with
the
 fragment below.
 
   Fragment
 Component Id=CStartStop Guid={DDE4A64B-54B8-4679-A49A-
 4BCE95CFF793}
 Directory=FProduct
   CreateFolder/
   ServiceControl Id=W3SVC Name=W3SVC Start=both
 Stop=both/
 /Component
   /Fragment
 
 Now, if I reference this in several products, they all have the same Guid.
 Will that cause the component to be reference counted? FProduct is
 different for every product. It is important this starting and stopping is
done
 every time, not just for the first product.
 
 Thanks, Thorsten

Re: [WiX-users] Same component guid, different products

2011-03-30 Thread Peter Shirtcliffe
In that case, I think you'll have to put a new service control element with
each component (or perhaps just each feature) that needs to restart IIS.

[WiX-users] Merge Module not identifying my fragment files

2011-03-30 Thread Stelios Kyprou
Hello there!
I'm trying to create a simple merge module, where I define my components in a 
separate .wxs file as a fragment.
My directory structure is as follows:

Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
Directory Id=ProgramFiles64Folder
Directory Id=INSTALLDIR Name=Foo Ltd.
 Directory Id=FOO Name=Foo/
 /Directory
/Directory
/Directory

My .wxs (Fragment) file has a bunch of components, sitting under the 
DirectoryRef tag with Id=FOO
They are also added in a component group called FooFiles

When I build the project, light gives me a warning saying that the merge module 
cabinet is empty.
Adding the components directly under the Directory Id=FOO ... tag works 
like a charm.

Is there something I'm missing out here? Doing this in a standalone installer 
works fine!

Regards,
Stel

Re: [WiX-users] Merge Module not identifying my fragment files

2011-03-30 Thread Pally Sandher
I'm guessing it's probably because there's no reference to the Fragment
so it's not including it. Try adding a ComponentGroupRef for FooFiles
under your FOO Directory or something else which links the Fragment to
your Module Element. That should sort it out.

You are not allowed to add a ComponentGroupRef tag under Directory, at

The project is within Visual studio, so the fragment file is used in candle and 
light.

I did though write
ComponentGroupRef Id= FooFiles/ under the module tag, and that seemed to

I guess this was working within the Product tags when I was building an .msi, 
since you reference the component group under the  Feature  tag.
BUT since you don't specify Features in merge modules, I didn't have the 
component group referenced anywhere in the module
This was kind of misleading, and not documented anywhere, since I was expecting

the reference.
Or am I thinking the wrong way?

Nope you're spot on with your guesses. It's probably documented
somewhere but I'm not in the mood for trawling through the docs right
now. I think either light is always trying to be pessimistic about what
should be packaged into an .msi or .msm without an implicit reference
telling it otherwise.

 /Directory

 My .wxs (Fragment) file has a bunch of components, sitting under the

 DirectoryRef tag with Id=FOO
 They are also added in a component group called FooFiles

 When I build the project, light gives me a warning saying that the 
 merge module cabinet is empty.
 Adding the components directly under the Directory Id=FOO ... tag

 works like a charm.

 Is there something I'm missing out here? Doing this in a standalone 
 installer works fine!

 Stel

Re: [WiX-users] Registry check for Acrobat reader

2011-03-30 Thread Chad Petersen
I think this is happening because your Silverlight check has a version
number in the registry Data and the URLProtocol has no value in the
registry Data for that string. I think you might need to check a setting
that would actually have a value. As soon as I put a value of Test in
the URLProtocol then the check started working fine.

I also had luck with this code, but you'd probably need a separate
RegistrySearch for each version using this approach.

Property Id=ACROBATREADER
RegistrySearch Id=AcrobatReaderChk Root=HKLM
Key=SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Installer Type=directory
Name=Path/

So what does your feature and condition element look like?  I've noticed 
several 
of your questions to this list provide very minimal context of the problem that 
you are having.  It's difficult to do anything more then guess at what the 
problem is if you only provide partial abstracts of the actual WiX elements.

Re: [WiX-users] bootstrapper for non-Microsoft installer - warning item not located

2011-03-30 Thread Tobias S
No sorry. I meant the prerequisite is started by clicking on
setup.exe. Then a dialog appears if the launch condition for the
prerequisite is not satisfied and the user can confirm to install it.
As I remember the bootstrapper aborts if the user cancels the
prerequisite installation. So he is obliged to confirm in order to
install the application.

At first I thought you mean the prerequisite is directly embedded into
the setup.exe what the MS Bootstrapper cannot do.

[WiX-users] Importing an existing website

2011-03-30 Thread Peter Hecht
Hello,

It would be nice if there was a way to create a set of WIX files from
an existing web site.

Something like the Web Deploy Export application.  This would set up
the needed directory and iis:web* statements in a file.  It would
certain ease certain tasks.  The file would set up the proper web
sites. virtual dir, app and app pools needed to represent the site.

Then adding in the proper files would be straight forward.

I don't think one exists at this time. What do you all think?


Pete

P.S. I do truly appreciate wixedit and the person who has updated it to .0.7.5.

I read about that, as stated by Neil,
useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy must be set to true to prevent
issues 
(http://siderite.blogspot.com/2010/07/msi-custom-action-error-2896-on-windows.html).

But if I want the code not to run on FW 2.0 is it possible to not
allow the Runtime by commenting the supportedRuntime version 2.0 in
the .config: ?

 ?xml version=1.0?
 configuration
   startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=true
 supportedRuntime version=v4.0 /
!-- supportedRuntime version=v2.0.50727/ --
   /startup
 /configuration

In this case I assume to be sure that the 4.0 code runs on 4.0 without
issues and on 2.0 not. Even normally this should work I'd like to
suppress the residual risk.

 I am targeting .Net 4 with DTF and have not seen an issue. IIRC
 correctly you do need to make an alteration to the .config file as
 follows:

 I know it is supposed to work (saw the fixed bugs on it) but I needed a
 sanity check just to confirm with someone else that using WiX v3.5 and
 DTF with targeted .NET framework of 4.0, that it works for them and I
 must be doing something wrong =]

Re: [WiX-users] Light OutOfMemory?

2011-03-30 Thread Rob Mensching
What version of the WiX toolset are you running? If its a recent build, can
you drop the .pdbs next to light and get a full callstack?

 I have WiX integrated with Visual Studio so the installer is built when the
 solution is built. Right now I consistently run into the error from light:

 Error  1  Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException'
 was thrown.light.exe  0  1
  BsiServices

 I saw back in 2006 there was a suggestion to split the project into
 multiple .wxs files. I have done some splitting but I still get this error.
 Any other suggestions?
