Re: [WiX-users] Execute Sequence In "Change" Mode
Thanks Christopher, that is very helpful. I will certainly look into Feature and Components conditions... Since I posted this I have for the first time turned on verbose logging, and that is giving me a much better feel for these execution sequences. I mention that here because with verbose logging turned on, you can see what executes and in what order, so I could have used that logging data to determine the sequence things run in in the different modes. -Original Message- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@deploymentengineering.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 6:11 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

[WiX-users] Possible bug in WixUIExtension ?
I've built a custom UI based on WixUI_Mondo [WiX v3.5.2519.0] ... following the pattern outlined in the WiX Tutorial [http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/index.php] and by Neil Sleightholm [http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html] ... but I'm experiencing some weirdness in Maintenance mode. All I'm doing is adding a single dialog after CustomizeDlg ... and it works fine during the initial installation, but when I try to use the 'Change' option through Add/Remove Programs [in Win7 Pro SP1 32 or 64 bit], the VerifyReadyDlg only has 'Back' and 'Cancel' buttons visible. The reason I suspect something other than my simple-minded code is that if I take the WixUI_Mondo.wxs from the source file zip ... rename the UI to something like WixUI_Mondo2 in all the appropriate places and use it without any other changes, I get the same behavior as my failing customized interface. Is it possible that the files in the source zip are old/incorrect ... or that the WixUIExtension DLL was built with old/incorrect dialogs ? I haven't tested on WinXP yet ... that's my next step ... and I'll post the results. Anybody have ideas/suggestions ... I'm stuck and I need to get this in to production.

Re: [WiX-users] How to install local service data files
Depending on what of that path can vary from system to system, you could use [SystemFolder]config\systemprofile\appdata\roaming, but 1) why roaming for a system (local) service, and 2) can it be some other directory? If it can be a locked down but shared directory, you might instead use [CommonApDataFolder], which results to all users' AppData folder. The MSI documentation has more.

Re: [WiX-users] size of installation in Add\Remove programs applet
You can set it as a public property (all caps). In your dialog events, call the SetProperty control event to set it as needed.

Re: [WiX-users] How To Run Custom Action During Install But Not During Uninstall
I usually just use a condition of "REINSTALL OR NOT Installed", as my actions aren't tied to a specific feature.

Re: [WiX-users] size of installation in Add\Remove programs applet
How to write this custom action, which sum filesize values for all features, marked for installation? What language can i use for it? How to find out, if feature marked for installation? filesize for each feature i can hard write into code (it is known at design time). 25.05.2011 9:15, Blair Murri пишет: > > Calculate the value you wish to place in ARPSIZE based on whatever you wish > to use and set that property to that value.
