Re: [WiX-users] Creating a hotfix patch for an installer built with VS
Creating an MSI that just replaced that file with a higher version will work as long as the component guid is the same. Visual Studio setups don't expose Component guids, so I'd guess that the component guids are not the same, that would explain it. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 1:59 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creating a hotfix patch for an installer built with VS By the sound of it you created an MSI that contains only your hotfixed file ? That would explain the behaviour you're seeing. You could make: Major upgrade Hotfix patch There's a minor update but it probably won't give you any advantages over a major upgrade. The easiest, if you have the original installer's source code, is to make a Major upgrade. A major upgrade automatically removes the old version and replaces it with the new one. However when you remove the new version, the old version isn't reinstalled. If you want a small update patch (.msp), this is more difficult to write and requires that the Windows Installer rules are followed more closely in the original and new installers. The patch can be removed to get back to the original installation state. There are some rules you have to follow for the different update types which are documented in the MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370579%28v=VS.85%29.aspx If you're making a major upgrade then you can have Wix write the upgrade table entries for you using the MajorUpgrade element. 1. Yes you can with the Permanent attribute but it would be a bad way to fix your problem. 2. If you create one of the two update types, the files will all uninstall correctly. -Original Message- From: Ben Peikes [mailto:bpei...@gargoylestrategic.com] Sent: 12 July 2011 18:42 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Creating a hotfix patch for an installer built with VS We have an old project whose installer was built using VS.

[WiX-users] Writing to ProgramFolder with Custom Action Dll in C++
Hello List,
I'm using WiX for creating a setup with a keyfile with openSSL.
The keyfile has to be placed in the ProgramFolderDir.
After creating the key with the Custom Action, I push it in a Property
called LICENSE.
Another function should write this file to the products shortname with
.key extension.
If I start the Installer from an administrator shell, all went fine.
If I start it as user with administrator privileges, the Custom Action
returns an error.

The install sequence calls the custom action before InstallFinalize

First I tried it after InstallFinalize and without the Execute and
Impersonate attribute, but that doesn't work.
In administrator shell, all action are done, so the code is fine, but
something with rights, I guess.
What I'm doing wrong ?
How can I activate UAC or administrator privileges for running my function ?
Does the dll needs a special initialization routine ?
At linker section in Visual Studio I set the UACExecutionLevel=2
(administrator privileges), but nothing changed. I guess for dlls this is
needless.

I also wondered if ingress/egress costs made build/release as a service work as well. If the whole build system was in the cloud (to use the new buzzwords) then having the output be a final setup (compressed and delivered online) made a lot of sense to me. But, Ted, don't let my random thoughts discourage you. It'll be fascinating to see if this takes off.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with Including under TFS 2010 Build Agent
Giving the magic 8 ball a shake, I'll take a guess and say that the $(sys.CURRENTDIR) is set differently on the build machine. $(sys.CURRENTDIR) is a very volatile value. It is set to where you launch the build from. Instead, I would recommend using a relative path to the .wxi file. The Include will search relative to the .wxs file with the Include statement. Alternaively, push all the variables up into the .wixproj file and get rid of the .wxi file completely. This is what I would do personally. But I'm not a fan of .wxi files. smile/ On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 1:39 PM, John Cooper jocoo...@jackhenry.com wrote: Got a challenging problem.
